♚ Twenty-Eighth Move - {Text}

What a pointless day.

[There is a lengthy pause before he starts writing again.]

I can only imagine how she would react to this change in scenery. [He doesn't think about Elizabeth terribly often, but it's hard not to when the city transforms itself into such a girlish paradise.] It's best that she's not here. I'm certain I would hurt her feelings by calling all of this a waste of time. But it is.

It's like any other holiday. It will come and go quickly enough; and only those who have a reason for celebrating it will recall it.

I'm pleased I'm not one of those. [Or is he? Ciel likes lying to himself as well.]

[Another pause.]

At least my manor will remain unblemished by gaudy decorations.

"She", Earl Phantomhive?

Mm. [He debates whether or not he should type her name.] "She" is my fiancee.

[This is just Sebastian lurking and making note of this for the future.]

[As if you didn't know he hated gaudy decorations already.]

You were promptly rejected, weren't you, Mr. Phantomdwarf.

[identity profile] queens-guarddog.livejournal.com 2011-02-14 11:04 pm (UTC)(link)
...rejected by whom?

Whomever you asked to see you on this cutest and cuddliest of days, except -

[identity profile] sparkling-by.livejournal.com 2011-02-14 11:07 pm (UTC)(link)
- so now you're bitter and loooooonely

[identity profile] queens-guarddog.livejournal.com 2011-02-14 11:11 pm (UTC)(link)
I didn't ask anyone. The she I was referring to is my fiancee. She isn't even present in the city.

Not a holiday to your tastes, I take it.

[identity profile] sparkling-by.livejournal.com 2011-02-14 11:19 pm (UTC)(link)
...oh. Oopsie.

[identity profile] queens-guarddog.livejournal.com 2011-02-14 11:21 pm (UTC)(link)
Indeed.

[identity profile] queens-guarddog.livejournal.com 2011-02-14 11:22 pm (UTC)(link)
No. My fiancee would love it, however.

It's... okay... Mr. Phantomdwarf...

[identity profile] sparkling-by.livejournal.com 2011-02-14 11:24 pm (UTC)(link)
Even if the only person who would probably ever go with you isn't here -

[identity profile] sparkling-by.livejournal.com 2011-02-14 11:25 pm (UTC)(link)
You can still come to the ball and be anything but your naturally social self.

It's Phantomhive.

I am loyal to her. It would be improper to ask anyone else to spend this holiday with me.

[identity profile] queens-guarddog.livejournal.com 2011-02-14 11:31 pm (UTC)(link)
I'd rather not.

Yes, yes, you've made that perfectly clear, Ciel Phantomdwarf!

[identity profile] sparkling-by.livejournal.com 2011-02-14 11:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Anyway - you can come without an escort. The Master of Ceremonies hereby gives you permission. This would be your cue to thank him.

[identity profile] misterblackbird.livejournal.com 2011-02-14 11:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Perhaps it is best that she isn't here, then: I think she'd spoil your mood even further.

[identity profile] queens-guarddog.livejournal.com 2011-02-14 11:55 pm (UTC)(link)
So why don't you listen?

[identity profile] queens-guarddog.livejournal.com 2011-02-14 11:56 pm (UTC)(link)
I'd rather not. The Master of Ceremonies is welcome to invite someone else.
