♚ Thirty-Second Move - {Voice}

[faustianphantom]

I have no need for sports. [Other than Chess, that is. Can that be called a sport, though?] Yet I have this strange desire to...play.

Perhaps Fencing will appease me.

[His voice is thoughtful, almost as if he can't believe he is saying these words.]

Find me a suitable partner, Sebastian, or Fence with me yourself.

I see.

[Another pause, and with a soft, calm look, she replies, watching the Earl, but also gazing within him.]

Well...the only other thing I can say is that whatever happens, I believe the strength of your soul will aid you.

[It's not said, but from the slightly knowing look on her features, it's clear that, despite Tsubaki isn't as perceptive in reading souls as others, she has the basic sense to detect and feel them. Being around Ciel so much, means she has a fairly tuned reading from his soul wavelength, which she is currently perceiving as she speaks.]

That goes without saying. [Ciel has never even contemplated failure. His soul is strong because he believes in himself. (It certainly doesn't hurt that he has an immortal being on his side, though.)]

Perhaps I will tell you the story one day.

I mean that quite literally Earl. My perception may not be as acute as others I know, but your soul wavelength is strong, that much I can tell.

[On hearing his words, she bows her head respectfully.]

In that case, I will look forward to when that day may come. [Admittedly she's a bit surprised he would consider such a thing, but appreciates the gesture all the same.]

You possess an impressive gift. It could come in handy one day.

[He waves his hand.]

I can foresee a day when it might become necessary for you to know. But that day hasn't come yet.

It's not really a gift, it's a common skill of meisters and weapons.

[After raising her head, she smiles softly at him.]

Then I shall wait for the time you see fit that I need to know Earl.

[queens-guarddog.livejournal.com]

It may be common in your world, but it is a rare skill in the City.

[He nods stiffly.]
