♚ Thirty-Fourth Move - {Video}

[Ciel is sitting at his desk, writing in long fluid strokes. While he does look better, there is something...off about him. Perhaps it's the way he's shifting in his seat or perhaps it has something to do with the tight, angry expression on his face. Whatever it is, the Earl is unnerved.

Finally, he puts down his pen and struggles to stand up. Grimacing, he grips the desk and struggles to steady his breathing - which is suddenly becoming shallower and shallower. Tipping sideways, he falls to his knees and curls into a small ball.

His entire body is trembling and, though it is barely audible, it seems like he is whispering "Not again" over and over again.]


It's not the same. [He mutters, forcing himself to look up. A moment later, he scrambles back into his chair and bites back a hiss of pain.] I'm free.

[Glaring, Ciel reaches across the desk and pulls the recorder closer.]

What is causing this?

It's not a secret. Funtom offers the public toys, games, clothing, sweets and survival items.

Toys and survival items…? One wouldn’t readily put those two things together, unless you mean tents and things of that nature. I suppose those could be both toys and survival items.

The survival items are a new addition. Funtom did not offer them in London.

I see. The City does have a great need of items like that…

Thus why we offer them.

Ehhhhhh? Well, of course you're free, Mr. Phantomdwarf. Slavery was abolished a long, long time ago. And you're not a fairy, for people to kidnap you and keep you locked away.

People are saying a lot of odd things are going on. It's all been happening since that tower fell down.

[She's not asking if he's alright, but she will appear at some point with tea for the sake of it. She doubts it'll help much, since she's experiencing some aggravation herself.]

[Sebastian will be at Ciel's side as soon as he finishes talking, helping him up and steadying him. It doesn't look like an asthma attack, but he may as well ask.]

Young Master, is your asthma acting up again?

[Ciel doesn't even fight Sebastian off. Something must truly be wrong.]

N-No.

[He leans against the demon, breathing stilted.]

I thought I would never feel this way again.

I certainly hope this won't last until a tower is rebuilt.

[His words are hissed. The tea is appreciated.]

[identity profile] queens-guarddog.livejournal.com 2011-03-24 07:51 am (UTC)(link)
I don't want to talk to you today. [Grumbled.] I imagine you have never been harmed in your life.

[Sebastian hands Ciel a cup of tea to help calm him.]

A pain from the past?

Pains. [He emphasizes the "s", sipping the tea with a grimace.] These aches bring up bad memories.

[identity profile] sparkling-by.livejournal.com 2011-03-24 12:50 pm (UTC)(link)
...would you like some tea?

[identity profile] sinandservitude.livejournal.com 2011-03-25 07:30 am (UTC)(link)
[An understanding expression crosses his face.]

I see. Perhaps something more potent than tea, then. Would you care for a hot toddy, Young Master?

[identity profile] queens-guarddog.livejournal.com 2011-03-25 11:13 pm (UTC)(link)
...very well.

[He arches a brow and nods stiffly.]

I would prefer that. [Wincing, he reaches down and touches his side.] It burns.

See? That wasn't difficult at all. We'll get you niiiiiiiiice and cozy.

[identity profile] queens-guarddog.livejournal.com 2011-03-25 11:31 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm far too uncomfortable to feel cozy.

[identity profile] sparkling-by.livejournal.com 2011-03-25 11:32 pm (UTC)(link)
More tea.

[identity profile] queens-guarddog.livejournal.com 2011-03-25 11:33 pm (UTC)(link)
And that will solve everything, I suppose?

[identity profile] sparkling-by.livejournal.com 2011-03-25 11:35 pm (UTC)(link)
...macarons?
