♚ Thirteenth Move - {Text}

{Private; Sebastian can read everything.}

The shop is nearly finished. I did what I could as far as contracts are concerned, but I doubt any of them are legally binding. Yet putting on a good front is a must. [Not to mention old habits die hard.]

I am pleased that Sebastian has accompanied me. He has made things immensely easier, though I refuse to praise him. I expect we shall be making a profit by next month. I thoroughly look forward to buying some of the rarer necessities. [In Ciel speak "rarer necessities" means "things I want" not "things I need".]

{Private; Alois Trancy.}

Would you care to have tea at my mansion?

{Private; Cain & Mary Hargreaves.}

All of our hard work will soon pay off.

I feel rather good today. [A prideful Ciel is a happy Ciel.] I think I will take a walk. Sebastian, you will accompany me.

[A pause.] If anyone would like to join us, I can't say I would mind. [Unless you are a known enemy.] It's good to get some exercise, after all.
