♚ Thirty-Ninth Move - {Video}/{Action}

[faustianphantom]

You will step no further! I will defend her with my life! [Hello, Poly. You are greeted with the sight of a young boy waving a sword in your face this morning. He seems quite adamant about having himself heard.] If you take another step, I will slash you to pieces!

[There is a wicked gleam in Ciel's eye and a dark smirk on his lips.]

Who dares to challenge me? [Briefly, he brings his sword down to his side and eyes the "crowd".] Are you too cowardly to announce yourself? How pathetic. [He even goes so far as to sheathe his sword again. Such ego.]

You are not worthy of her. Leave her in my company and escape with your tail tucked between your legs.

[ooc: Ciel is...an aggressive hero. Feel free to be the heroine/princess or a rival hero/villain vouching for his lady's hand. I'm cool with any idea you might have!

Also, sorry for being missing for so long. My puppy has been really sick. I should be around more now. ♥]

Action | Can Hikaru be the fair princess? XD

[Hikaru is standing behind Ciel in a very fancy gown, (http://omgthatdress.tumblr.com/post/3791295060/ornamentedbeing-charles-worth) and her hair is all up in ringlet curls. She seems very distressed by the situation at hand, and is clutching nervously at a feathery fan.]

Pray, my lord, can violence not be averted? Surely a peaceful compromise can be reached!

Action | Absolutely!

I don't see how. [Ciel shifts to stand in front of her.] Stay behind me, my lady. I will take care of this.

Slightly delayed orz

[eyes-ab1aze.livejournal.com]

Perhaps tensions are running too high at present, but I really think rational discussion is a far better option than unnecessary violence.

Even later.

[queens-guarddog.livejournal.com]

If there is time for that, I will consider it. However, if they attack me first, I will have no choice but to defend myself.

[sinandservitude.livejournal.com]

Your Highness, may I offer a suggestion?

[queens-guarddog.livejournal.com]

What would that be?

[sinandservitude.livejournal.com]

Be able to save yourself first before you decide to go off to defend young ladies.

[queens-guarddog.livejournal.com]

[Ciel narrows his eyes and points his sword at Sebastian's chest.]

Are you threatening me?

[sinandservitude.livejournal.com]

[He doesn't pay any attention to the sword.]

Why, not at all. It's merely a suggestion you should make note of.

[queens-guarddog.livejournal.com]

Indeed? [He releases a silent breath, lowering his weapon slightly.] I am fully able to defend myself.

[sinandservitude.livejournal.com]

Is that so? I'm not so sure.

[queens-guarddog.livejournal.com]

How can I convince you?

[sinandservitude.livejournal.com]

How else? A demonstration.

[queens-guarddog.livejournal.com]

Do you intend to take my lady from me?

[sinandservitude.livejournal.com]

Your Highness, I could care less for her.

[queens-guarddog.livejournal.com]

Then what point is there in fighting you?

[sinandservitude.livejournal.com]

To prove your worth in protecting her, of course.

[queens-guarddog.livejournal.com]

And if I am found faulty?

[sinandservitude.livejournal.com]

Why, that discovery would be enough in and of itself for me.

[queens-guarddog.livejournal.com]

What are we waiting for?

[sinandservitude.livejournal.com]

For you to come to prove your mettle, I believe.

[queens-guarddog.livejournal.com]

Very well. {He pulls out his sword.}

[sinandservitude.livejournal.com]

I shall meet you at the park, then?

[queens-guarddog.livejournal.com]

I will be there in ten minutes.
