♚ Forty-First Move - {Voice}

[faustianphantom]

I am disgusted by my actions. For those of you who were lucky enough to witness my - erm - transformation, I apologize for giving into the curse. I was perfectly capable of {not acting like a cat}behaving myself, but I - {He isn't even sure how to finish that thought. Sighing, he clears his throat and begins anew.}

I grow weary of the constant cursing and violent nature of this city. I am grateful that no one else from my family has arrived. They would only be more fodder for the deities' ill intentions. {Still, he can't deny that it would be nice to see them - if only for a moment.}

It looks like I will never be going back to London at this rate. I miss the city and its various sights and sounds. I miss my mansion with its garden of white roses. But, most of all, I miss being recognized by my title. My family's history is tied inextricably with the English Monarchy. Phantomhive is a name that nearly everyone in London is, at the very least, aware of. Here, however, ... {Ciel snorts derisively.}

After a while, you have to wonder: isn't everyone a bit too old for excuses?

You wouldn't dare.

[queens-guarddog.livejournal.com]

It's not an excuse - it's a fact.

[sparkling-by.livejournal.com]

Right, right! My bad!


Mr. Phantomdwarf is stranded and needs to be rescued. It's all right! I'll fight off the dragon for you, like a good prince, defending his sworn princess! But just so we're clear, you should really be wearing a gown for this part.

{He sighs breathily.} Indeed.


I am no princess. Get that filthy image out of your mind.

[sparkling-by.livejournal.com]

But then I remembered your temper.

[sparkling-by.livejournal.com]

And then I hid.

[queens-guarddog.livejournal.com]

I don't know anything about running a bakery.

[queens-guarddog.livejournal.com]

Hm.

[queens-guarddog.livejournal.com]

You might be learning.

[sparkling-by.livejournal.com]

But you know about businesses, don't yo --
