The butler watches Ciel faint and catches he catches him, feeling his body cold.
'He must of still not be well...'
He carries Ciel to his room and lays him down, quickly changes him and covers him in blankets to warm him up again.
'it must also be because he hasn't eaten anything since the morning...'
He prepares a broth, ready for when the master was ready to eat... a carriage arrives to take them to the ball but Sebastian waves them off politely.
---------------
Hannah had knocked on her masters door, carrying more clothes for her master to choose from.. so far none are to his liking, "You look great in all of them master...."
Alois spins in the ruffled shirt and Long jacket that made him look like a king "hmm.. I don't like it!" throws it off onto the bed.
"These are the last batch... I'm sure you are going to be the best dressed master..."
Claude opens the door and adjusts his glasses "I'm sorry to announce that Ciel Phantomhive will not be arriving tonight"
"What?! HE IS THE WHOLE POINT OF THIS STUPID BALL!!! HE CANT JUST SUDDENLY TURN HIS BACK ON IT!"
"He did. The carriage came empty with this note..." Claude hands it Alois.
Dear Earl Trancy,
Here is our dearest apologies to the earl of Trancy. My young master is not feeling well to make an appearance at your ball. Please accept our sincerest apologize as I know he was looking forward to it.
- Phantomhive manor
Hannah him!" he growls as he threw the not on the floor.
Hannah picks it up "your guests are still here. It would be rude to cancel because of Ciel Phantomhive....."
He glares at the butler "then find me something to wear! And make it MARVELOUS! IF IT ISN'T....I WILL....PUNISH YOU" he smirks a bit.
-------
Claude bows... "yes, your highness..." Sebastian waited, he kept looking at his master who was finally getting a bit of color back....he placed a warm cloth on his head and wiped his brow.....Ciel was starting to wake up... feeling the effect of whatever the spider did finally gone... his head was clear now... "boochan?... how is your head feeling now?"
"Huh?" he sits up quickly "did I fall asleep?..." He stands up "the ball--"
"I sent word that you weren't attending. You fainted my lord. You were awake enough to drink some warm broth and tea..."
He growls "damn you! I didn't order you to do that...go pick my clothing and my mask, it is rude but we arriving late...I need to go..."
"Master.... You have been under a lot of stress... A good night rest--"
"--Do I really need to repeat myself Sebastian?!" Glares at him.
"No. my lord " Sebastian grins a bit, he likes how defiant Ciel is. The butler grabs his clothes and masks and brings them to Ciel..."which mask do you prefer my lord?.." he starts to change ciel into the clothing costumes.
"That one" points at the Dark Blue half Butterfly wing mask, he stretches his arms out to the side as Sebastian dressed him in a long black cape with a materiel of Satin, Sapphire blue the color in the cape....beautiful silver and black clothes he wore under it all.
"Excellent my lord..." The butler polishes Ciel shoes, then carefully slips them onto his feet, "ready my lord, I shall get the carriage...." He bows and lets his master look over in the mirror...Yes, this will do very well.. Ciel sees Fin reflection and the shy boy stops looking a bit uncomfortable.
'Maybe the master was still angry at me...'
He clears his throat, " you look marvelous master..."
Turns and looks at him, he sighs softly...he makes sure Sebastian wasn't looking, so he couldn't point this out as a weakness later "I'm not angry with you, I'm not apologizing for what I did...because I don't have to, high class do not apologize to servants...." He tried to be cold but somehow he was still apologizing in his soft, mean voice.
Fin nods.. accepting at least the master wasn't angry.. he smiles, "enjoy the ball master sherlock " he grins and watches Ciel leave down the steps.
Sebastian was waiting there in his normal clothes but.,his mask and hair...his hair looked more unkept, as his mask was fitted perfectly on his face, it almost matched the sapphire on Ciels mask and cape.
"Your hair" he frowns a bit "fix it, I don't want them to believe I let my servants make a mess of the manor...." mumbles "although they already have..." he looks at Sebastian "just fix it, its bothering me..."
"Yes ... my lord. " in one quick action, its back to normal. They ride out to Trancy manor, it was pretty far...the girl who brought the invite couldn't of just skipped the way like Fin had said.
He snickered a bit as he sat across Sebastian "she couldn't have...."
"It is quite a long way to skip... That is if she also is part of the Trancy manor..."
Ciel just sighs and looks out window the rest of the way there.
Trancy waits in his room "that damn butler...Hannah!!! Get in here you tart!"
Hannah rushes in and looks down "yes master? Your guests are getting restless..."
"Well tell that little shit of a butler to hurry up with my clothes" glares and growls at Hannah as she rushed out of the room.
Carriage finally stopped in front of the Trancy manor as Sebastian walked out and held his hand out for his master, Ciel takes the hand and steps out carefully... "Such a perfect time to have a ball" he closes his eyes and smiles a bit, as they walked up to the door.
The triplets open the door and bow at their guest, "we are sorry for our late arrival.. may I introduce... earl of Phantomhive...." the triplets nod as they enter.... the crowd around greet him... Claude rushes up with the outfits... "Two set of clothes. I am late but I bring surprising news... Ciel is here...."
He jumps excited "he is?! Well then don't just stand there...dress me!"
Ciel looks around for the girl "where is she?..."
