Black Butler: Dangling From The Web

~Instrumental Games~

Claude changes him a bit quickly, then smiled a bit as he looks at Alois "you look wonderful" he bows.

Claude slowly arrives to the visible part of the top of the stairs "Now, it's to time to play..." Claude instructs the musicans to play, as Sebastian looks up at Claude...both make eye contact. Ciel was about to comment when he saw the girl, she was skipping down the stairs.

'Does she not walk?!' Ciel thought to himself.

Ciel hears the girl whistle the tune as she grabs an appetizer from the tray a servant was carrying, "thank you hannah..." Hannah nods "you're welcome my lady" the girl kept whistling and moving further into the crowd.

He followed her "wait!" he tries to reach for her hand but missed, he growls as he started getting a bit irritated and annoyed, he followed her out of the crowd and down a dark hall that was barely lit by the low light, dark candles.

The girl just skips down the hall into the music room, Ciel hears the piano playing... Quite lovely playing. No way such a servant could play like that. She must be a Trancy. He slowly walks towards the girl playing Moonlight Sonata-I. Adagio.

He watched her in her beautiful purple dress with black bows, as she had a beautiful black mask with silver spider webs and a nice little blue butterfly set on purple feather to the side. Her smooth, satin gloves slowly kissing the keys of the grand piano, he slowly walked closer.

"Who are you?" Ciel asks curious, and glares a bit.

She smiled as she kept playing "your manners are atrocious. Is that a way to address a lady? Or has a dirty servant walked into my music room?"

He growls quietly a bit and tries to calm down "i'm sorry my lady, It's just that you've been everywhere I have and I'm getting quite curious..."

"Oh are you?" She smiles deviously "well you know what the say..." Continues to play, look up at Ciel "curiosity kills the cat"

Ciel just kept starring at her.

She continues to play "Wouldn't you agree that I have been there first? So in all actually, you have been chasing me? This is in fact my home. Tell me, are you drawn to me and using your curiosity as an excuse?"

He becomes irritated and stops as he's quick to think. His eyes wife I shock.

'is she right?....am I really following her?'

He thinks to himself as the voices in his head come back.

'she's right Ciel...your drawn to her in many ways, you just haven't noticed it until now' the voice said.

He tries to silence his mind as he closed his eyes tight and tried not scream, it was driving him crazy the way it would speak to him, he tried to keep the calm attitude as he spoke to her "and if I was?"

"Then I would free to call it courtship" she smiles as she stops playing "but you are being a bit too obvious aren't you?"

"What do you mean obvious? Obvious Of what?, my lady..."

'Well if you don't know, why should I tell you" she goes back playing her piano.. This time she plays the tune...that tune about his mother.

He glares at her fingers playing the song "that tune...what does it mean to you?"

"Its rather lovely isn't it?" She smiles softly.

'Huh?...why is she ignoring the question?' He thought as he began to feel frustrated.

She stops playing and meet Ciel face to face "you look upset. Was it something I did?" she curtseyed and begins to leave the room.

He grabbed her hand "wait..." he says a bit sternly, "you still haven't answered my questions...What is it that is obvious about me?..and what does that song mean to you...?!"

She glares at him, "I shouldn't even be speaking to you. Our families don't get along for ages. I'm sure though an invitation for tea is a proper way to invite a lady to a conversation" she takes her hand back and slaps Ciel "thats for being rude" she stormed out of the room pouting a bit.

He growled at her softly as she left the room "dammit" he mumbled. He left the room shortly after that and went back into the ball room to find Sebastian.

Hannah softly clears her throat to get his attention "excuse me lord Phantomhive, my master would be honored if you joined him in his study room for tea...."

Ciel looked at her suspiciously and looked back at Sebastian that was browsing the room for him, then looked back at Hannah and nodded "very well then..." he walked away with maid and Sebastian caught up.
