Black Butler: Dangling From The Web

~The Spiders Invite To Dinner~

----------------------------------------------------------------

A messenger knocks on the Phantomhive door, Ciel was eating his dinner as seb comes back reading a note "master, Lord Trancy has invited you over for dinner "

Ciel thinks its probably about Lady Trancy and the gift he gave her. Plus he still had to thank Alois for the stupid thing he had done, taking a bullet for him. He tried forcing his feelings back, he didn't like the fact that his stomach would drop at the sound of that name, he didn't like how warm and lovely it felt to hear that name even if it wasn't the Trancy he expected he still loved to hear that name. He smiles a bit then quickly forced himself to stop "then I shall accept it would be rude not to.."

"of course, you still have a name to live by..." Sebastian helps the master change into a beautiful new velvet jacket and black and velvet clothing underneath with his new gold and blood red cane and head off in the carriage.

When they arrive, Sebastian knocks on the door softly as Claude opened the door "welcome Lord Phantomhive...my master has been expecting your arrival"

Alois stands at the stairs and bows a bit "thank you for coming on a short notice... there's a few things we need to talk about. But first, let's have dinner.... Claude, show him the way..." they walk to the dinning hall and it has elaborate decor, "please...sit..."

Sebastian pulls the chair for Ciel to sit and looked at Claude "if I can be of any assistance with dinner..." He smiled a bit and walked with Claude to the kitchen.

"I hope I didn't disturb you with my invitation, I would of understood if you didn't come..." he rubs his chest a bit, his wound was not hurting but he had to fake it.

Ciel smiled with respect and closed his eyes as he nodded "it is quite alright, I did plan on asking for a day to meet so I just took the advantage of accepting your invitation. I wanted to thank you for saving my life, there really was no reason for you to do it, but I do appreciate it...although, if i may ask...why save the life of a rival? We barely just met face to face and became acquainted, rather quickly to show a love for a starting friendship don't you agree?"

"This is my home. And anyone threatened in my home is my responsibility. I didn't expect the reaction I got. It seems you don't value friendship because... You don't have any? Am I right?"

He looks at him a bit surprised and hurt.

'he acts a lot like his sister and to hear him speak that way somehow makes me feel incredibly...rude.' Ciel thought.

"I'm sorry. I just meant that its hard when your alone to trust anyone. I'm a fool really, I trust too much and I really do want us to be good friends despite our family past" Trancy spoke.

Claude and Sebastian come with the dinner plates and set them down in front of the two boys each butler standing by their master "There were two things I wanted to talk about..." Ciel looks around and sees that Lady Trancy isno where to be found. Alois notices the other looking around, "are you looking for my sister lord Phantomhive?"

He blushes a bit as he was surprised that Alois even noticed, he tries to hide his impatient feeling, "I'm sorry, I was just a bit curious to why she isn't eating...wouldn't she want to have dinner with us?..."

"That was something else I wanted to speak to you. I'm head of this manor and her conduct is not as proper as I would like a Trancy lady to be. The gift you gave her is not just a friend gift am I right?....."

He didn't even realize that the real reason he bought her that gift was because of his stupid feelings, he blushed a bit more as he faked a nervous smile, "well, I suppose you could say that...I know it is quite rude to do such things without a---"

Alois sighs "yet.. You did. I'm sorry but she is leaving for a convent at the end of this week..."

'what?... He can't punish her for something i did...!'

"Shes rather upset with me..." he looks up towards her room.

Ciel eyes widen a bit as he stood up not thinking "Alois Trancy I believe that is the most ridiculous to do the lady..."

"I believe she is my sister and under my charge" he stands as well but holds his chest...Claude looks at the bandages...Ciel can see its bleeding "excuse us.... I must change his bandages..." they leave, setting the chance for Ciel to go see how lady Trancy was. He knew it would be rude but he had to see she was alright.

"Master...."

"Wait here..." Ciel glares at him ordering him with his eyes to not move a muscle, he walked up the stares cautiously and walked to her room that had the door opened.
