Black Butler: Dangling From The Web

~A Mad, Busy Day~

The night passed and Ciel saw the sunrise.  There was a carriage at the door and he knew who it was..damn Scotland yard.  He heard Sebastian handle everything.  Sebastian came upstairs and walked into the room.  "Morning my lord. Slept well?" He asked as he opened the curtains fully.

He put a hand up to his eyes as he grunted, "close the damn curtains they burn my eyes~" he held the cat close to his chest.

"we have business to attend to.  The undertaker is requesting your decision on madam red arrangements..."

Ciel sighs, petting the cat more as it purred, "I...I want her to rest in the deepest passion of red, dress her in the most beautiful gown of a natural rose color...the vibrant red that expresses her beauty and heart she had for sometime ...lost she seemed. Although i may have hated her but cared deeply for her..."

"as much as I concede to the undertaker, he still requests your presence.  If I may, even if she did plan your murder, you will still show kindness? I wonder....the day I shall eat your soul will you be as kind, " Sebastian smiled as he opened a robe for him, "your bath my lord."

Ciel frowned a bit at Sebastian then he looked at the kitten on his chest, he sneezes.

"the kitten has to stay my lord.  Have you decided what to name her?" Sebastian waited patiently

He looks down at her, "are you saying I should keep her?"

"The way she's moving is nesting. She thinks of you as her mother. Would be a shame to take her away after she made a home with you. But if you don't want...."he goes to grab the kitten.

He slaps Sebastian's hand away, "no I suppose I disk keep her.... I'll name her... Sapphire Rachel Phantomhive"

"Excellent choice.  About that bath my lord." He still had the rope opened for his master. Ciel placed the kitten on his bed and saw it curl up in the covers.  "Seems lady sapphire didn't get enough rest."

Ciel yawns a bit, "same goes for her master" he tried to move his ankle but it still hurt a bit.

"boochan...." His voice was almost sweet .  He picked up ciel and carried him to the bath.  "the warm water will help your ankle.  I'm afraid you might have to walk on it more. Unless you wish for me to carry you everywhere throughout town." Sebastian smiled as he helped ciel out of his night clothes

Ciel barely blushed as he walked slowly to the bathtub, hoping he won't slip again like he has been when he gets out.

Ciel sat in the bathtub and watched sebastian roll his sleeves up.  He bent down on one knee and lathered the soap on his hands.  "Are you alright with this? I don't want you uncomfortable...."

"Yes~" he gulped a bit nervous and afraid Sebastian might drown him again. He cleared his throat a couple times and squirmed a bit in the tub, trying to his weakness of fear and nervous feeling.

Sebastian soap up his hair.  He couldn't help but make those silly hair strands stand up like a cat.

Ciel sighed and gave up on telling Sebastian to stop, now that he thought about it...it is kind of funny when he does that. A little smile creeps up on him as he hides his small chuckle.

Sebastian scrubbed ciel clean.  He didn't say anything as he washed his master. He waited for his master to do the talking. The loss of his aunt is terrible, even if she did try to kill him.  He wondered if his master will show weakness and cry.

Ciel sighed, "pity...such a pity that makes me want to laugh. The last family member I had left....dead." he chuckled.

"I don't think they will appericate laugther at the wake.  I do believe she was murdered by what seemed to be an impossible creature.. an angel." He scrubed gently around his ankles.  "Now what would an angel want with her? The late madam red had a mark on her neck. It probably means nothing....." he grins, knowing ciel he was going be curious.
