[[Tee~hee Sebastian does not like Devina.]]

A good excuse to be a bad influence on you
The tempter sealing my fate

Devina growled at Sereena, before turning to the man in the clad black suit. "...Speak. I don;t have all- oh wait, I do, since I was so rudely awoken. Just...get on with it."
Sebastian glared coldly at the ground, before clearing his throat and motioning towards his young master. "You and I both know, sir, that Lizzy has passed away and obviously this means your engagement to her is no longer possible. But, miss...Cobalt, you also lost an engaged...fiance." He tried to find the correct words that the young... lady would understand. He wasn't surprised when she snapped towards him. "Don't play dumb with me. Use fancy terms, I don't care. And my...fiance was quite the bore. Anyway, continue ?"
Sebastian nodded, taking a step forward. "Your mother, Sereena and I have come to an agreement. As you both are fine rulers of your industries, we have come to a conclusion. And as you are in the same position, it makes it even easier for us." He concluded, now turning a bit so he faced both children. "Ciel, Devina, you are are engaged."
Devina was almost immediete to react. She at first had a confused look, before she laughed it off with a simple wave of her hand. "Good joke, sir. Really got me there for a second. So what's the real issue ?" When she saw his expresion- a serious smirk with eyes narrowed the slightest, she felt herself draw back abit. Shaking her head, she turned to Sereena. "This man is joking, right ?"

Bard made a motion to silent the others outside in the hall with him. He, Mae-Rin, Finny, and the younger servants of the house had their ears pressed against the doubles doors. One- the younger cook, Gale- had his eye in the keyhole, watching. "Oooh, this is getting good." He teased, getting a smack from Bard.
"Quiet ! You'll alert Sebastian. Now shut up and watch." He scolded, pressing his ear to the door once more.

Mei Rin listened quietly. She gave a quiet giggle with finny following.
Sereena smirked. "no joke" she sang. She tried to hold in laughter. Ciel's eyes widened "no way in h*ll" he muttered coldly. His visible eyed showed disbelief and a mixture of anger. He glared at sebastian then at Devina. "why didn't you ask for my opinion in this?" he snapped.

(sorry i don't really do a good job for Ciel -_-' )

[[It's fine- you're doing your best. What I do is I usually study the scenes focusing completely on that character or even read a few single-character fanfics. It helps me get a better grasp. But you're doing just fine.]]

"You... can't be serious." Devina argued, standing and turning to Sereena. "I know women, and especially females my age have no decisions in marriage, but this ?! This is outrageous- and you." She turned to glare coldly at Ciel, her intense hazel gaze matching his single visible optic. "I had no part in this. If anything, I would have killed you on the spot at the crime scene- which thanks to your hound I lost the criminal ! Thanks for that. Now Queen Victoria thinks I'm not worthy to be her servant. Ugh ! Sereena, call it off. I demand you do." She challanged, daring to try and look Ciel directly in the eye.

Sebastian sighed, giving a small shake of his head. "I apologize, master, and Devina, but this cannot be undone. This is final. And don't get the idea of killing each other either- that'd be quite the hassle." He gave a teasing wink, before glancing at Devina. "Unless..." He looked at the shadows. "You want your brothers to-"
"NO !" She exclaimed, her voice dripping with malice, and the slightest bit of fright from the idea of Sebastian getting anywhere near her brothers. "Just...no. If... Mother aranged it, I'll go with it. But just so all of you know, I'm doing this for her and my brothers. Are we clear ?"

(you think so? ill try and thanks ^^ oh my! almost forgot about Sereena's pet)

Sereena gave a slight smirk. "you don't have to like him, you'll just have to go along with it though" She whispered in her mistress's ear. Just as she stepped back, a rare silver hawk landed on her shoulder. Sereena jumped slightly in shock and sighed in relief. "Hari you scared me" Sereena muttered referring to her hawk. Sereena smirked, her mistress usually hated her pet bird. Hari gave a quiet screech. "aww you cute little thing" Sereena smiled and patted her bird on the head.

Ciel Sighed in anger, this girl's lucky that she has a parent. Ciel glanced at the landing bird in surprise and raised an eyebrow. 'this is stupid'
he thought, but i suppose i'll have to go along with it. Ciel sighed as he closed his eyes trying to calm down, as soon as he did his eyes fluttered open.

Devina took her seat, crossing one leg over the other the best she could. She rested her cheek on her knuckles, her elbow on the chair's armrest. Blinking boredly, she realizied her mentally unstable mother, in the shadows, was laughing maniacally. "...Sereena. Get Gale. I'm 'hungry'... And my falcon is so much more intimidatign than your... finch, Hari." She taunted her butler, intertwining her free hand with a peice of string that stuck out of the chair.

Sebastian looked at the bird- hawk who Sereena referred to as Hari. "...Is this really the appropraite time ? May... speak with you in the hallway, Sereena ?" He asked, in his usual reserved, caged tone of his. He crossed one arm over his stomach, the other near his side.

Sereena raised an eyebrow at sebastian confused but nodded. On the way she told gale of her mistress's hunger. Hari tilted his head, he flew back into the room and perched on the window. "what is it sebastian?" Sereena asked curiously.

Ciel sighed and sat on the other chair. His visible eye trailed to the direction of the laugh. He raised an eyebrow and looked back at Devina silently.

Sebastian thought for a moment, putting his words in the proper order inside his head. "I have an... experiment I'd like to try. Or a few. Why don't we try leaving them in the room alone for a few moments," Them being the engaged couple. "To see if they get along better with us not in the room ? And, like her mother suggested," Her being Miss Devina Cobalt. "Find activities they both... excell in, like Devina with archery, and see if they grow closer over the course of those ?"


Devina gave the smallest sigh, looking back to Ciel. Her expression was not as critical as it was when Sereena was in the room, infact, she wore a friendly smile as she motioned to the woman on the other side of the room. "...Mother is a bit... unstable.. Oh, Gale, good morning." She greeted her loyal cook, who was just over twelve years of her own age.
The oddly young attractive cook gave a bow to his mistress and a nod to Ciel. "...The cake ?" He questioned, knwoing the younger female would understand.
"Yes, please, Gale. If it isn't too much of a problem." Devina replied, looking at her cook with a pleased expression.
"It is never a problem to put you in a sugar-sweet mood." Her cook leaned over and squeezed her cheek, earning a slap to his hand.
"Just get the cake."
Gale pouted, rubbing his hand. "Ouch, Devvy. Ouch." He quickly moved out of her range of hitting, and looked at Ciel. "...Would...you like anything..?"

Sereena lightly chuckled. "okay then" She said nodding. "what do you wanna do while they 'bond?'" Sereena asked, hoping to do something besides spying on the two. She leaned against a wall. Her hawk flew back onto her shoulder. He gave a small screech. "hari shh" She shushed him.

Ciel raised an eyebrow then smiled, yes he smiled. "if it is all right with you, i'd like a piece of cake" Ciel said smirking. He couldn't really turn down sweets. Ciel leaned back into the chair, he didn't really have breakfast anyways.

Sebastian pondered the thought over for a moment. "Hmm. I'm not sure. Well... I do not know very much about you or your mistress' past. So if you could plase explain the best you could ?" he began, before noticing Gale walk out. The boy nodded to Sebastian, who smiled a cat-like smile.
"...And about your servants."

Gale nodded, leaving the room.
Devina looked at Ciel, her smile widening. "If you like sponge cake, you will love Gale's special recipe. He adds honey and fresh fruit from the garden and sometimes cinnamon. He adds something else, but I can't figure out what." She began, thinking of the delicous cake her young cook always made. "...Do I see a smile ?" She taunted, eyes glinting as she looked him over.
