[When Ciel appears on the screen, he look far from pleased -- his expression, noteably more sour than usual, is emphasized by the slightly unkempt hair that makes him look as though he's just rolled out of bed. The kid apparenlty is also incapable of dressing himself; his shirt is buttoned crooked, and his thin bow tie, is more of a knot than a

Oh, blimey. You need a shower and morning tea.

[dealwithademon]

That should have been taken care of hours ago, but I'm afraid I haven't the faintest idea where Sebastian keeps the tea. [He's not about to admit he couldn't even boil water if he tried]

[abitoverhalf]

Probably not just walking around, then. There's a possibility... [ mysterious disappearances and all.. ]

[dealwithademon]

Are you suggesting he may have... vanished? [Not impossible. Elizabeth did. But Sebastian... it's different. isn't it?]

[kakkoii_kyou]

[What's this? Deja vu]

Earl Phantomhive. [Bows in greeting]

Your servant is missing?

[dealwithademon]

I just said that, didn't it? [A heavy sigh.] I woke much later than usual this morning, and the curtains hadn't even been drawn.

[kakkoii_kyou]

I see.

Is it possible he went out?

[dealwithademon]

It's unlike him, though not out of the question. What is unusual, is that he's not answered any of my calls. [Oh, you might think he's talking about phone calls...]

[tofairypark]

Butler? [Suu looks appropriately confused.]

[dealwithademon]

Yes, my Butler. Surely you'd know one if you saw one.

[tofairypark]

I'm not sure. I don't know if I've ever seen one.

[dealwithademon]

. . .[Eyebrow raise. Strange girl.] They're servants.

[suppressedtime]

[Sharon won't comment on his appearance. She was in a similar state before.]

Have you considered the possibility that Sebastian has momentarily left Somarium, Young Master Phanthomhive?

[dealwithademon]

[Pause. For a second, he looks less an irritated mess, and more a confused child]

Left Somarium? [That confusion quickly turns into something... more fiery.] That couldn't possibly-- Why should he be lifted from this cursed place, and I left behind. Absolutely not! I won't have it!

[suppressedtime]

[Her expression softens. Oh Ciel, she was in the exact same boat.]

I understand your sentiments. I truly do. However there is reason to believe that he may come back within a few days time.

In which case, might you need any... assistance, Young Master Phanthomhive?

[dealwithademon]

A few days -- what would make you say that? Many have taken leave of this place and never returned. Elizabe-- [he stops short. As much as he would not have openly admitted it, he misses Elizabeth still. she did not return after a mere few days. Nor did Madam Red... It's better that way, but even so...] ...Even if he's gone from here, what reason have I to believe he'd return.

[zerointegrity]

[Ciel, meet Lelouch.]

How fortunate you must be to have had a butler, of all things, in Somarium! [A pause] Has the possibility of his leaving Somarium occurred to you? Check the Dreamberry, see if his name is still listed in the contacts.

[dealwithademon]

[Hello Lelouch. Sorry, this isn't the best time for good first impressions]

It's not fortune, it's business. And he couldn't possibly have-- [he fumbles with the phone, starts searching through it... and then the color seems to drain from his face]

[zerointegrity]

[He raises an eyebrow, the boy's reaction exactly what he was expecting.]

Did he?

[dealwithademon]

This can't-- [He seems more confused than anything else now. like, genuine confusion at how this is even possible]
