[Ciel's misgivings seem to be confirmed with Sebastian's ironic arrival. Despite everything he has seen, he finds himself staring at the journal blankly for a long while. Sebastian might be able to hear his hitched breathing.]
Where have you been? [His voice is laced with a number of emotions. On the surface, Sebastian can probably hear pain, anger, resentment and bitterness. Part of Ciel understands that Sebastian was probably still alive, but the fact that Sebastian never told him is hard to swallow. Their Master/Servant relationship has been thrown off-balance.]
I could tell you a few things about the magic that inhabits the city, but, first, I would like to know more about you. As for me, my name is Vanyel Ashkevron and I have only been a resident of the city for a short time. Even so, I have been able to use my Mage gifts to my advantage.
[Here, he pauses, taking a breath.]
I have not seen the one you speak of, but you will find that this city is much larger than it seems on first glance.
It is a pleasure to meet you, sir. Is there some question you have for me, concerning your 'Mage gifts'? Very few people have the inclination to speak with a butler with such...earnestness, upon first meeting.
I sense a great power within you. I hope that you don't plan on causing trouble in the city. If you do, I'm afraid we will meet in an undesirable manner.
If you are able to sense great power, surely you know that other great powers reside here? I hardly think someone such as I would be your first concern, especially after just recently arriving.

General craziness, I guess. From stupid stuff like free ice cream to large scale battles.
