[He may be a little eager if a promotion means one step closer to socking it to the CDC for being here, but still. Baby steps. Cold, calculating baby steps.]
FROM: phantomhive.ciel@cdc.org Off of what do they base the promotions?
FROM: phantomhive.ciel@cdc.org I doubt they would tell me then.
[Interesting. So there's no telling what he'll have to do to get a leg in the door. Are they looking for leadership material, or is it random to see who will last? He hates not having a basis to work on.]
[He was just saying that to scare him; a healthy dose of fear is good when some of them can potentially eat you. As if Ciel needs more of that in his life.]

That is very true. Especially if one was a good actor, hm?

I considered letting you die so I could take your place.
FROM: phantomhive.ciel@cdc.org
But it would make the unit look bad if we allowed the leader to die.
such a charming child
How fortunate that you did not, then. As they say, with great power comes great responsibility.

And I don't believe you're quite ready to deal with our instructors on a face-to-face basis.

I could deal with it just fine.

Really? After your act with the Skellie, I'm not so certain.

You've been spoiled by your demon's acquiescence to take a human form.
no subject
Don't be ridiculous.
[He remembers what Sebastian looked like before being a "human." Terrifying. But is a demon really scarier than fellow humans trying to sacrifice you?

Said like someone who does not fully grasp their situation. What about beings that have no eyes, but can sense you regardless?

That isn't terribly unnatural. Blind people are similar.

Perhaps. In any case, I do hope you are placed in a permanent position on Naga. I would be honored to have you within our ranks.

I would only accept the opportunity if it benefited me!
no subject

Then I should take every opportunity to show you that it would.
no subject

I already know that.

Sorry, my intention wasn't to embarrass you.
[Maybe it kind of was.]
FROM: wurstel.ferdinand@cdc.org
Of course, the decision will ultimately not be mine. Or at least, not at this time.
no subject
I'm not embarrassed!!
FROM: phantomhive.ciel@cdc.org
I am not over-eager for a promotion!

That is a good attitude to have, in all honesty. You only just arrived.

Off of what do they base the promotions?
no subject
You would have to ask the instructors that question. Their criteria is a mystery to me as well.
no subject
I doubt they would tell me then.

Perhaps. They are difficult to figure out at times, but they are not unapproachable.
no subject
FROM: phantomhive.ciel@cdc.org
If they told, then just anyone could ask, and then just anyone could model themselves to get the position.
[Like him. :)]
FROM: phantomhive.ciel@cdc.org
They wouldn't tell something like that so openly.

On that note, I'll stop bothering you. I apologize for taking up more time than a simple thank you should have entailed.
no subject
If there's something you should know about me, Mr. Wurstel, it's that I don't waste my time.
FROM: phantomhive.ciel@cdc.org
Your thanks was unneeded, but not unappreciated.
no subject
I'll be sure to keep that in mind in the future. Until then.
