[Oh, of course Sebastian would warn him against getting into trouble. Afraid your little crock-pot meal is going to be ruined by the twisted hands of plant people?
Ciel hides the dark smile on his lips by keeping his head turned away and burying his mouth in the back of his hand. He does quite enjoy making Sebastian work for it, he thinks, for his soul. It comes at the price of pain, sure, but if it makes Sebastian suffer, well...] I'll consider it.
[Which is to say, he will be out meeting the natives and exploring the coastline with Tsuna. Godspeed.] Perhaps you should just get better at traveling long distances.
I can't control what happens on this planet. [The smile is gone when he turns his head to look back at Sebastian.] I told you to always protect me, so if you don't even do that here.... [What kind of Phantomhive butler are you?]
[ He's set the chicken aside to cool before he packages it up, and for once, he doesn't try and hide the displeasure on his face. It's the sort of upset that makes it clear that Ciel is pushing against Sebastian in a way he disapproves of, which may be satisfying, but there's also the danger of him snapping back in the face of it. ]
Nor can I, young master.
[ His voice is cool and controlled, but he cants his head lightly as he looks at Ciel. ]
But I need not remind you what I will do to prevent your demise. You may find those means distasteful, however, so I hope I should not have to displease you so.
[The look on his face is horrifyingly blank, but the look in his eye is what could eat the rust right off a piece of metal. With how his jaw is set, it's obvious that his teeth are gritted behind his lips.
If there's two things he doesn't want to hear, one is that Sebastian may not be able to get to him in time; the second is that Sebastian is willing to do something utterly ludicrous to ensure his survival.
As usual, he's the first to give up the game. It's not that he doesn't have anything to say, but rather, he doesn't want to hear what Sebastian has to say once he's said it.
So he jerks his head away, then rolls himself across the bed until he's on his side and his back is given to the demon.]
[ Sebastian relaxes, though this time he at least doesn't gloat, which is surely a small blessing. He stares at Ciel's back for a moment, but then turns back to his work, starting another set of chicken on frying lightly. His voice is cool and respectful when he speaks again, all of that hard edge completely out of his voice by now. ]
Would you like for me to stay until you fall asleep, young master?
No. [Because he can act like a complete tittybaby when he's scorned.
Not that Sebastian probably minds be relieved from such a duty. Ciel is just stubborn, and he will suffer in silence behind the noise-canceling curtain since he would rather do so than ever ask Sebastian to stay with him after that.
It's just times like these Ciel realizes Sebastian is truly a demon and not a caretaker... not that Ciel ever forgets.] Leave when you're finished.
Understood. I am nearly finished, so I will pack everything up and store it for you.
[ He sighs a little, since he knows Ciel is buttmad, but at least he's used to that, for one, and two, he also knows it's his fault. He can't exactly object because of that. ]
I will likely be gone before you wake, so... Do take care, young master. And sleep well.
[Look, so long as they aren't discussing heavy ethics, and so long as Sebastian isn't being a passive-aggressive piece of trash, Ciel can... probably go to sleep before the demon finishes up.
It turns out he can.
While he's not use to hearing the noise of a kitchen when he sleeps, he is use to hearing Sebastian tinkering in the morning with the cart, or tinkering in general somewhere nearby. The cooking does little to phase him and, if anything, it gives him some focus aside from his thoughts, and Rover 10 uses Sleep! It's super effective!
He is gone without having even gotten under the covers or pulled the curtain closed. Look how much care he is taking already, Sebastian.]
