[ 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.]
