Oh yes, I know he's gone. Sebastian never missed a single day of work at the bakery without telling me why first.

Ciel, will you be alright?

[Text]

[cieled]

You needn't worry about me.

(Except...you should worry about him. He is fumbling as he attempts to live by himself.)

I thought my company would not be unwelcome?

[Text]

[onebadapple]

Oh, of course I'm worried about you. I know Sebastian meant quite a lot to you and you meant a lot to him.

Your company is never unwelcomed.

(That is a laughable thing to say, but he doesn't want to tell her - or anyone - the truth. Guilt and fear keep him from going that far.)

Everything is too quiet in his absence. I didn't think I would ever say that.

Might I visit?

[onebadapple]

You're... you're not living all by yourself, are you?

Oh, of course, you can visit! And you can stay as long as you like... even several days... or weeks, or months if you need?

What other choice do I have? (He frowns a little, shifting uncomfortably.) I would be an imposition if I stayed that long.

You can live with me! In fact, I insist you live with me, Apple, and Elsa! And I will drag you here myself if I must, Ciel.

You are not to live alone.

(He will pretend that her offer isn't a huge relief. Play it cool, Ciel. Play it cool.)

I have no desire to anger a lady. If you are sure...

[Text]

[onebadapple]

I am absolutely sure! I won't have it any other way.

[Text]

[cieled]

I will begin packing in that case. Thank you, Your Majesty.

I'll come by with my animal friends and we can help you move in one trip!

[Text]

[cieled]

Ah...

On that point, I should tell you, I am allergic to cats.

[Text]

[onebadapple]

Oh, well that's alright, I don't have any! Though a bob cat and mountain lion do come to visit every once and a great while, but they're very solitary creatures.

[Text]

[cieled]

I have not been around a bobcat or a mountain lion. All I know is domestic cats can cause me a lot of trouble.

[Text]

[onebadapple]

Well, don't you worry about a thing, I'll make sure you aren't visited by any cats. And I'll let the girls know too in case they adopt one. But I'll speak with every cat about leaving you be. The last thing we want is for something to happen to you.

Can you truly speak to animals? I had a pet dog once. He was a large wolfhound. (And he didn't have the best relationship with him.) I suppose he was a good guard.

[Text]

[onebadapple]

Mmhmm! I most certainly can! I'm sure there's some animals I can't speak to, but I haven't met them yet.
