[Snow White does as Ciel's note asks of her, her own animal friends always in tow because when were they not? She smiled at the younger boy.]

What did you want to show me, Ciel?

[cieled]

(He is careful not to move too quickly - lest he spook his feathered friend.)

She has been keeping me company most of the morning. (The young robin fluffs herself up upon seeing Snow White, letting out a song.)

[Action]

[onebadapple]

Oh! Why Ciel, she's precious! Why hello there! [Snow White holds out her hand to the robin, but she won't be upset if the little bird doesn't come to her.]

And she's been with you all morning? Well, you're more than welcome to stay here. [She assured the little bird.] But I don't think I could get you to leave even so! [She giggled.]

[Action]

I thought you would like her. (The robin fluffs her wings and hops onto Snow White's hand; she is a soft, fragile and trusting weight. Ciel brushes a finger down her back.)

She started out above my head. I thought to read outside today, but she soon became far more interesting than my book.

Ciel, I like everyone and every creature! [She giggled, lightly tapping the robin on her beak before gently shooing her back to Ciel.]

Well, she's welcome to stay as long as she likes. I'm sure the other birds will help her if she has any questions when we're not around.

I think I could try your patience on that subject. (If he wanted to. As it stands, he likes living with her and the robin is the cherry on top.)

She will likely only want food and fresh water. (Oh and Ciel, apparently. She snuggles right up to his cheek.)

[onebadapple]

Oh, you silly goose. [She lightly bopped him on the nose.] You could try but you wouldn't succeed!

And what about you? Are you hungry too? It is early after all!

(He flushes darkly, at a loss for words. Momentarily.) I would not be so confident. I can be a royal brat - or so I am told.

(His stomach rumbles in answer.) A little.

[Action]

[onebadapple]

Oh goodness! What a thing to say! I don't think you could be a brat at all! Whoever told you such a thing must not have gotten to see how sweet you can be. After all, a little robin wouldn't befriend just anyone.

(It's terribly hard to argue when a bird is nestled against your cheek.)

I cannot be anything but gracious to my beautiful host.

(He is young, but he must not seem it.)

[Action]

[onebadapple]

Oh goodness! You flatterer you! Anyone would have taken you in when they knew what was going on! No one your age should live alone. [Says the girl only a few years older than him.]

[Action]

[cieled]

I am fully capable of - (He flushes and fights with his pride, but common sense wins out.) I'm appreciative. I suppose I don't like living alone.

[Action]

[onebadapple]

Oh, I hate living alone. Being left all alone is one of the saddest feelings, especially so when you're surrounded by people.

[Action]

[cieled]

Did that happen to you - ? (He blinks, surprised, and focuses on her face.)

[Action]

[onebadapple]

It's alright, ever since I left, I've never been lonely since, not with the dwarfs and certainly not here! [She quickly brushes the matter aside, or at least attempts to, never fond of talking about her past.]
