Video † Regrets

[thebutler_epic]

[Sebastian appeared on the screen of the Dreamberry, illuminated by the light of a candle. He is standing outside a door in the hallway of the Phantomhive mansion. He bows solemnly in greeting, as much as he can while supporting the phone]

Good evening.

I'm afraid I must send my regrets, on behalf of my young Master. I know he has a number of outstanding engagements at present. Unfortunately, he shall not be able to attend.

Please accept my humble apologies. You may direct any responses or inquiries through me.

I will be sure to relay them to my Master. [Chuckle]

I bid you a good evening.

That sounded like a mildly suspicious laugh, there.

[chainsawofdeath.livejournal.com]

Ah, my beautiful Sebby~ ♥ Now that you don't have to tend to that little brat, you can spend more time with me!!!

[madcuriosity.livejournal.com]

Is he alright Sebastian?

[thebutler-epic.livejournal.com]

I believe it's called a "sleep coma". He's been asleep since Friday afternoon.

[thebutler-epic.livejournal.com]

Did it, now?

Oh, dear.

[thebutler-epic.livejournal.com]

My work doesn't end simply because he sleeps.

Oh dear... sleep comas are such odd things. It can last a weekend or a month!

[She offers Sebastian a smile.]

Re: [Video]

[thebutler-epic.livejournal.com]

Can I help you?

[thebutler-epic.livejournal.com]

Yes. My young Master was interested in divulging a pattern in the sleep comas, but they seem to be random and unpredictable.

[mistrustbeauty.livejournal.com]

Huh. You're not particularly convincing, you know.

So what's your relationship with this "master" of yours? And should I be making sure he's not about to get ripped to shreds or something?

[thebutler-epic.livejournal.com]

{Chuckle} Don't be silly.

I am Sebastian, the Phantomhive butler. As for my young Master, I will be by his side until the end.

[mistrustbeauty.livejournal.com]

Oh, well... I guess I'm just careful. Glad I misunderstood the situation, though. I'm Maia.

[thebutler-epic.livejournal.com]

[Well, he is hungry for Ciel's soul, but thaaaaaat is neither here nor there]

A pleasure to meet you. [Bows to the screen]

[mistrustbeauty.livejournal.com]

I'm not exactly "bowing" material [she tilts her head to the side] but thanks anyway.

[she's not sure yet if she's pleased to meet Sebastian; the verdict's still out on that. at least she doesn't think he's ridiculously handsome, though, or else she'd have already stopped talking to him. but something is pinging her supernatural senses, though she can't tell what through the camera screen]

[thebutler-epic.livejournal.com]

And why do you think you're unworthy of a polite greeting?

[madcuriosity.livejournal.com]

Oh dear... I hope it's not a sickness.

[mistrustbeauty.livejournal.com]

Isn't bowing excessively polite? I've always thought of bowing as something one did to royalty, and I'm pretty glad I'm not that.

[thebutler-epic.livejournal.com]

Oh, no. Bowing is fairly commonplace. It's simple respect towards any guest, and quite natural according to Phantomhive hospitality.

[mistrustbeauty.livejournal.com]

Oh... well, I'm not used to it, but-- thanks.

[and she attempts a bow in return, only much more awkward-looking, but she tried.]

[rises-from-ash.livejournal.com]

[She mimics Sebastian's mouth.]

[thebutler-epic.livejournal.com]

You are not familiar with my Lord then, madame?

[mistrustbeauty.livejournal.com]

I can't say that I am.

[thebutler-epic.livejournal.com]

That's unfortunate.

But then, he doesn't go out often.

[mistrustbeauty.livejournal.com]

Should I know him? What's he like?

[thebutler-epic.livejournal.com]

Would you like to come to tea, when he is well?

[thebutler-epic.livejournal.com]

Ah, yes. The thought had crossed my mind.

[madcuriosity.livejournal.com]

Oh dear...

[chainsawofdeath.livejournal.com]

Well, it should~!!! I am much more important than that child!!!

[thebutler-epic.livejournal.com]

I see.

[Glances offhandedly at his pocket watch, then continues in a dispassionate voice]

Oh, dear. I'm afraid I simply don't have the time to indulge your delusions to discuss this at length.

[chainsawofdeath.livejournal.com]

O-Oh... Well, I will have to come visit you when you aren't busy~ ♥

[thebutler-epic.livejournal.com]

[Heh. That would be the 15th of never, Grell. Don't hold your breath]

If it pleases you.

Good day.
