42 [Accidental Video]

[flameandpassion]

[Rei is in the kitchen, which isn't strictly unusual, as Usagi tops her into cooking her favorite things eats a lot of food and, therefore, someone must cook it... but what Rei is doing in the kitchen is something of a sight.

Her hands are covered in a thick, dark, sticky liquid and she looks like she's inches away from throwing the pot in front of her on the floor in a fit of frustration. The counter-top is covered with various cookbooks, what remains of their sugar stores, a heap of dark powder, and a thermometer.

There is a gooey pile to her right of 'failed attempts' at whatever the hell she's attempting to do.

She is stirring the pot almost viciously -- until something within the pot causes Hino Rei's patience to snap.]

Ugh, this is the dumbest tradition ever! Who thought this was a good idea!?

[The PCD shuts off before Rei has a chance to throw something at it.]

I see. You just don't want to be too forward. But I'm sure he feels close to you.

[hisbutler_bound]

Again, I cannot speak on my master's behalf, it would be rude to express what he feels and doesn't feel.

[buntails.livejournal.com]

I guess I didn't think of it that way.

[hisbutler_bound]

I am his servant. He guides me much like a chess piece. I do not guide him nor lead him. As a servant I am there to move at every pull or command.

[buntails.livejournal.com]

[Only Usagi would actually believe that.]

But that can't be all there is to it. It'd be like, me telling the senshi what to do all of the time just because I'm their leader. We support each other because we're friends.

[hisbutler_bound]

Is it hard to believe that in fact that is all there is to it? I am his servant. He is my master. He provides and I accept.

[buntails.livejournal.com]

But it doesn't seem that way from how you treat each other.

[hisbutler_bound]

With trust and respect? I trust him to lead without hesitation and I respect him as my master.

[buntails.livejournal.com]

But you care about him, too, don't you?

[hisbutler_bound]

I care for him as his butler.

[buntails.livejournal.com]

That's not what I meant.

[hisbutler_bound]

Pardon me if I am dashing your ideals.

[If anything he is possessive of his meal and the only thing he is attracted to or cares about is the soul within Ciel]

[buntails.livejournal.com]

You're not. Even if you don't say it, it's obvious.

[hisbutler_bound]

[Oh Usagi. Why so thick? He's evil and a demon. Yes, Ciel is unique from those he's eaten before but still. EVIL HERE]

As you wish.

[She says it. It is true.]

... where on earth did you get such a ridiculous idea?

Re: [Video]

[buntails.livejournal.com]

From how you treat each other.

[Video]

[other-sights.livejournal.com]

And how would that be?

Re: [Video]

[buntails.livejournal.com]

Like people who care for each other.

[Silence, for a moment. This information could be oddly valuable, though he isn't sure quite how to apply it... yet. That she could mistake Sebastian and his relationship for any form of emotional attachment...]

Specifically. What makes you think that?

Re: [Video]

[buntails.livejournal.com]

How you treat each other.

[She is hopelessly unanalytical, Ciel. You know this by now.]

[Video]

[other-sights.livejournal.com]

[He really, really should. Instead, he just puts his fingers to his forehead a moment.]

Sebastian does not care for me, nor do I feel an especial attachment to him.

Re: [Video]

[buntails.livejournal.com]

I don't really believe that.

[other-sights.livejournal.com]

Forming an emotional attachment to the one who will eventually kill me...

[He chuckles, and it's not pleasant. Not in the least.]
