[Sebastian wasn't entirely used to waking up in foreign places. He was rather good at keeping track of where he was and how he got there, but not today. None of what he was seeing looked or felt familiar. For a second he felt a spark of relief. He might finally have some space to-

No. He could feel it. Ciel was here. And he wasn't the only one. He eyes the device he is holding carefully before speaking in to it.]

Pardon me, but would someone so kindly inform me of my whereabouts?

[A pause.]

And if anyone could direct me to one Ciel Phantomhive it would be much appreciated.

[Sickly sweet, the words came. Oh how he wanted to just turn the other direction and run until he couldn't anymore. But he felt a certain obnoxious demon in the area as well and he needed to make sure either of them weren't doing anything particularly stupid.

Assuming you didn't fail to do so yourself. You have poor ethics, Faustus.

[He accompanies these words with the most polite smile.]

Worry not, I do not intend to keep him waiting. Nor do I intend to leave his side.

I arrived before you did, had I not...?

[ He wasn't one for smiling, man. Instead, back to the old poker face. ]

As I have no intention of leaving my master's.

[ A breath, of what seems to be frustration but that momentary chink in the armor is barely noticed. ]

However, as we seem to be under one roof... Dare I say I'm looking forward to working closely alongside you, Sebastian. No doubt this will be... enlightening.

[The fact that you even smiled at all gave him a small sense of satisfaction. He so easily broke that cool and collected exterior.]

Lovely.

[He can't help but smile a little wider at the sound.]

I hope you know I do not intend to pick up any pupils during my time here.

[ Hey, you'd be frustrated too if all your plans just kinda exploded in your face and--

wait. ]

I doubt you'd make a proper educator at any rate.

[ Besides, if anyone's gonna be breaking here, it's definitely not this spider. That smile pisses him off but, nope. Still as calm as a placid lake. For pete's sake. How can you still manage to smile?! This situation's brutal. ]

Now, will you be needing any assistance in finding the manor or should I just leave a window open?

[Ha. Ha. Ha.]

For one such as yourself? I'm sure I wouldn't.

[You can be as calm and placid as you'd like now Claude, you weren't five minutes ago and that was just the spark Sebastian needed to get out of his 'going to murder your charge brutally' mindset. At least for the moment.]

Oh how kind of you. I assure you that I am not directionally challenged. You shouldn't project your insecurities onto other people Faustus. It is unbecoming.

There's nothing more to be learned from you.

[ Hey, get back in that mindset. He might need your help for that. ]

When one redirects an insecurity as another's, one can't help but wonder just where that denial of self stems from.

[ A beat. ]

Merely an observation, Michaelis. At any rate, it would be improper not to show a measure of a welcome to a... colleague.
