♚ meeting.

[pactum]

Who: Ciel, Amane, Sebastian, Katsu
Where: Phantomhive Manor (aka Speculum House #2)
When: Backdated to the 24th
Style: Either!
Status: Closed

As agreed upon, it's one o'clock. Ciel waits in the parlor of his home, passing time by playing chess with himself. Sebastian will bring the refreshments when the guests arrive, as is proper. Truthfully, despite being informed of the situation and having conversed briefly with Amane, Ciel has very little idea what to expect. It isn't a feeling he enjoys, going into a situation blind. Still, it can't be helped.

When today is over, he'll have all the information he needs with regards to his current situation--and have reached a suitable agreement. He's sure of it. For now, he'll be waiting right where he is for Sebastian to answer the door.

He nods, staying silent by his master's side with eyes reminiscent of a crow surveying a vast field in the hopes of finding prey. His manner never changes through the entire thing: a silent witness suffice to say, to the discussion being held. His glance shifts from the priestess to the boy at times. Beneath it all, beneath that mortal facade, he could sense the aura brimming from within that seemingly fragile mortal shell. He was indeed who he clamied to be, despite the fact this demon had never heard of such a title back in the day.

Perhaps times were changing while he was away. But then Katsu didn't at all seem from the same time he'd left.

Amane, however was a completely different story entirely. She had been the reason for his interest, truth be told. Jezebel. A name he hadn't heard in a while. Of course, he would wait until all this was over to report his findings.

"I see." Their explanation confirms what Sebastian had reported to him. Not that he suspected that Sebastian had lied to him--he can't do that--but his butler has a rather bad habit of keeping crucial information from him unless he asks for it directly. But it seems that this time, at least, Sebastian had been thorough.

After another bite of yokan--yellow, this time--he continues, "I can think of no reason why I would wish harm on this city or those in it." Unless, of course, by some strange stroke of luck, those responsible for his torture are here; but unlikely as it is, that might be a bit too much to ask. "As such, this agreement stands with my approval." And if it has Ciel's approval, Amane and Katsu can be assured that Sebastian won't be breaking it.

...well, not unless Ciel decides that it is in his own best interests to do so. But as things are currently, that wouldn't be beneficial.

"Is that all the three of you discussed previously?" Just sipping his tea, now.

That was not all. Other than the city's safety, they also talked about demons and contracts.

"We also discussed about contracts." A s way of saying it, considering what it means to them all. She take a sip of her tea, watching Ciel and Sebastian before continuing. "Demon contracts."

[angelphones]

Katsu nods. Perhaps he should go into more detail.

"In our world, summoning was made very easy by my -" He looks over at Amane before looking back at Ciel and continuing. "My cousin. For a time, all someone had to do was activate a program on an altered game system... hang on." He rummages in his pockets and pulls out his COMP. "This one doesn't work anymore, but the first time I activated it, a demon came out and I had to defeat it to form a contract."
