There Is A Dinner Party Right Across The Hall

[littlest_lord]

Who: Phancyhive and invited/close CR!
When: Wednesday Evening for supper
Where: Phancyhive
Summary: With so many new additions to the household, it's only proper to welcome them with a dinner party.
Warnings: A bunch of crazy people around a dinner table. What could possibly go wrong?

<sub>[Ciel hated parties. Really, he did. They were an unbearable drudgery of having to socialize but he could manage to endure for one night. It was expected of him to host such an event, what with the new additions to the household, so despite his desire to lock himself away in his office, he'd been dressed in lovely clothes and had the whole thing arranged.

The dining room itself was decorated exquisitely and the food that had been set out was unbearably tempting to anyone who'd glance upon it. Hopefully, the whole night wouldn't be an ordeal. The last thing needed was more stress.]</sub>

Not really, but I'll need to clean up...

[All these plates. Heh.]

[motioned]

Oh, gosh, do you need some help with that? I could bring him something really quick and then come back! If he doesn't come down himself, I guess.

[retraced]

Ah - no! I can take care of it myself! You have school tomorrow, right? So you should go to bed early.

[motioned]

It seems like a lot to take care of on your own.

[retraced]

[He glances back over the table.]

It'll take a while - [He'll admit to that.] - but it's my responsibility. I don't mind.

[motioned]

Are Claude and Hannah going to help you, at least?

[retraced]

Probably.

[He can't say for sure, but they usually do.]

[motioned]

Maybe it won't take too long, in that case.

[retraced]

I'm sure it won't, there's no need to worry. I'm sure I won't sleep anyhow.

[motioned]

You won't sleep? Why not?

[retraced]

[Scratching the side of his neck.]

Too many things on my mind? Something like that.

[motioned]

Maybe you should see a doctor about that!

[retraced]

[Misunderstanding.]

How is a doctor supposed to help me to not think...?

[motioned]

I mean for the sleeping thing! He might be able to help with that.

[retraced]

Oh. Well...I've never needed much sleep to begin with, so it shouldn't be a problem at all.

[motioned]

Are you sure? Sleep is healthy!

[retraced]

I'm healthy!

[Stress stomachaches and issues with his Chain aside.]

[motioned]

Well, yeah, but sleep would make you even more healthy!

[retraced]

But so much time is wasted when you're asleep...

[motioned]

Is that why you haven't been sleeping?

[retraced]

No?

[He thinks...]

[motioned]

Dad.

[retraced]

[Ignoring and drinking tea.............]

[motioned]

Don't ignore me!

[retraced]

Did you get enough to eat?

[He's not ignoring, see!]
