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>

[SIGH.]

I already said yes, remember?

[retraced]

[Yeah, he does.]

Did I...?

[motioned]

Yes.

[retraced]

Hm.

[...He stands up to grab a spoon and put more vegetables on her plate, then. :|]

[motioned]

H-Hey, I said I got enough!

[retraced]

If you get to lecture me about being healthier then I get to do the same to you.

[EAT MORE.]

[motioned]

Eating more won't make me healthier! Isn't overeating bad?

[retraced]

[Blink.]

...It's vegetables.

[Those can't be bad for you, right?]

[motioned]

Yeah, but I'm already full!

[retraced]

[He doesn't end up putting very much on her plate, and just sort of...ends up dropping the spoon back into the bowl in the center of the table after a second with a resigned sigh.]

Sorry. [He shakes his head.] But don't worry. I promise that I sleep more than enough.

[motioned]

Why are you apologizing?

[retraced]

For trying to make you eat more, when you're already full.

[He wants to have the last word! But he doesn't want to make her sick in the process.]

[motioned]

It's not like you knew I was full at first!

[retraced]

I still feel bad about it.

[motioned]

Why?

[retraced]

Because I was wrong. Shouldn't I apologize for that?

[motioned]

Not if you didn't know any better.

[retraced]

...You're too kind to me, you know.

[motioned]

[She frowns for a moment before smiling, leaning forward and

flicking him on the nose.]

[retraced]

Hey!

[He takes it back!! Actually he just pouts and rubs at his nose.]

[motioned]

There's no such thing as being too kind, you know.

[retraced]

[There is when it comes to a selfish person like me who doesn't deserve it.

Is what he thinks and does not say.

Instead, he just smiles at her and leans over to ruffle her hair, letting his hand linger on the top of her head.]

Thank you.

[motioned]

[And she blinks in surprise before smiling warmly up at him.]

You're welcome.

[retraced]

[He's still smiling as he drops his hand and moves to pick up both of their plates.]

I should start cleaning up. Are you too full for dessert?

[motioned]

Well... I guess I could have just a little piece of pie.
