There Is A Dinner Party Right Across The Hall

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?

[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.]

That has nothing to do with it!

[Not a dress etc etc.]

You- you idiot!

[He raises his hand to whack Break, but-! Look at all that blood and mess. He drops his hand and just kind of... nudges disapprovingly.]

Mmmm... Hypocrite.

[ Exhaustion and pain are taking over. He closes his eye. ]

You're the one always telling me off... for making people worry...
jokesonthem: (what's over here)

[personal profile] jokesonthem 2012-09-25 12:10 am (UTC)(link)
You do make people worry. Especially when you shouldn't!

[Oh is he going to pass out again. Reim stands up.

A thoughtful pause.]


What should I tell Lady Sharon?
maddeninghatter: (out cold)

[ HE'S UP! His eye springs open and he sits up, waving his hands frantically. }

Don't tell her anything!
jokesonthem: (pen!!!!)

[personal profile] jokesonthem 2012-09-25 12:36 am (UTC)(link)
[That's... broad...]

She was there, Xerxes. She deserves to know you're alright.

[He wishes he had his notebook to fuss with right now!]

I'll keep her out of your hair until you're cleaned up.

[personal profile] maddeninghatter 2012-09-25 12:45 am (UTC)(link)
I--

Fine. Tell her the eye didn't take, and I'm all right. But just... just... leave out the part where I...

[ ...wept over you in front of everybody? Break waves indistinctly, as it that makes his point clear. It's not nearly as effective a gesture with a closely-fitting jacket. ]

Er. Cleaned up. Right.

[ He'd been too shocked when it happened, too shocked and too much in pain and then too grateful, too happy to notice it, but now... shame is starting to set in.

He thumbs at the buttons of this jacket, which offends him now as much for its tightness as the fact that it's no doubt stained with blood, and starts to shrug it off. ]

[Well, Reim certainly understands the gesture anyway, with or without the floppy sleeve.]

Sure. She doesn't need to know the rest.

[It kind of embarrasses him, too, his incredible obliviousness. Sharon is caught up- she doesn't think anyone's dead, so it's fine. Surely, this is the best possible way of dealing with the Sharon Issue.

He watches Break pull at buttons, considering the relative grossness of everything on him.]


I can take that with me. [...and hand it off to Gilbert!]
maddeninghatter: (pffft!)

[personal profile] maddeninghatter 2012-09-25 01:35 am (UTC)(link)
...

[ Thank you, Reim. ]

It was... too tight, anyway~!

[ Arranging his features into a petulant expression, he balls up the jacket and hands it to Reim. ]
jokesonthem: (break you're the worst)

[personal profile] jokesonthem 2012-09-25 01:44 am (UTC)(link)
It looked fine.

[Like a real grown-up. Reim shifts the jacket so that the bloodiest parts are concealed in the middle and tucks it under his arm.]

Do you need anything else...?
maddeninghatter: (PJs)

[personal profile] maddeninghatter 2012-09-25 05:11 am (UTC)(link)
Nope! That's all.

[ He's very far from "cleaned up," but taking off his jacket seems to be as far as he's going to move in that direction.

He turns his back on Reim. He bats at his pillow, fluffing it up. ]


Just...

[Another little wave of guilt passes over him, but briefly. This might take some time; certainly he hasn't apologized nearly enough, for weeks of despair instead of hours, but. For now.

He gives a noncommittal murmur (what does one say in this situation, "oh yes me too"?) and heads for the door. As he's about to leave he looks back at Break for a preemptive chiding:]


Get some rest!

[--and he's off.]
