[one tart left, huh? - ciel really is small, but everyone is small compared to oswald. even jack is cut short a few inches (maybe three or four), but ciel is tiny beside him and oswald knows he can't dislike him.
he can't trust him either. that's a given for everyone here, though ciel's words when he finishes have impact.
sweetly, slowly, he looks at ciel and smiles. it's a far cry from what he could conjure up once before thanks to - to someone, someones, people he can't remember, but it's genuine and oswald could glow. he had dug his own hole by not knowing which path to follow and he's done the same thing here, but oswald is aware of what he'll choose in the end.
in the end, that might just okay. ciel's words ease the pain in his head caused by trying to remember enough for him to speak.]
- Lacie is my younger sister.
[just in case jack hadn't mentioned it. but, lacie isn't gone yet. he hasn't wiped her existence away in his time or cast her into the abyss; she's still under his palm with that smile on her face that he'll never wipe from his memory.]
