{♔}— Ciel cringed at the thought of living with Elizabeth. It wasn’t that he hated her or anything, he just wasn’t fond of the idea of living with her. But Ciel knew he wasn’t going to live long enough for that to actually happen. He doubted he’d make it through one more year, let alone something so far off. Closing his eyes as if to block out anything the girl was saying, he silently nodded his head.

His eyes shot open as one of the butlers interrupted whatever she was rambling on about now, and he took one of the tea cups off of the tray. Instead of focusing on Lizzy, he mostly focused on the tea he had in his hands. “The scent is weak for Earl Grey.” He spoke quietly, before sitting it down on the coffee table in front of them. What a waste of Earl Grey…. Oh. And apparently Lady Elizabeth continued pouting as she was before. Raising a brow, he glanced from the cup and looked straight ahead towards to female. “You’re still going on? Tch. I didn’t know proper ladies were allowed to be so whiny.” He said with a small but playful grin, sure this would either make her even more angry, or change the topic. He was hoping for the latter.

[elegantmidford]

♡- { Lizzy quickly stifled her own sobs, narrowing her eyes at Ciel. "Whiny? I-.." Her cheeks reddened with embarrassment and slight anger. "I am not whiny!" She argued, lips pursed and chin held up.

"D-do you really think I'm whiny...?" Elizabeth asked, her tone taking a complete one-eighty. "I'm sorry.. I really don't mean to be! I just really, really love you, Ciel, and I want to spend all my time that I can with you!" She paused for a moment to take in a long breath. "And sometimes I think that you don't really care about me as much as I think.."

Going into yet another mood swing, a wide grin crept upon her face. "Oh, but that can't be true, right? Silly me! With my broad imagination and such! See, this is why you must come and see me more often. When I'm alone, it gives me time to make up these crazy things in my head!" }

{♔}— “E-eh?!” Ciel stood there as the blonde tightly wrapped her arms around him tightly, eyes widening and mouth opened as if he was about to yell- Though he stopped himself. Elizabeth had always been one to cry easily. Certainly, you’d think he’d be used to this by now.

He nodded, remembering the nickname. “Tch, right.” Ciel nodded, knowing it was doubtful that he’d remember to call her that next time. Oh well. Cringing at the thought of more surprised visits, the earl quickly shook his head. “I think you do enough of those already, Elizabeth.” He stated, letting the girl drag him over to the living area. It was best to let her have her fun while she could. Thinking for a moment, he shook his head slowly once more. “I believe you paid a visit not even a week ago.” He took a seat on one of the cushioned chairs, before shrugging his shoulders upward lightly. “Besides, I don’t have much to tell you at all. I’m merely here for the fact that Sebastian is drawing names up on a list for a case, and I had nothing better to do.”

[elegantmidford]

♡- { Folding her gloved hands over satin-covered legs, Elizabeth settled down on the couch opposite of Ciel. "Yes, I know, but I really don't believe visiting you once a week is enough. We're going to be living together soon enough, after all!" She chimed, a light giggle escaping her lips. "Anyways, as I was saying, once a week is not enough. I feel as if you hardly even make an effort to come and see me." Lizzy pouted.

"No worries though! None at all! I know how busy you can be most of the time, and I admire your hardworking personality, I really do!" The blonde assured him.

"I just-... It'd be nice if you made time for me sometimes.." Lizzy muttered. An interruption from one of the butlers quickly brought her back into her cheery mood. The tray was set down on the table between them, and she offered the butler a thankful smirk. "I recall you having a liking towards Earl Grey, so I made sure that the butlers know to make that when you come for visits!" She stated proudly, grabbing one of the cups and taking the tiniest of sips. "You were only here because you had nothing better to do..?" She put down the cup, a melancholy expression forming on her face. "Oh, Ciel! You're so mean to me sometimes! You never come to see me just because you want to!" }

{♔}— “Ah. Good evening, Elizabeth.” He offers a small bow, before raising his head up high. He nods, with a slight shrug of his shoulders to the idea of tea. “Very well then. Although, I don’t plan on staying here very long.”

[elegantmidford]

♡- { Lizzy grinned widely at the boy standing opposite to her. "Ciel! My darling Ciel!" She squealed, grabbing her fiancee and pulling him in for a hug.

"How many times have I told you to call my Lizzy?!" Elizabeth finally loosened her grip on Ciel. "I really wish you could stay a little while longer.." She pouted, green orbs filling with disappointment. "But, I understand your busy schedule. Still, you should really stop being such a stranger! Any day without you feels like a century. I must make surprise visits to your home more often, but Mother says that it's rude to show up so suddenly." Lizzy mused. "Ah, but yes! The tea!" With the snap of her fingers, a butler lingering in the shadows quickly went to make a fresh pot of tea. In one swift movement, the blonde scooped up Ciel's arm from his side and forcefully led him to the living area. "I feel like it has been ages since the last time we spoke. I'm sure you have a few things to discuss with me!" }

The male’s eyes followed the girl’s gaze at what seemed to change her mind on staying or leaving and coming again. His eyes landed on a girl, which he assumed from her outfit was probably her maid. He looked even more amused now, and found the young lady’s consideration on someone who was of lower social status. It was rare, but it was nice to witness such hints of kindness coming from nobles.

Luca grinned “My name is Jim, my lady” he replied and kindly pulled back a chair, holding it for her to sit “Would you like to sit, or rather take a tour around?” he asked with a kinds smile “And, may I ask your name as well?” he added, even if he was perfectly aware of what her name was. His own name of course wasn’t the real one, but it was truth that he had been using it for more years than his actual one, which turned out it wasn’t actually a lie when he was having people address to him with this name after all. He would start using his old one, if he ever managed to find the real Jim.

“Libraries are good” he commented on her mention of not stepping into libraries for too long. It was a chance to learn what people did with their time if they didn’t read “I don’t see how people cannot love books… I love them. But maybe it’s just me. I just can’t understand how time passes if you don’t get absorbed into them… Although I suppose people have busy lives and can’t always bring themselves to find time for reading” he concluded, trying to make it so that he didn’t sound like he was insulting her, but still phrase his question through it “I’m sorry I’m bumbling” he noted in the end and sighed, finally stopping to talk looking rather embarassed with himself.

[elegantmidford]

♡- { Elizabeth nodded, yet another smile forming upon her pale red lips. It was difficult not to be amused by the boy's chipper aura. "It's truly a pleasure to meet you, Jim!" She piped, holding out a hand for him to shake. "My name is Lady Elizabeth Midford." She paused to perform a small curtsy, something her mother had taught her to do for strangers at extravagant parties. Such formality was something that should not have been reserved for a commoner, but the blonde assumed that it was the best thing to do. Jim had been nothing but nice to her, after all. It only made sense that she should treat him with an equal amount of respect. "But please, call me Lizzy!" She stated, the conventionality in her initial introduction quickly diminishing.

 "Yes, I do agree that libraries are quite interesting. There's just.. so much to take in. I don't have much free time due to my school work and other duties as a young noble, but the free time I do have is usually spent with my fiancee. Oh, you would just adore him, Jim! He's one of the cutest boy's you'll ever meet and I love him with every fiber in my body!" Lizzy gushed, not being able to control her flow of words whenever she began to speak about Ciel. "I assume you know of the Funtom Company, yes? Well, my little Ciel owns it! Isn't that just the most wonderful thing?" She sighed a bit too dreamily. "It's quite alright, I suppose I'm bumbling now too." Lizzy giggled.

 "Books are truly fascinating. It's quite odd though once you think about their concept. Someone's mind was incredible enough to invent their own universe where we, as the readers, can only dream about living in! I don't read that much, but I think if I had a little more time on my hands, I'd come here more often! Especially to see you! I've probably said this a handful of times by now, but you really are too adorable!". Elizabeth's weakness for cute things was always quite apparent.  }

Luca beamed brightly at her comment about him being cute, and his ears matched the colour of his hair. It was one thing getting compliment, but even bigger getting it from a dazzling girl, and a noble one no less. The boy knew from experience that nobles were only sweet or fake-sweet with other nobles, as they had to keep up good manners and image, while they weren’t exactly kind to the lower classes. So unless she said it the same way she would say it for an animal (which he doubted was the case) it was a pleasant thing to hear.

“Why thank you my lady!” he called out to her “If I may, and you are an extremely appealing young woman. You look like a princess” he bowed lightly and chuckled, dashing around “And of course we have it! What kind of library would we be if we didn’t have Pride and Prejudice?” he said, as if it was the most unthinkable thing. Which actually was the case for him. Luca had only learned how to read and write the short while he had passed under Vincent Phantomhive’ wing. Getting educated was actually his reward for doing the nobleman’s chores, and he also gave him clothes, food and a place to live. He had been a very fair boss. Either way, he used his job as an opportunity to get better at reading and writing, so he had become very good. His vocabulary had also become richer, and he had made sure to note the ‘highlight’ titles.

“No no! I will get it for you” he hurried to reassure her, always taking his job too seriously. He scanned the tables and finally located it, under the nose of a man, who seemed absorbed. He groaned low and walked back to the girl’s side “I found it” he announced to her “I apologize, apparently it’s being used. I could hit him and take him, but that could cause for me to lose my job” he stated, joining his hands in front of his lap apologetically “You can wait, or I can keep it for you if you come and take it later. If I could possible help you by any other means, I would be glad to be of help”

[elegantmidford]

♡- { "You're quite welcome!" Lizzy chirped. At his next words, her cheeks flushed with the faintest shade of pink. No matter who the man may be, it was always embarrassing (but definitely flattering) to receive a compliment from a gentleman. "Kya~! You're too adorable for words!" Gloved hands giddily covered her rosy cheeks. "Oh, and my apologies then. I rarely go to the library. In fact, I don't recall the last time I've ever seen this many books in one place." The blonde mused. 

 The girl shifted her weight from one foot to the other, patiently waiting for the return of the boy who had been so helpful to her during her short time at the library. She was greeted by him once more, but the news he brought was not what she had hoped for. Still, there was nothing she could do to change it. Lizzy planned on getting her assignment done within the next few days, so she would not have to worry about franticly searching for the book at the last minute, but it would not be so bad waiting a few extra days to start reading it. "I see... Well, I do not know how long the person using the book will be in possession of it, so maybe it'd be best to-" She cut herself short when the always bubbly Paula caught her eye. The young woman was pulling books out from their shelves left in right, slowly tracing her fingers across their spines before putting them back in their place. Her maid was quite the odd character, and most likely someone that Lizzy would never fully understand.

 Lizzy sighed, absentmindedly running a finger through the single strand of hair that reached over her face. "It'd be best to wait here, yes!" She decided not to cut Paula's fun short, she deserved it. "May I ask for your name, young man?" Elizabeth questioned, tilting her head and offering a smile. }

Luca had heard the sound of the girl’s heels hitting the stone floor, and he had in mind to raise his eyes and see if she needed any help, but apparently he had reached a crucial part where the protagonist of his book was hanging from a tower. Of course he didn’t take more than a second to snap his eyes away from the pages as soon as a voice addressed to him, and was obviously asking for some help through the papers.

The boy’s eyebrows shot up at the sight of the girl that looked more like a porcelain doll than an actual person. Of course her outfit wasn’t much unusual for ladies at her age and obvious social status, but they rarely ever stepped in here, and even fewer of them had such a hairstyle. Most of them would bind their hair in more tactful ways. Although at a second glance, after he had categorized her as the least the daughter of a noble family in the matter of seconds, it occurred to him she looked relatively familiar.

A bright and amused smile appeared onto his face as his eyes shined “Of course, miss” he said and rose to his feet “Pride and Prejudice you say?” he asked politely and looked around “That was basic, I certainly tidied it yesterday” he commented, more to himself rather than her “If you may follow me, or wait here” he told her with a sweet smile “I’ll find it right away” he turned and rushed across the shelves, skipping them in a way that obviously showed that he knew exactly where he was going, even if the library looked like a labyrinth to someone who wasn’t used to it.

The amusement was still there, as Luca climbed onto a wooden staircase, to look onto the higher shelves. It had been four years, but Luca didn’t have difficulty to pinpoint the younger Phantomhives’ dethroned. She hadn’t changed too much, and she still had those exquisite curly pigtails, which remained fluffy all of the time. He remembered her as an adorable little girl, and as it seemed she was growing to an elegant young woman. Yet another beautiful lady decorating the side of the queen’s watchdog.

Luca hadn’t seen much of Rachel Phantomhive, but he certainly had found her sister prettier, but it was only his opinion. As for Miss Elizabeth, she was spending a lot of time with the Phantomhive son at the garden, so he had seen her from afar a lot of times. He wondered if she was as joyful as she used to be. From what he had heard from the current Phantomhive Earl though, he certainly wasn’t what he used to be.

The boy growled low and pouted “They moved it again. We hardly have anyone today, how did they find it?” he sighed and jumped to the floor “Excuse me, I will go check if someone has taken it. If it’s not borrowed I will make sure to find it” he reassured the girl, as he walked back close to her and bowed lightly before starting to run downstairs, to check the list of the books that had been rented. Luca himself had mentioned to their boss that they should have more copies of a few books that were needed a lot, but he kept disagreeing that they were a library and not a bookstore, and needed place for more books, than having a single one multiple times. It turned out that the book wasn’t taken out, which meant the little redhead had to seek it out, and he was certainly doomed if it had got randomly placed to a shelf where it didn’t belong.

He hoped young Miss Midford was more patient than most noblemen that stepped in there, which were both rude and impatient in getting things over with. It was really troublesome sometimes.

[elegantmidford]

♡- {  Lizzy examined the boy closely, her expression softened when his sweet tone rang through her ears. He couldn't have been any older than the noble, maybe thirteen at the very most. His seemingly naive vibe and innocent appearance were just two of the many things she took in. He was eccentric, that was for sure. Besides Madame Red, Elizabeth could not recall a single other person she met wit such vibrant hair. The boy standing in front of her was truly stunning, to say the least. A charming, young face like his was something you rarely saw on a commoner. 

 "Yes, I need it for an assignment given to me by my tutor." She explained in her signature, cheerful tone. Though hard to believe, her assumption about him working at the library was in fact correct. She didn't know much about the life of a working-class citizen, but the blonde couldn't imagine having a professional job at such a young age. "So you have it then? Splendid! And might I add that you're just the cutest thing I've ever seen!" Lizzy piped, quickly shuffling her feet to keep up with the energetic entity who climbed up the wooden staircase that creaked in protest. She watched him closely and waited for him to return with the needed book in his hands.

 Lizzy let out a lighthearted giggle at his somewhat frustrated statement. "Oh! No worries, then. I'm in no rush at all, so please take your time and make sure to look as throughly as you can." She nodded, returning his bow with a halfhearted curtsy. His polite attitude was something that was almost impossible to fawn over, that was for sure. It was nice to know that at least some of the commoner children in town were being taught manners by their parents. "If it's not here, I'll just have to come again another day, I suppose.." Elizabeth mused. }

[elegantmidford]

HI Lizzie! i do also Like Ciel but you can keep him so becuse you two are gonna get married....but yea i Also like CIel....

♡- { "Ah, hello there!" She grinned before tilting her head a bit to the side. Another smile formed on her face before she spoke up once more. "I understand. Ciel is quite handsome! But he's all mine!" She giggled, making sure to put emphasis on her final sentence. }

@ elegantmidford // When the wind is in the East

The central library of London wasn’t always crowded. Someone could say that it was days up and days down. Luca couldn’t quite grasp this concept on the days of silence, while he walked through the stalls, tidying up things and placing books on their rightful place, after some careless visitor decided to put it back, but didn’t care to check the title.

The boy couldn’t understand why there were even days that the building was so quiet. Actually, being a library, it was always quiet. But it was easy to understand when there were people in, and when they weren’t. The flipping pages, the scribbling, the sounds of the shifting chairs, and moving big packs of books, all created a tactful noise that traveled through the corridors during busy days.  It didn’t occur to him how so few people needed this place. They probably had no idea what it was.

Days like this he didn’t have many people to help out, supervise or tidy, so he simply sat and enjoyed a book choice of his own. Of course he remained willing to help out people if he was called upon or in case someone seemed like they needed help (he could figure them out from the lost and desperate looks they gave on the dozens of books), so until it seemed like he was needed by any chance, he sat to a side, reading a book.

[elegantmidford]

♡- { Lizzy sat idly in the carriage, occasionally making sudden jerking movements due to the roughness of the road. Her eyes flickered from the window to her maid, who imitated the girl's quiet demeanor until her young mistress spoke first. "Paula? Have you ever read the book we're going to be getting from the library today?" The blonde inquired, green orbs fixated on the young woman who immediately sprang to life at the sound of Lizzy's voice. "Pride and Prejudice? Ah, yes! It's a very good read, I'm sure you'll enjoy it." Paula piped in her usual, cheery manner. Lizzy sighed quite audibly before returning her gaze back to the moving scenery on the right side of her. 

 School was something that never bothered Lizzy. She wasn't the most studious, but she did fairly well in all of her subjects. Just like any other girl her age though, she enjoyed having small breaks from it. Her mini-vacation from learning was starting today, but that did not stop her private teacher from giving her a reading assignment to complete during the break. Lizzy would have to read the book, Pride and Prejudice, and be prepared to have an open discussion with her tutor about it when school returned. It was not something that the noble was looking forward to, but complaining about it seemed rather pointless.

 The carriage came to an abrupt stop, signaling that the two had arrived at their destination. "Unless you want to look around, you may wait here, Paula" Elizabeth assured her before exiting the carriage on her own. Paula was not only her beloved maid, but she also acted as the girl's security blanket. Traveling without Paula was always an experience that felt rather odd to Lizzy. She adored her maid dearly, and considered her a best friend of some sort. Being busy with her studies, fencing practice, and other duties as a noble, Lizzy rarely had time to truly get acquainted with other girls her age. She never really considered the people she met at parties her friends, but she assumed that was the closest she would ever get to other young ladies.

 Rather than waiting, Paula scurried to catch up with Elizabeth, only to disperse once they reached the doors of the library. Lizzy knew how much Paula loved to read (she was one of the very few servants the Midfords had who actually received a decent education), so depriving her of the chance to take a look around the library would seem awfully cruel.

 Lizzy's eyes widened in awe, absorbing the vast amount of books which almost seemed infinite to the mere human eye. Even if a person did not appreciate literature, they could not deny the beauty of a library, which contained an endless supply of knowledge. She could not remember the last time she stepped into a library though, so finding her way around would be somewhat of a challenge. Most likely, she'd have to ask for help from one of the workers. Besides Paula, the only person she could spot was a young boy with a vivid hair color. Could he by any chance be the person who is currently running the place?

 "E-excuse me?" She hesitantly approached the boy, who seemed to have his nose in a book. "I'm looking for a certain book, Pride and Prejudice, do you think you could help me?" Lizzy asked. Even if he was not someone who worked here, he looked like the type of person that hung around the place often, but that was only judging by the fact that he looked so engrossed in the novel he had in his possession. }
