"Hey, reaper. I'm glad we never talk." — @cxgedbeasts
She had to twirl around and peer downwards a little to spy that little brat, her eyes immediately narrowing. This was not a face she looked forward to seeing.
❝So how come there are words coming out of that little mouth of yours right now? Hmm?❞ she challenged him, whacking a finger at the Earl. Dealing with children truly had not been part of the job description…
❝If you want to get information out of me in regards to this case, my answer is no. Try to come again when you’ve learned how to talk to a lady.❞ With that, she turned away from the boy again, minding her own business. The business being the lass dying in the middle of the street in front of them.
So much for the pleasure of not talking. To Grell’s defense, it had been the Earl that had opened his mouth first time - a rare occurrence in itself. To his annoyance, the reaper took the bait, and shook her finger right at the tip of Ciel’s nose. He scowled and moved her hand away.
“You are doing your job, and I’m doing mine,” he stated simply, hoping that it would be enough to spare him from the smalltalk with this infuriating person.
“Such strange deaths must be an annoyance to the Dispatch too, musn’t they? I’m not asking for cooperation, but for you to simply step out of the way so I can finish my work here. You have collected the victim’s soul already, have you not? Get gone.”
Why was it that Sebastian was already lingering behind when Ciel would have preferred to sit back and let the impudent butler do the talking?
