"Well, you asked me put you down, so I put you down and because we are here."

Looking around in bewilderment, she realized that they were in a spacious room that seems to be a study.  The sides of the study were up with shelves of books and there was a large window behind a big desk with piles of papers sitting on it behind her. Snapping her head to the butler, she scampered to stand and rubbed her still sore butt.

"Okay, that's fast...And by the way, you didn't 'put' me down, you dropped me and my butt still hurts, you bastard."

Sebastian sighed and said sternly.

"Again...Language."

'Che. You are annoying. Enough with that already, do I seriously look like a lady to you?" She said in a bored tone and rolled her eyes. Folding her arms, she stared at him with a look of boredom and drawled, "....And so, where's your master?"

Her eyes widened when an unfamiliar voice replied.

"Here."

She snapped her head towards the direction of the voice to see a boy that looked at about her age, leaning against the frame of the door with his hands clasped together on a cane, behind Sebastian, with a cold and serious look plastered on his face. Hair with a unique hair color of the mix of teal and black framed his handsome porcelain-looking face but an eye-patch on his right eye which was a mismatch to his left violet blue eye ruined the perfection. He was clad in a button-down shirt with a black jacket worn on the outside and black shorts with knee-high black gartered socks and boots.

"Good morning, Young Master." Sebastian turned to the boy with a bow. The boy only grunted as a response before strolling past them to sit down behind the study desk.

When he settled down on the leather chair behind the desk, he spoke again.

"Sebastian, bring us some tea."

With an utter of "Yes, my lord", Sebastian bowed and moved to the door. Before he was about to step out, he paused and turned to the girl that still stood there watching him, with a smirk, "Oh and by the way, I only take orders from my master, as you can see.", before closing the door behind him.  The girl snorted and rolled her eyes at the door before turning to the boy sitting at the desk behind her.

"Bring that over and sit down." He jutted his chin towards an expensive-looking chair sitting at the corner of the room. Starting towards the chair, she lifted it up and carried it over to the other side of study desk, opposite him before settling down on it.

Once she settled down, she looked up to see the boy resting his head on the knuckles of one hand, studying her with an emotionless face.

Ciel

His visible eye followed the girl as she carried the chair over to opposite him and his eye moved to study her face when she plopped down on it. Her hair was a fiery shade of red; it adorned her creamy porcelain-like face as it trailed down to her chest. A bunch of hair, her fringe, hung across her forehead. Her straight delicate-looking nose was well matched with her high cheekbones and her full lips looks soft and pinkish but it also looked a little chapped. The one that caught his attention were her eyes. Her eyes, framed by long lashes, were a mesmerizing color of ice blue. However, the one thing about them that caught his attention was their resemblance to his own.

Studying her from between his fingers, he sighed and leaned forward to prop his elbows onto the desk. Clasping his hands together, he leaned in to rest his chin on it while his eyes still fixed onto hers.  Violet blue to ice blue as the girl slumped on the chair stared back, not wavering from Ciel's intense gaze. She then cocked an eyebrow at him.
