Very expensive. Very hard to clean. Very, very pleasing to soil.

Looking satisfied, Ciel nodded. "The meal: Acceptable."

This at least meant he could acknowledge Sebastian's talents, but still there was a suspicion as he said it. It was known right away that retaliation could only be the result, but how? The instigator of this secret war was a question that had never needed asking, as there was only one that would be senseless enough to disrupt a potential truce in the works. On the other hand, perhaps this might bring the two beings to a mutual understanding with enough familiarization.

Returning to the meal, Ciel nodded dismissively for Sebastian so that he might bring a proper pot of tea back.
