ronderotarel[A big living room can be seen through the camera. A huge, lavishly decorated Christmas tree takes half of the space in the room, and other Christmas decorations are placed on every single other piece of furniture. There are small golder cherub statues, candy canes, huge wreaths and Santa-shaped candles.
Scattered all over the floor there are dozens and dozens of presents. Some are wrapped up in brightly-colored gift paper, others aren't. There are toys of every kind. Mechanical toys, plush dragons, a huge train toy set, toy castles, lincoln logs, toy soldiers and more.
On the table, looking quite glorious, there is an enormous chocolate birthday cake with seven little candles on top. Sitting on a nearby chair is Alois Trancy, pink-cheeked and looking quite pleased. He's wearing a new soft red coat, new stockings with intricated lace patterns, and new high-heeled ribboned boots.
He used Ciel's money to pay for all of this.]
Today it's Luca's birthday! You can come over to say happy birthday, but you can't touch the cake because it's all his. [He giggles happily.] I also decorated the whole Manor for Christmas because I know Ciel secretly wanted to, even though he said he didn't. [He gets distracted by something and the camera shifts. There are weird noises in the background but his voice can still be heard.] Luca! Come open your presents, I have a special one for you!

It isn't in his blood to notice it unless there's something wrong with it, or there's none left.

Date: 2011-12-23 12:20 am (UTC)Well it's in my blood to care about my servants. [Unless they are female. In which case he'd only want to poke their eyes out. But that's not Gilbert's case, and Alois is still giving him that angel smile for now.] And I'm happy you work here. I really am. [He really is!]

[ He stares at Alois' face for a moment. ]
Were you expecting someone different?

What was your butler like?

And what is the... Earl's butler like? He mentioned one. I suppose I should... do my best to reproduce his service.

Date: 2011-12-23 11:08 pm (UTC)[ But he has the sense to say that softly. Little boy, that's quite a bit much.
And unlike Break, the most Gil learned about diplomacy was to keep someone's ire in the realm of very, very hopeful neutrality. ]
Was there anything he did for the Earl specifically? I'm afraid the head of the house doesn't speak about himself often.

Date: 2011-12-23 11:33 pm (UTC)I... see.
[ No, he doesn't. His hand comes down to pat Alois's head lightly in, but even he knows the gesture's more awkwardness and kindness. The Earl doesn't want the boy listened to, but looked after and... instructed.
Better to treat him as if he's an unruly pet, then, a pet who acts out. ]
Thank you. You've been of help.

We'll trade. I'll leave them be, if you behave for the earl.

Where is it? We'll need to have it washed.
[ The plural, Alois. You are not the Earl. ]
I'll count on you to teach your brother how to play with it carefully.
