[Ciel's tone is more courteous than usual as he cuts his fluffy crepe into properly sized pieces, mmm-ing every so often as he chews delicately. Somehow, today's fare is better than yesterday's, even if they're still stuck in this infernal place. He can't remember why he was so displeased with everything, why Sebastian's glacial pace at forging them an escape route had bothered him so much. It's as if Ciel's never been tortured at all.
The tea is exquisitely steeped, and Sebastian's face isn't as irritating as usual. Perhaps he got a tan?]
Later that day;
[If you're wandering past the park, you'll run into the strangest of sights: Ciel frolicking and doing picnic-y things with one Sebastian Michaelis. That's right, kind folks, your eyes have not deceived you.
Sebastian is actually taking a break.
Maybe they're holding hands and spinning in a circle. Or Ciel is half-skipping through the grassy knolls, or running full tilt out of the ~dangerous~ forest with no visible person chasing him. Or they're both settled on a checkered blanket, Sebastian telling his Young Lord a most fascinating tale before rushing off to fetch him a little something or other, leaving Ciel to bask in the warm sun while studying the board game set in front of him.
Rarer still is the occasional sound of Ciel's slightly creepy yet genuinely happy laugh, interspersed throughout these events. A result of one of Sebastian's morbid jokes perhaps?]
*both Ciel and Sebastian are affected by the candy feels event replay, Dark Green.
