[Below sea level it is for Sebastian Michaelis, for once Sebastian accepts the cane, Ciel's rounding his form and starts ordering him around in his fairly stern "shut up and just do what I say, you ridiculous creature" tone of voice.]
You're injured. We're unsure of why. Sebastian, you're the first [and last] line of defense I have here in this infernal place, I cannot allow you to wallow around on the floor while there may be an enemy at hand. Now are you going to work with me here, or do I need to conk you over the head with my firearm?
[Ultimatum relayed, small hands start pushing at Sebastian's back from behind, trying to leverage the taller demon up.]
