The tea salon was filled with a fair amount of passengers. Most of them were dressed in daily attire, the outfits they were clad in, were bland in my taste. It was at night when the dinner partys were held that everyone was sure to dress up in extravagent clothing.

I was sat at the opisite end of the table from Ciel. He was currently stirring the liquid in his cup gently with the silver spoon he held in his fingers. I watched him as he did so, probably more entertained by such a simple act than I should have been. Really everything Ciel did faciniated me beyond my imagination. Even by the smallest things, such as stirring his tea which he was doing now.

I'm really no better than the other noble girls my age who gaze apon Ciel in admiration. I do the same thing. I still to this day wonder how on earth I became as lucky as to have Ciel as a betrothed.  It's so common you see other nobles my age dull and uncaring about their engagement, and as I can understand that for them wanting to explore for a new love, I dont relate. I've already discovered my love without even trying.

He sat just infront of me, his eye now gazing at me in curiosity.

"Elizabeth, is there something on my face? If not, you know it's impolite to stare." He said blankly. A routine voice he saved especially for me, the hint of irritation painting his tone along with the equal amount of politness.

I simply shook my head with a fond smile staying put across my happy lips. "Not at all. Your face is adorable just as always!" I chirped.

Ciel grew tense at my words, his shoulders posturing so they sat more straight beside him. He grinned nervously, his teeth visible in between his lips. "Right- thank you for the compliment.." He trailed off. I believe he was still slightly puzzled as to why I had been staring at him but decided to drop the issue. If he were to ask again, the answer would be obvious though.

"Because why not gaze at you? Your not only adorable- but beautiful. Im so used to staring at all this cuteness, I want- no I need to gaze apon something as gorgous as you. In my book your the one person who differs from adorable with your extreme beauty."

.... But he never did ask again, so that reply will forever be lost within everything else I wish so dearly to tell him. He continued on with his stirring, his tea being well mixed by now, he just needed something to occupy his time with. It was fairly obvious he was bored. It was written over every pretty aspect of his porcelain face.

The golden rays of the bright morning sun cascaded through the curtains of the surrounding windows, the light perfectly accenting Ciel. His blue eye having a small shine in the corner, the dark blue color raised a shade to a lighter tone. No shadows of his position outlined neither side of him. He was sat in the sun surrounded by not even an inch of darkness.

Such a wonderful sight to witness. Bright and radiant, I even notice the eyes of others placed apon Ciel. Who could blame them? Even without speaking, Ciel is so charismatic. Ciels perfect.

He breathed out a soft sigh, once again catching my spaced out attention.

"Listen- Lizzy. I need to ask a favor of you."

I'll do anything you ask.

"Yes, of course! What is it Ciel?"

"As much as I wanted to come here to spend time with you, of course.. Ive come for bussiness as well." He placed his spoon back down onto the napkin just beside his cup, the remaining liquid creating damp drops in the white fabric.

"Oh? Your not saying you've been sent here for bussiness, are you? Please dont! We were having such a marvolous time-" despite the complete and utter silence drifting from the two of us "- It would figure though.. The campania is a splendid voyage it wouldnt be the worst business desision to research it. But I really would rather you focus on me other than some silly work!"

"No- Elizabeth, your not hearing me. It isnt business per say. More of a-"

"Chance to get some time alone?" I interupted, it wasnt a polite interuption either. I was growing emotional. Emotional from the stupid assumptions that kept popping into my head unwanted and unwelcomed. "I just wanted to spend some time with you, but if you'd rather be alone then go ahead!" I whined in a child like manor. I could feel my eyes burn up with tears.

Yes.. I'm completely over exaggerating, but for some reason I cant knock that into my puny emotional state.

"Lizzy! Settle down and let me finish for crying out loud!" He snapped abupltly through my fit of tears. I gasped, raising my gloved hands to hold the ends of my eyes. I nodded, pouting softly.

"Its-..." He suddenly halted in his words, as if something was just dropped inside of him. I could tell he was biting his gums in thought. His eyes creeping to stare at his side for a moment, just before returning to create contact with mines once again. "Its nothing. You were right- I had planned to come alone, but from what I see so far I would much rather spend that time catching up and spending some quality time with you."

Wow- I really wanted to believe that. I REALLY did. But I know ciel, I know when he isn't telling the truth. Unfortunately this was him concealing the truth from me. I was curious now as to what was bothering him.. But from what I can see so far he wasnt thrilled about sharing it with me. Perhaps I should allow him to keep it to himself, then he can feel more comfortable.

So instead of revealing my concern I nodded and rescued my tears with my usual content and happy smile.

"Really? You mean it? Thats wonderful! Im thrilled to be given this time with you!!"
