#3 A Gir'l Laugh
Sage glared at the blue headed boy in front of her. She hated being wrong and what Ciel just stated made her stop in her tracks and think. "I've been in town multiple times before. In this place people barley notice someone walking around in a hooded cloak. Besides, I could be asking you the same thing 'toy maker'." She said, smirking when she saw him crinkle his nose at the comment. "I'm not just a toy maker! I'm known in this town as the Queen's watchdog. I'm respected by most people here!And I'm not going to stand by and let you disgrace my name." He said, venom dripping from his words. Sage was a little taken aback at his anger, but she quickly covered it up with a smart reply.
"For anything your disgracing my name as well. I'm not just the jewel of the town, but I'm also the Queen's howling wolf! I was sent here by her orders to retrieve the horrid person that did this to these people."
Ciel had the slightest look of shock on his face that he was talking to another one of the queen's loyals.
"The Queen's howling wolf?" He mumbled to himself.
"Master, I believe that was the name of your assigned partner for the case." Sebastian said. "Partner? With him?! Just kill me now!" Sage said placing her hand on her forehead. "That could be arranged." Ciel said, turning back towards the people hanging in front of them. Sage huffed annoyed before crossing her arms and standing beside Sebastian. 'This case is going to take ages' she thought to herself.
As Sage was sitting at the desk across from Ciel, Sebastian came in and gave the cursed boy a few sheets of paper, that Sage guessed held information about the purple wrapper. Ciel flicked his hand at his butler as a sign to have him leave the room. "So what's it say?" Sage said twirling a strand of Crimson hair around her finger. Of course, being the snob he is, he ignored her and continued reading them. Glaring at him, Sage got up out of the chair and walked behind him. She then leaned into his shoulders, making him growl. Sage saw that his cheeks were red. "Is that blush?" She asked, obviously triggering Ciel to blush more. "It is!" She laughed and put a hand on her stomach.
As she finished her chuckle, she saw that Ciel was looking at her with an expression that Sage couldn't put her finger on. "W-what?" She said instantly cursing herself for stuttering. "Your laugh." He said, his expression not changing. "What about it?" She said confused. "Nothing, just it sounded like a girl." He said smirking. "Oh, your soooo funny!" Sage said sarcasm in her words. Ciel only grunted as a response. "So, watchdog, I heard your engaged?" Sage said trying to start conversation. "What about Elizabeth?" He said looking back up at Sage. "Nothing, only feeling sorry for the poor girl." She said, her emerald eyes glinting in amusement at her own joke. " ha. ha." Ciel responded.
"Undertaker, we need information about the people being hanged." Ciel said to the white haired man. "Aah, my last customers. I'd be happy to tell you all about them! For a price of course." The man replied, looking at Sage. She cringed, feeling uncomfortable. "I want something to make me laugh." He said chuckling a fake giggle. "Fine. Sebastian." Ciel said motioning to his butler. "Yes, my lord." The Raven black haired man said before allowing both of us to leave.
