Bounded By A Seal (Ciel X F!OC)

His Butler, On Ice

There's a song, play when say

~Chapter~

After (slightly) black mailing Alberline into having us help with his case. He takes us to where he was headed in the first place before running into Ciel and I. When showing up to the tent he was supposed to go to, Ciels face falls into disgust.

'Why does Undertaker have a place?'

"You're sure this is the right place?" Ciel asks in disappointment. Alberline nods, "yes it is. He set up shop here because so many people have been freezing to death here at the Frost Fair." I raise a brow.

'If people were dying here already then why haven't they shut the fair down?'

Lau frowns, "inspector. You can't be serious, not him" Lau says. Alberline looks back at Lau annoyed, he was already annoyed with Ciel and I tagging along, but now Lau has, which makes this whole thing even more upsetting for him, "yes him, and you lot can wait right here outside! You're lucky I let you accompany me at all." He points to the five of us. I raise my hands, "don't worry inspector, we will." he nods, before attempting to grab the door handle and open the door. But the door was fake, so as he leaned in to 'open the door', the very realistic curtain moved aside and he fell in with a yelp. I face palm, "he thought that was a door?" Ciel scoffs, "what a hopeless fool" he comments. Lau looks over at Ciel with a smile, "just one of the privileges of youth my lord."

We stand in silence for about a minute after that, until Lau exhales and asks, "so. What is this place?" I snap my head over at him in disbelief.

'You've got to be kidding me.'

Ciel turns to yell at the man, "it's the Undertakers parlor!" He shouts, "you met him during the Jack the Ripper case remember?" Laus eyes widen as he laughs lightly at himself, "oh right!" Ciel sighs, folding his arms, "Alberline won't last one minute in there." He looks back to Sebastian, "Sebastian, prepare to-" before he could finish his sentence, we hear the Undertaker howl with laughter from inside the tent. The laugh was so thunderous, it shook the sign on his shop and caused the curtain door to flap around.

Ciel and I blink in surprise at what we were hearing. Alberline, he made him laugh. We look at each other, before approaching the curtain door, and pushing it aside to walk inside.

Inside, the Undertaker was rolling around laughing like crazy. Alberline on the other hand, looked incredibly confused, "what did he do?" I mutter to myself. The Undertaker composes himself finally and stands up, still giggling, but composed nonetheless, "I assure you man, you are a professional, that was hysterical. You could be a world renowned comedian~" he says, laughing again afterwards.

Ciel approaches Alberline, still in shock at how quickly he was made to laugh by this (in his words) idiot, "what did you say to him?" Ciel asks. Alberline flinches at our sudden appearance. He shakes his head, "I have no idea, I was just talking to him normally. And he began laughing like a madman" he explains, pointing to the still giggling Undertaker. Ciel frowns, annoyed he actually did something useful, "how unexpected. You aren't without talent." Alberline shakes his head again, "honestly! I have no idea what I did!" I raise a brow, "you sure?" I ask, "yes!" He shouts, his voice cracking.

Sebastian then approaches Alberline, he glares at the already nervous man, "it seems you're a man to be reckoned with. Most interesting." Alberline groans, not believing no one believes him, "seriously! I really didn't do anything!" He shouts again. Sebastian doesn't take his word for it, he just keeps glaring daggers at him.

Ciel suddenly slams his hands onto one of the coffins, causing all of us to jump, "tell me more about the ring! I want to know it all! The man you pulled out of the river was the last one to have it, so where is it?!" Ciel demands. Undertaker was still too busy laughing to answer him straight away, "perhaps it was frozen in the ice near where the body was found? You are a citizen of our great country Mr. Undertaker, please, give us your help in this matter" Alberline begs.
