(Y/N)'s POV
Freckles "Oh. By the way, Smiles, we should take a bath."
Did... did he just say what I thought he said?
Ciel "E-excuse me?"
Freckles "Yeah! Baths don't happen everyday in the circus, you know? And it's best to do it while there's still sun out, so come on! We gotta do it while we can!"
Ciel "W-w-wait a moment! Wh-"
Freckles "Oh and you can come too- uhh... blimey, I don't know your name! Bah what does it matter, come on, newsboy!"
Masking my true intentions with a smile, I simply said;
(Y/N) "Sure."
Freckles grabbed Ciel's hand and started dragging him away with me following close behind. The site for bathing was just out in the open, the views of the world covered only by thin, foldable wooden panels, and drapes. The gestures of the circus members who drench themselves with water suggests that its temperature is below normal tolerance. I'm certainly not going there, but I wonder how Ciel will fare...
Freckles "Alright! Now off with these!"
Ciel "W-what do you think-?!"
Freckles "Come on now! You can't take a bath with these things on! We're all friends here!"
Ciel "No! Stop- I'd rather not!"
Freckles "The trick is to get it over with quickly and dry off!"
(Y/N) "Umm maybe you shouldn't-"
Freckles "Don't worry! You both came from an orphanage right? You should be used to the cold water!"
Ciel "Hey! Get off- whoa!"
Freckles "Gah!"
*Splash!*
Accompanied by a loud thud, Freckles loomed above Ciel, both completely drenched on the ground, some of the water that became airborne even hit me. The accident seemed to have garnered us the attention of every circus member in the area.
Freckles "Bloody Hell, you're supposed to take ya' clothes of and then bath, silly! Now let's get these off and-!"
I looked over Freckles' shoulder to see what startled him. The sight I found surprised me also...
A mark... a sigil of sorts... burned into Ciel's skin on the left side of his body... Having learned much about the occult, I recognise the sigil as one of the brands given by the cult to their slaves that they plan to sacrifice to their demon.
Ciel's showed a simplified depiction of two serpents - one black, one white, both intertwined, upon a staff in the middle... I knew which one it was immediately... The brand of Baphomet...
Before long, Ciel shouted, and pushed Freckles off of him. I called out to him, but he didn't respond and continued running away. With him out of sight, I looked down and saw Freckles still on the floor. The way his eyes dripped with guilt suggests that he too knows exactly what the brand means.
(Y/N) "Freckles."
My sudden beckoning of him caused him to tense up even more, before turning his face up to meet mine.
I grabbed a few towels and sheets of cloth from a nearby pile and handed it to him.
(Y/N) "Go dry up, I'll look for him."
He remained quiet for a while, but nodded.
Taking my leave, I ran towards the general direction that Ciel went to, following the wet imprints on the dirt as my guide. It took me a while to get to him, and by the time I did, Sebastian was already in the area.
