After that failed attempt, Ciel had called you into his room and ordered his servants to wait in the drawing room until further instruction.

"What's wrong?" Lau was the first one to break the otherwise tense silence. "Why did he only let Lady (Name) in? Is he gonna scold her or something?"

"Oh, I hope not." Mey-rin fretted worriedly. "Mistress almost had him, she did."

"He seems to be taking this quite seriously." Bard noted. "Hope he isn't too harsh on 'er..."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Once you were both sure the servants were out of hearing range, you both let out an audible sigh, as you jumped up onto his desk and sat down, flicking your tail indignantly.

"What did I say, sir?" You huffed, giving him a rather deadpan look. "He may be obedient, but he isn't stupid."

Ciel grumbled in response. "I see that." He let out an almost inaudible groan, resting his head in his hand in irritation. "We need him to stand still for ten full seconds and you nearly had him."

"It's easier said than done, sir. Don't forget what we're dealing with here." You remarked, lightly touching your tail tip to the black ram figurine that was surrounded by soldier figures. "He may have a soft spot for cats, it's clearly not enough to get past his pride. We need to find a real weak point."

"...I see." He grumbles softly at your remark. going silent for a few minutes, mulling over what you had said.

"...this is the one thing I didn't want to resort to," He suddenly spoke up, which made your ears perk up. "But he's left me no other choice."

You squinted slightly, tilting your head slightly in curiousity. "...and... what would that tactic be?"

He doesn't reply, and instead stares down at the black ram circled by the soldiers. "...you'll see in time." He replied cooly, before lightly stroking you between your ears. "For now, why don't you check on his meeting with Paul and Tanaka?"

You stared at him for a long time. Even though you wanted to question and even protest at whatever this child was planning, you knew you wouldn't be able to talk him out of it. You then let out a soft, defeated sigh, arising to your paws and arching your back to stretch out. "Very well, sir."

After which, you turned and jumped off the table, making your way to the door with a tired glare on your visage.

All this just for a measly photo.

~~~~~~[to the meeting]~~~~~~

"And now could you please tell me about the Funtom's strategy moving forward?"

Your ear twitched as you heard Paul's voice as made your way to the area the meeting was being held, which was at the long table in the dining room. Judging by the way Tanaka was somehow steaming, you could tell he was reaching his stamina limit.

...suppose I could try again.

Mr. Michaelis! "Meow!" You called out loudly, which caught the men's attention.

At once, Paul's face lit up. "Ah, it's the lovely feline again!"

"So it is." Sebastian looked startled for a split second, but quickly masks it up with a cavalier expression and clears his throat trying to keep his attention off you. "Allow me to explain our strategy. Currently we are focusing on toys and confections,"

You walk upto him and brush against his legs, causing Sebastian to tense up slightly. "B-But we intend to expand into other areas as well..."

You smirked, carefully watching Sebastian's envious expression from the corner of your eye as you jumped up onto the table to receive a few gentle strokes on your head from Paul after he finished writing down what Sebastian had said.
