"Th...that's..." Ciel's eyes widened as he thought back to the last time he had seen this man. (Name) probably knew but, that wasn't the first thing she thought of when seeing the reaper.

"He looks like a white version of Kunikida" (Name) cracked up. It was hard not to think about it actually...

William sighed, "I thought I sensed an unpleasant aura. So it was you, was it." He looked down at the four on the ground from his place on the tightrope, including Dagger "Honestly." his garden pruners extended, stabbing the ground just in between Ciel and Sebastian and just a few centimetres away from (Name)'s feet. "I did not think we could meet again but...honestly." 

"Does he ever not say honestly at the end of every sentence?" (Name) stepped a few steps away from the pruners as William slid down to the ground, his hair, surprisingly unmoving. 

"What did you come to fish around for this time?" It seemed that he didn't really acknowledge (Name)'s presence, or so she thought. William pointed the pruners directly at Sebastian's throat, however, his glare went straight past the demon over his shoulders...Over to where (Name) now stood. "Devilish fiend!" 

Whispers began to circulate around the tent as even Dagger seemed confused, "De...vil?" Ciel stiffened up,  thinking of the next moves however he couldn't help but think 

"This is bad! Sebastian's true nature has been..!! And (Name)'s here as well..!"  The boy's eyes travelled to the woman standing a few steps behind his butler, only to freeze as he saw her inhospitable stare. Following her stare he was only slightly more shocked to see that William was also staring at her, though it was more of a glare.

"Even under the best of circumstances in this time of grim reaper shortages..." William continued on, talking to Sebastian but his eyes said otherwise. It seemed that no one in the room aside from Ciel and the other two themselves realised the tension building up between William and, surprisingly, not Sebastian but (Name).

"H...Hey, what the hell are you talking abou..."

"With a demon appearing like this, I suppose it will throw off my schedule." Despite eye contact proving otherwise, it was as if he was acting that (Name) didn't exist. 

"Grim...reaper...you..." Dagger seemed quite shocked as Ciel started to panic.

"N-no this is--" 

"Give it up, forehead! You said it with such a straight face, I couldn't tell you were joking!!" Dagger gave William a small smack on the head as the tent erupted into a fit of laughter. Ciel calmed down as he released a breath he didn't know he was holding, however, even as William was fixing his hair, he noticed two people further than the rest. Sebastian and (Name) were both next to each other, not speaking but both glaring at the reaper. "Since the first day he came here, this guy's been telling jokes. Stuff like "How about this soul." he's a real hardcore occult fan!" Dagger jabbed a finger at William as the man fixed his glasses.
"Though they're not actually jokes."
