"Goodness sake, where did they put the tea leaves in this house?"
Seated in one of the chairs not drowned in random items, Leah watches as Madame Red, Lau, and Grell search every nook and cranny of the room, Anna stationed a couple of feet behind her. The room that was previously decorated quite nicely is now askew, leaving a mess in the group's carelessness.
"I can't find them either.." Lau remarks, staring into a vase while squatting on the floor.
Breathing out a concerned sigh, Leah can hardly believe her eyes at how none of the adults seem to think trashing a room that isn't theirs is a bad idea, "Perhaps we shouldn't make a mess.." Trailing off, the girl sets a couple of books to the side.
Bending in her seat, but overall unmoving from her position, Leah makes small attempts to tidy the room and ignores the faint 'nonsense' that leaves the older woman in red. It's not worth the effort, however, as Ciel and Sebastian have already seemed to arrive to take in the group of five leaving part of the young Earl's townhouse in disarray.
"Madame Red?! Lau?! Leah?!" Ciel exclaims, observing the damage with small beads of sweat running down the side of his face, "Why are you here.."
"Ah, he came back so quickly," Madame Red looks up in surprise at the sight of her nephew, "Since my cute little nephew is in London, how could I not come to visit you while I'm here?"
Besides Angelina, Lau smirks at Ciel's arrival, "Hey, Earl. I've heard that many interesting things happen here."
"Hello, Ciel! Lau invited me to tag along, isn't that kind of him?" Leah muses before pushing herself up from her seat, and approaching her fiancé with a bright smile drawn across her face.
Holding back a sigh when he sees the bundle of brown hair, Ciel allows her to envelop him in a chaste, but rather tight, hug. The Phantomhive awkwardly places his arms around Leah in return, making small pats on her waist and feeling the soft fabric of her carnation pink dress.
Putting more thought into his betrothed's statement, Ciel's brows are quick to furrow in confusion, "Lau invited you? You're friends with Lau?"
"I don't know if I would say, friends.. I think acquaintances is a better fit." Leah says with uncertainty, nodding her head to her words.
Across the room, Lau makes playful sounds of disapproval at the teenager's response, "Aww.. I would say we are friends, are we not? You're friends with Ran Mao, after all, that makes us friends!" Lau smirks, wrapping an arm around Leah's shoulder.
