"Another mysterious attack! A coffee house in Piccadilly Circus severely damaged," [Name] read aloud, "Nothing ever normal happens near Piccadilly Circus, once saw a man break dancing with a monkey once," It was true (literally), anytime she had gotten off the underground trains at Piccadilly Circus, there was always something happening near the fountain.

"I'm sorry?"

[Name] had sat beside Lau, in a plush armchair with a lamp in between them. Opposite the two was the Earl, and adjacent to him was his butler with a tray of letters in hand, the boy having to look through each one.

She handed the newspaper to the man beside her, in her lap, a box tied together with a light blue ribbon.

Sebastian had returned earlier that morning, with somehow her favourite shade of lipstick after her complaints that her old one was running low. She jacked it up to the demon just being coy, able to find out her favourite shade without her noticing. However, upon his return, he handed her the very box that was sitting in her lap, with no explanation at all, just a simple "This is for you,"

"So, aren't you popular these days Earl..." Lau smiled over at the exasperated boy, looking through invitation after invitation. "To be honest," the closed-eyed man referred back to the topic at hand, "Those two have been ultra suspicious from the get-go." He spoke, referring to the prince and his khansama.

"That is true though...I just can't see why those two would cause trouble." As Ciel spoke about his opinions on the entire case, [Name] undid the ribbon of the box in her lap, removing the lid gently and placing it on the side table between her and Lau.

She pulled out a neatly folded piece of fabric from the box, and it revealed to be the most gorgeous dress she had ever seen. It was unlike the one she wore to the Viscount's ball and had the most striking embellishments, her lips fell agape as she stared at the dress she had pulled out, the fabric was a wonderful shade, one of her favourites. Her mind had clicked who must've gifted this to her, her lips curling into a soft smile as her eyes softened at the thought.

"Woow, what an eye-catcher," Lau spoke from beside her as she folded the dress back into the box, closing it again. "I'd assume you'll be saving that for a special occasion?" 

She hummed a response as she set the box aside, "Anyway, as we were speaking, Soma and Agni don't really seem all too suspicious,"

"Well then...It would be pretty neat if it was nighttime soon, don't ya think?"

"We're off then! go get some sleep midget Ciel."

And with that, their plan was in action. Not long after the prince and Agni had left the door. The four; Sebastian, [Name], Ciel and Lau, had begun their most ridiculous plan, following the duo through the city not too far behind as they observed how they two jumped from location to location especially pubs, showing Soma's drawing of Meena to countless people.

"It really does seem like they are just looking for that person..." Spoke Lau as the three peeked at the duo from around an inconspicuous wall.

"In this country, the best place to look for news of that person would be in a club or pub. It really seems like they aren't up to anything." The Earl, in his fur-lined cloak and mittens, shuddered from the cold nipping at his exposed skin.

"It is now 1 am. I predict they will return home soon." Sebastian spoke checking his (new) pocketwatch, "We should go home also."
