Ciel still felt somewhat flustered, for he'd learned far more about demon sex today than he'd ever wanted to. In fact, if it hadn't been for certain events that had happened in his life when he was younger, he still wouldn't know what sex was; he was too young to even think about it right now. Even with his fiancé known to him, Ciel hadn't allowed himself to think anything deeper about their relationship at the present time.
The dark-haired teen was startled out of his thoughts, though, when the Undertaker walked over to where he, Claude, and Grell were sitting, gazing up at him curiously. He didn't recognize the person who followed him, though for a moment he almost thought it was a girl. However, as the figure was definitely missing a certain part of anatomy required for females, it must be an adult male. At least, Ciel thought he was an adult, but he could be older than he appeared.
Lucifer looked down at the child that was studying him so curiously, inwardly amused at his bold stare. Seeing clearly the demon mark within his eye, he knelt down, recognizing it as Michaelis'. "So you are Ciel Phantomhive," he softly said, touching the boy's face and turning his head to the side. "I'd recognize that contract sign anywhere. You are why Michaelis has defied my orders to return here immediately."
Claude leapt to his feet instantly, moving to protect Ciel from this newcomer. He froze, however, when he recognized the significance of the other demon's words; he was the one that had ordered Sebastian to return to the demon world. "You are Sebastian's Master?" the golden-eyed demon questioned in an attempt to get the other's attention on him and away from Ciel. "You look too young for that..."
"Looks can be very deceiving," Lucifer purred, turning to give Claude a rather sensual smile, though a hint of something dangerous could be heard within that gentle tone. "Indeed, I am his Master; I have been since Michaelis was naught but a child. If he had returned to me when ordered, he would never have been captured like he was." Tilting his head to the side, his lavender eyes turned almost ebony as he met the intense gaze squarely. "Now I must save him from being violated by a very sadistic demon, avert a war among my kind over him, and find him a suitable mate. It really is quite troublesome..."
Undertaker knew what game Lucifer was playing now, looking instead to Grell while the other two were distracted. Having known the demon for so long, he decided not to even get involved with what he was up to. "I assume the active Shinigami have realized what is going on as well?" he queried, sitting just beside the green-eyed male and looking at him.
Grell had been watching the stranger with slight uneasiness; he could see that Claude was definitely not happy at what the dark-haired demon had just said. However, it would be rude to ignore Undertaker's question. "William sent me with them to rescue Sebastian and figure out more of who is behind the unauthorized murders in London," he replied, tucking his comb away into a hidden pocket. Pulling out a tube of red lipstick, he carefully reapplied it, not needing a mirror to get it right. "There's been so many that all of us are working together to figure it out, though I can't really see how I can learn anything while rescuing Sebastian from nefarious clutches..."
Wrinkling his nose, then, he looked more closely at Undertaker. "Is he serious, about a war being fought because many demons want Sebastian? I don't understand that at all. Yes, he's cute and all that, but hardly Helen of Troy or anything like that..."
"There is more to Sebastian than meets the eye," Undertaker replied truthfully, meeting Grell's gaze and absently thinking to himself of how adorable the younger Shinigami looked with such an expression upon his face. "Do you think I would be here if it wasn't true, Grell?"
"I guess not," Grell admitted, drawing his knees to rest up against to his chest as his shoulders slumped slightly. "But I don't understand any of this at all. And the last thing I want is to be caught up in a war like the one so long ago between the demons and the Shinigami. I don't particularly wish to die..."
