A few of the demon servants in the kitchen were watching the human boy as he ate, though they were also careful to continue doing their jobs. It was lucky, actually, that they'd even had food here that a human could eat; human visitors were extremely rare. The most intelligent one had deduced that their Master must have known that a human was coming; it was inconceivable that it was just a coincidence that food for a human had been brought and prepared here when humans hadn't been here for longer than most of them could remember.
Ciel Phantomhive finished up his meat and vegetables, leaving the bowl completely empty. It had been a big surprise to him that demons could cook food that humans would like, let alone that it would taste so good. Even though the servants in here were watching him, even as they pretended not to be doing so, he had enjoyed the meal. Having satisfied his hunger, though, Ciel now wanted to go see Sebastian and make sure he was being taken care of.
The problem with that was quite simple; the dark-haired teenager did not know how to get back to the room where Sebastian had been taken by that Demon Lord and Claude Faustus. Debating inwardly, he looked at the demon nearest to him. "Excuse me," he said, making sure to be polite and courteous. After all, this was not his estate and more importantly, he'd seen what demons could do and didn't want to get on their bad side. And, first and foremost in Ciel's mind, if he did anything to anger Sebastian's Demon Master, he might be sent away from Sebastian forever.
The demon that had been spoken to bristled slightly, feeling insulted at being talked to by such a lesser being than he himself was. Humans had no business being here in the demon world; they were frail, overly emotional, and while some aspired to do great things, most were completely stupid and highly unoriginal. About to say something to that effect, he was silenced by a motion from the alert, more intelligent demon who had moved to stand next to him rather quickly.
"He's one of our Master's guests, so be polite," the other demon informed his counterpart rather sharply under his breath; he could have gotten them all in trouble. Even though their Master would not allow them to be mistreated in any way, if any of them ever insulted a guest without justifiable cause, they would be disciplined for it. The worst thing they had to fear here, at least, was being fired from their job; there were demon lords out there who would kill at such a transgression.
"May I help you?" The demon moved to where the blue-eyed child could see him clearly, blocking the sight of the actual demon the human had spoken to. He set his broom down, leaning it against the counter so it was out of the way.
"I would like to go find Sebastian now, but I don't know where his room is from here. Would you please show me the way back?" Ciel requested, standing up from where he'd been sitting, an earnest look upon his young face.
Puzzled at the name Sebastian, the demon blinked, glancing at the others before back at the boy again. "I'm afraid I don't who Sebastian is; that's not a name I recognize. Might there be another name he uses here?"
Ciel thought for a few moments, before remembering that the Demon Lord Lucifer had called Sebastian by what he'd thought was the demon's last name- Michaelis. "Um... Michaelis?" he offered, hoping he was right.
"Oh, Michaelis; yes, I know where his room is," Ronan replied, bowing slightly. "Please follow me and I will take you there..." Leading the way out of the kitchen, he set a moderate pace, allowing the human to keep up with him.
The halls, while not particularly winding and confusing, were numerous, and if the demon hadn't showed Ciel the way, there was no way he would have found it without hours of searching. Within a few minutes, however, Ciel found himself standing in front of the room Sebastian had been carried into, unconscious and bleeding.
