"What?!"

Sebastian cringed and tried to stand up, intent on leaving to the kitchen. He could cook and mull over what words he wanted to use to explain this. In terms a human would understand.

A hand closed over his wrist, and he looked back to see the chef. Really. He didn't have time for this - Ciel was probably going to ask for his afternoon tea (and possibly lunch) soon. He had to get that done, no matter how bad he still felt.

"You've gotta be...are you pulling my chain? Pr-"

Sebastian reacted quickly - or as fast as he could - clapping a hand over the blonde's mouth. The sudden movement caused a wave of dizziness, and Sebastian swayed on his feet. 

"Ey!" 

Baldroy surged up, barely able to catch the butler before he fell over. One hand instinctively went to cover his stomach, causing a gasp of surprise from the butler. Sebastian slapped his hand away.

"Don't, Cl-" Sebastian cut himself off like he'd hit a brick wall. One hand went up to eyes to angrily wipe away tears again.

"Wait, do you mean Claude...?"

"Yes. Septum calendis, how do you know...?" Sebastian mentally cursed himself for using a statement from his realm, but it had just slipped out. 

Does Baldroy know something more that he hasn't told me?

"Well, I heard Ciel talking about him. What happened between you two to make him so mad?"
