As always Sebastian walks down the hall pushing a cart of tea for his masters afternoon snack. "Young master, I've brought you your afternoon..." As he is about to enter he hears the faint murmur of someones voice cutting his sentence short.
A sweet, medolic voice rang from Ciel's room. Out of curiosity he stood watching silently. Through the door left slightly ajar he can see his young master over the piano.
"If God has...forsaken me," the boy sings. "Then I shall forsake God too."
His angelic voice filled the room as he sang. A strange feeling came over the butler. This warmness that he couldn't quite place. Like a burning candle. He found it strange. In a way his master was the candle. His soul a flame. Burning brilliantly and full, yet at the same time burning itself out only to left with nothing but the remnants of what it once was.
"Those who've been oppressed may hold...a black key." Ciel's voice rings thus bringing Sebastian out of his thoughts.
Still. The butler finds that that is what makes humans so interesting. That despite what happens to them if there is even just a spiders thread of hope left, they cling to it. No matter what it is be it an angel or a demon.
"All the doors I close to thee..." The butler takes note of the tears dropping on the keys. "Therefore seal the prayers of me." And his trembling fingers as they grace the keys.
In his cerulean eye the look of conflict and fear. As if he's witnessing his own demise.
"However, who will protect me..." Sebastian listens ever closely. He wonders if this really is his young master. So delicate and fragile. An angel who has fallen in to the pits of hell. "Who will protect me, from the most frightful...myself.
The demon continued to listen up until the very last note. Even then he was caught in a a trance. So fixed apon his young master that he failed to notice the song has been complete.
A smile comes across his face as he resumes his statement from before.
"Young master, I've brought you your afternoon tea."
