"I cannot leave this place,
Under the moon dance, I remain,
Please do not ask of me
To follow where you lead."

They weren't entirely sure what to do with her. She clearly wasn't posing any type of immediate threat, but with the limitations of communication, they also didn't know exactly sure why she was here. Ciel had been the one to coax her back into the chair, she remained to be wary of the butler still in the room.

"Sebastian, go to the kitchen and make something for us to eat," Ciel demanded.

"Of course, My Lord." The butler offered a bow before he disappeared through the door. The blue-haired boy watched as the woman's composure instantly became more relaxed, if his observations were reading correctly she knew who and what Sebastian was. It could be concluded easily if Sebastian could decipher what she was, who was to say she couldn't decipher the same about him?

"Why are you here?" Ciel questioned, Adelaide stared back. Her head tilted to the side as she studied the Earl.

"I save human, and Adelaide is bound." Her accent was present reminding Ciel of someone he had once run into who claimed to originate from the north. She was referring to something, and it was with her statement that a connection was made within the Earl's thoughts.

"You were the cause of the drowned fishermen?" Despite his lacking belief that something such as mermaids could actually exist. It was almost a foreign concept in terms of having a demon around the manor. His mother had read Elizabeth stories of such creatures when she was at the manor, he having been forced to sit beside his betrothed through such things. He had remained to keep them merely to bedtime stories. Except he couldn't do that now, seeing as a siren sat right across from him.

"Yes, it was Adelaide, but she did not kill undeserving. You did not deserve." She mumbled picking at the sleeves of the dress Mey-Rin had lent her, she wasn't used to such scratchy fabrics. If she were going to be stuck with these legs however, it seemed she was going to have to learn to get along with them.

If she was the cause of the deaths, and if she were here now that would mean the occurrences in Portishead would come to an end. This also meant that he would be able to send his response to the Queen without feeling as though he had left his job unfinished. Of course, he couldn't tell Her Majesty that the cause of the dead fishermen was, in fact, a mythological creature, he could merely assure her that she would not have to worry about them anymore.

"Why are you here then?" He repeated the question, the conversation was beginning to work away the bit of patience he was ever known to have. She was clearly far away from the place she would call home, there had to be a reason she had followed them all the way here.
