Since the beginning of this voyage would be nothing but a ball, she decided to dress for the occasion, though nothing she couldn't remove right away for the clothes that best fit for quick maneuvering later. Long and curly ebony hair pulled into a traditional and professional bun, caramel features remained plain with not an ounce of makeup on. the beautiful emerald dress with black lace would make it easier for her to blend in with the 'High Class'. Pushing up the green frames of her glasses so they perched higher on her nose, she glanced to the two comrades that would be aiding her on this case.
One was a man who was well known by women around the Library as Ronald Knox, while the other was her dear crimson clad friend Grell Sutcliff. Both remained garbed in the traditional suit, well other than Miss Sutcliff who preferred to wear her crimson jacket around her elbows. When Hecate, the one who chose to wear a green dress, showed up she got a squeal of delight from the latter and both brows raising from the former. It was enough to engage in conversation as they entered the Ship.
It was also just enough for duel tone hues to miss a certain woman in the crowd who had spied the reaper with wide violet eyes. This was sure to be an interesting trip for them both, that she would make sure for if it was the very last thing she did. Though this was ignored in favor of paying attention to her Master and his Earl, violet shifting back to Snake who peered at her curiously. She offered a catty grin while helping him with the luggage, the black maids outfit with a stark white apron clarifying she was indeed a servant under the Phantomhive household.
"You both take the luggage to the room, I'll accompany the young master." With the order from Sebastian Michaelis, her Master, she nodded softly before looking at Snake, "You ready?" Getting the affirmative nod from the young man, she made her way into the ship with the snake charmer at her heels. Only a glance back was given to note of his almost depressed look, so with a silent sigh she addressed such a look. "What has you upset, Snake?"
"It's lonely without the others, says Dan."
That surprisingly hit a bit close to the heart, did she understand how he felt? Of course, before the Greene household took her in, Hitomi had wandered the plains of many countries for decades upon centuries. Loneliness was something that caused her panic attacks, something she wasn't proud to admit in having. Giving a brief nod, she turned to a door and opened it, revealing what was to be the Phantomhives' room, then stepped inside to set the luggage down. "Well Dan, I'm sure it is quite lonely without everyone around, but at least you have Snake and he has you for company. So cheer up, ne? If you get bored of each other you can speak to me." It wasn't like she minded, Snake was one of the more intelligent servants.
Turning to find a rather surprised Snake, he narrowed his eyes at her for a moment, then spoke again. "I thought you would be more mean, says Dan." She blinked, then offered an amused grin, "Why would you say that? Do I look mean?" When Snake gave an uncomfortable grimace, she chuckled and walked over, cupping his cheek with a head tilt. Snake almost recoiled, though was suddenly stilled when he realized that her hand was a lot warmer than what would be normal for a human being. "I'm only mean to people who have done myself or my Master wrong, since you have done neither, I do not find the need to be negative toward you."
"But what of Smile, asks Dan." She snorted, perhaps a bit unladylike, but she covered it up quickly enough by covering her mouth, a sly wink given to the snake charmer. "Well, that's a different story I rather not get into. Shall we unpack everything? There's something I need to inform Master on." Yes, like there were Shinigami on the ship.
