God bless!

There was something tickling his neck; he was trying to ignore it. Couldn't very well scratch like a dog after fleas - at least, not where he was. He stood by the door, arms held out by his sides, though his fingers twitched, as if trying to move to his neck their own accord. Whatever it was started moving up his jaw towards his ear. He hoped it was a hair. Or just the fact he was focusing so much on the sensation.

Yes, that was it - his calming thoughts were halted abruptly as something climbed inside his ear. He let out a quiet sound and thwapped in it's general direction, tilting his head in a silent but desperate attempt to dislodge it. Whatever 'it' was.

Eric turned from where he stood by the table, a less than amused expression on his face. "is there something you need to *say*?" he asked, quietly irritable.

Sebastian looked up, eyes wide. "Aucun,"(No,) he said, shaking his head.

"Good," Eric rumbled, "Because I wouldn't want to hear it."

When the prince turned, Sebastian went back to batting at his ear - until it fell out. It, being a cockroach. A disturbingly fuzzy looking one at that. He repressed a shudder. "As-tu besoin de moi?" (Do you need me?) He waited with bated breath for an answer, hoping to get out of the room as quickly as possible. Eric turned back around, momentarily looking up from his alcohol-containing-glass.

"Aller." (Go.) Eric waved his free hand.

Sebastian nodded and backtracked, walking out of the door and quietly closing it after. Which was when his phone buzzed in his pocket. Probably a good thing he had left when he did, then. He rifled through his trenchcoat pockets until he found it, vibrating away. "Oui?" With a concerned expression, he looked around himself.

"Sebastian - je besoin de vous pour dire Meisner; trouver Mishnikaeff." (I need you to tell Meisner; find Mishnikaeff.) Sean's voice spoke on the other end of the receiver.

"Meisner-" Sebastian's sentence was stopped as someone walked past him in the hall way - "Sa va?" (How's it going?) he suddenly asked 'conversationally'. Sean didn't question it, that much was clear as he stayed silent waiting for him to continue. "I'll speak to him."

"Watch your back."

"Oui, you too."

Sebastian suspiciously eyed his surroundings even as he flipped his phone shut.

Just another day in the life.
