INT. CIEL'S BEDROOM - MORNING
Ciel wakes up feeling ill. What could it be?
(Sebastian enters the room with a tea cart and slowly pulls back the curtains. He pours a cup of Earl Grey tea for his young master.)
SEBASTIAN
Master, it is time for you to wake up.
(Ciel opens his eyes, but does not get up, he was drenched in sweat.)
CIEL
(Hoarsely )
Sebastian, cancel today's schedule, I don't think I will be getting out of bed today.
SEBASTIAN
Are you feeling ill young master?
CIEL
(Hoarsely )
Very, I can't breathe.
(Ciel suddenly breaks out into a severe coughing fit. Instantly Sebastian is at his master's side.)
SEBASTIAN
(Concerned )
Young lord!,
(Sebastian helps Ciel into a sitting position, so he doesn't choke and puts a gloved hand to his master's forehead.)
SEBASTIAN
(Softly )
My, you're burning up.
(Ciel's coughs are so forceful that he begins to feel sick and puts a hand over his mouth)
CIEL
(Panicked )
Sebastian!
(Sebastian grabs the wastebasket from the tea cart and places it in front of his master.)
SEBASTIAN
(Consolingly )
Easy my young lord, I'm right here.
( Sebastian rubs Ciel's back soothingly as he leans forward into the wastebasket and becomes violently ill.)
SEBASTIAN
Master, has your stomach settled?
(Ciel collapsed back into his bed panting and closes his eyes exhausted. )
CIEL
(Exhaustedly )
Yes, for now at least.
SEBASTIAN
I shall dispose of this immediately, and be back momentarily.
(Sebastian leaves the room and returns swiftly with medical supplies and new bedding which he places on the chair and a pail which he places by the nightstand for easy access. )
CIEL
(Hoarsely )
Sebastian, send for a healer I'm not feeling well at all, it's the circus all over again.
SEBASTIAN
Of course my young lord, but first let's make you a little bit more comfortable shall we. Can you sit up on your own my lord?
CIEL
(Hoarsely )
I don't think so. I feel so weak.
SEBASTIAN
Not to worry my lord, just lean on me for support.
(After giving his master a quick sponge bath,Sebastian proficiently slipped Ciel into some fresh nightwear and placed him comfortably onto the chair while he changed the bedding, after which he places him back in bed. )
SEBASTIAN
There, that should make you more comfortable my lord. Do you think your Asthma is acting up again?
CIEL
(Hoarsely )
I don't think so, this feels worse much worse, if that's even at all possible. Please hurry and send for the healer.
SEBASTIAN
(Soothingly )
Yes I understand my lord, but in order for me do so, I have to assess your condition so please just be patient.
(Sebastian took ciel's temperature which read 104 F and indicated a dangerously high fever, he then places a cold compress on the boy's forehead.)
CIEL
(Hoarsely )
I'm so cold.
SEBASTIAN
You have quite the fever my lord, I have another blanket here, you stay warm and get some rest but first have some tea.
(Sebastian covers Ciel in a thick blanket and help him drink his tea. Ciel recognized the sent. )
CIEL
(Hoarsely )
Earl Grey?
SEBASTIAN
Very perceptive my lord, sip it slowly now.
CIEL
(Hoarsely )
Thank you Sebastian, when did you become so well versed in medical care for humans? You're a demon.
SEBASTIAN
Come now ,if I couldn't do this much for my young master, what sort of Butler would I be?
CIEL
(Hoarsely )
Well, you're one hell of a doctor.
SEBASTIAN
(Amused )
You do flatter me my lord, rest now I shell return once the doctor has arrived, but if you need anything do not hesitate to call me.
(Once Ciel finished his tea Sebastian helped him lie down again, as he was exhausted. After which he closed the curtains and leaves his master to rest taking the tea cart and medical supplies with him. He closes the door softly behind him. )
SEBASTIAN
Now, to send for the healer.
