"Aren't kittens precious?" Angelica squeezed her toy. "They's fluffy and small and cute and cuddly and-"
"My, you're an active one," Sebastian chuckled.
"That's t' what me third cousin said, yes she did!" Angelica wriggled. "You have cousins, Sebastian?"
Sebastian shook his head. "No," he sniled, "but I do have my master."
She beamed, eyes twinkling like moonlight on water. "Ooh! A family-like bond 'tweens you's!" she giggled. "Hey, do you's have any pets?"
The carriage came to a stop. Once Sebastian opened the door, he was tackled by a man with shoulder-silver hair and red eyes. Tiny cainine teeth were in his upper jaw. "Pluto!" Sebatian grunted. "OFF!"
Angelica tackled Pluto off of Sebastian. "Puppy!" she squealed, squeezing the air out of Pluto's throat.
Ceil and Sebastian watched as Pluto sort-of struggled. "Uh...Sebatian?" Ceil gawked.
"Yes...master?" Sebastian mouthed.
"...She should be interesting."
"Mr. Sebastian!" Angelica squealed. "Puppy likes me!"
Sebastian felt slight heat rise in his cheeks due to the new nickname. Facing the youthful spirit, he saw Pluto giving her dog kisses as she laughed. Her white eyes twinkled and her cheeks were rosy with activity. Sebastian stood and managed to pry Pluto from Angelica. He faced her wuth his closed-eye smile. "Welcome to the Phantomhive Manor, Miss Coblat," he said.
"Coblat?" she blinked. "You's mean my Pa's...birth-n'-name?"
Ceil glanced at her strangely. "Yes. Does he go by something else?"
"Did," Angelica huffed, "and 'e always 'ferred to us as the Frostbites, me Mum's birth-n'-name."
The door opened to a young woman with cracked glasses and 'red' hair held up, her mouth in a gap. "Golly!" she gasped. "Finny! Bard! We's have a guest!"
Angelica cocked her tiny head slightly and ran behind Ceil. "Hey! Wha-" He stopped when he saw he burrying her face in his back. "There's nothing to fear. She can't hurt you."
Sebastian nodded and kneeled next to Angelica. "There aren't scary ones here," he lied. "Only Earl Phantomhive and his loyal servants."
She took her face away and smiled, nodding. "Okay, Mr. Sebastian! Okay Mr. Ceil!" She skipped for the door when a naive seeming blonde boy came up with childish green eyes. "Ey-o! Me Angelica!"
The boy smiled. "Hello! I'm Finian, but you can call me Finny."
A tall man with a cigarette in between his lips walked up, staring at Angelica in an odd sort of way. "Who the-"-Sebastian kicked the carriage to drown the next word out-"-is this?"
Ceil huffed. "Bard, this is Angelica Frostbite. As you can see she's young, so please prevent from cursing."
Sebastian felt a small tug on his tail coat and looked down to Angelica. She held a hand up. "Mr. Sebastian, can you show me around?" she squeaked.
Having already taken a liking to the little girl, he took her hand and lead her into the house, Ceil and the other servants staring at Sebastian's back. Throughout the 'tour', Angelica looked astonished with everything, never once asking a question with Sebatian's clear explanations. They stopped at the library. Angelica ran in and eyed each book with interest. Sebastian watched as she pointed out children's stories (and dictionaries) to both him and her stuffed cat, which smiled the whole way through.
"Oh! Mr. Sebastian!" she hopped on her feet. "Look! It's..." she frozr and started sucking her thumb, "...what is it?"
Sebastian held back a laugh. He walked over with his gloved hands behind his back and leaned slightly to read the title. "Aesop Fables," he read. "You've never heard of it?"
She shook her head. "The only books I've read are of my kind, and they's boring."
He nodded and looked down at her. "Speaking of which, what 'cross' are you exactly?"
She beamed. "An ice pirate!"
He bit his lip in thought. "I'm vagely familiar with that title..."
She sat on the ground and took out two books from a pouch in her little white dress. One read Ice Pirates: The Frostbite Branch and the other had Tinsee Guide to Ice Pirates. "Me's family's in the Frostbite branch, and..." I'm the newest one. "Well, you's can read them. I've already read each thrice."
He accepted the books and nodded. "Thank you Miss Frostbite."
She giggled. "You's can call me Angelica, Mr. Sebastian!"
He nodded and held the books with care. They came out and Ceil walked up. "Sebastian," he addressed sternly. "We have a guest arriving for dinner. Make sure everything's ready by then."
He left their presense and Angelica beamed, eyes sparkling and mouth open into a laughing smile. "A guest!" Oh, Mr. Sebastian!" she started tugging on his sleeve. "Can I help with the preparations?"
Sebastian gave a cold chuckle. "You're a little-"
"I done it all the time!" she informed. "Pa ne'er liked servants."
Excusing her poor grammer, he thought. If she was still alive and what she said was true...it wouldn't hurt, right?
