~Anna's Point of View~
Sebastian came into my room several times to inform me of my chores. But I only replied with complaints and snappy comments. Technically I had the day off because I was "sick" yesterday. But lounging around in my room made me feel even more isolated and lonely. So I decided to get changed and begin my chores. While we were walking down the hallway Sebastian slid next to me, "Anna, today you must go to the London with Ciel. I have some important errands to carry out with, and he needs to pick up some files for the Manor's new ballroom being installed." I continued to shuffle past him only nodding softly at his request. I walked all the way to Ciel's room escorting him all the way to the carriage, and opening the door for both of us.
Silence ripped at my mouth. I was just numb at this point. I did not want pity, or attention. Just silence. A strong scent of lavender invaded my senses. And my throat tightened. I yearned to touch him, to speak to him. And most of all to have these feelings returned. But London wasn't far. Silence was easily able to dominate the space and time between cities and houses. Leaving only tension in the air.
Busy shops, busy people. One of the very few ways to describe London. Although I haven't lived in London for quite long, the people and atmosphere has kept me on my toes. As I glanced back to Ciel, it was clear that he was restless. His eyes were red and puffy, and he appeared as if he attempted to dress himself. His shoes were laced up incorrectly. And quite honestly it was bothering me.
"Stop. Stand still." I commanded. "Huh? An- "Just please keep quiet, alright?" I interrupted. I squatted down, and unlaced his shoes, retying each one slowly, in order to make sure I was doing it correctly. For God's sake even I had trouble lacing up some of these shoes during this time period. People stopped and stared at me and Ciel, probably concerned for our mental health, but I chose to ignore it. "There. All better. Let us continue, I believe Sebastian instructed me that the shop is just around the corner." I drifted away from him, paying very little attention to the blush that was gathering on his cheeks. "Ah, this is it. I will be right out." 'He must think of me as a dog, leaving me out here on my invisible leash, to embarrassed to invite me in as well.'
Several minutes later, Ciel exited. He never was one to take to long on tedious tasks such as these. "We shall be one our way then." I began to stroll ahead of him towards the waiting carriage. Expecting a tap on the shoulder or a 'Wait!', but none of those occurred, only in my imagination I suppose.
Only in my dreams.
