I Constantly Looked for Motherly Protection
Sebastian couldn't help but feel a little sad for the young girl crying in his arms. No matter how tough he might thing she is, she is still human, and a young one at that. The world was a very cruel place, especially to anyone with the name of Phantomhive.
How all of this happened, Sebastian wasn't exactly sure. Lady Lilith was playing with some of the local children (they were at the townhouse) and the next thing he knew, she came running to him a sobbing mess. She attempted to tell him what happened, but je couldn't make out her words through her sobs and hiccups.
So instead of trying to listen to her incoherent babbling, Sebastian shushed her and rocked her slowly in is arms. The world was a cruel place to a child with no father and an always working mother. The world was cruel to children who were not used to the high social life most other children of her class lived. The world was cruel to children who had to grow up too fast, and lost too much.
Sebastian knew it was wrong to sympathize for some one who was just going to end up his next meal. He was feeling too human. He was feeling! But Sebastian vowed to protect the child from all the cruelties and dangers of this world.
Well, all of them – except for himself.
