Trista awoke to the loud sounds coming from the kitchen below. Her eyes flew open, and a large warm smile crossed her face, as she saw that Ciel hadn't left her side, and was pretending to sleep. "I know you're awake Ciel, demons don't sleep, remember?" The young boy sat up slightly, propping himself up on his elbow. "My mistake.. I just thought it'd be easier to explain to Grell if I said I simply fell asleep. And not sleeping in the same bed purposefully." Trista just laughed and agreed, and walked back to her room. It was going to be very long day, but all Ciel could think about was how beautiful storms were, only because of what they had brought him. Realization. Love.

"WAAAAA! Ciel all this food is amazing! I'll always remember this as my first grand breakfast!" Trista was jumping up and down in her chair, as she was only recently created she had never been exposed to things like this. She ran up the stairs to hug Ciel, ignoring Adrien and Vanja's stares. Ciel, now welcoming the gesture didn't even bother sparing his cousins a glance. Adrien looked at this, aggravated by the sudden change. Jealous, he thought of a rash plan quickly. "Sister. Be careful while going down the stairs." Vanja just smiled, not even considering wondering about her brothers plans. She simply turned to walk down the stairs, and everyone else could just watch in horror.
As she fell down the stairs, head first, and an unnatural *SNAP* was to be heard.
Trista was down the stairs not a second later, extremely frightened for her new friend. Ciel was so shocked, he didn't notice as Adrien folded over in pain, and dropped to the floor holding his right leg. "Sebastian! Help her! I have failed miserably as a host of Phantomhive guests, especially to relatives. I apologize deeply.." He turned to Adrien, (who had stood up just in time,) and bowed. "Dear cousin, you needn't be sorry for my sisters naturally clumsy nature. It was her fault for being foolish enough to forget something as simple as holding onto a railing." The two boys had made it down the stairs and were now next to the girls, observing Vanja who still laid on the floor in pain.
Adrien leaned down, as if to tell her something, but instead smacked her in the face, so hard the other two could hear it loudly. "Stupid girl. Be more careful. I told you that before you idiotically fell." He smacked her again on the other side of her face, even harder this time. As Trista once again rushed to her side and shrieked as the blonde looked up, exposing bright red hand prints in either cheeks. "ADRIEN HOW COULD YOU!? SHE'S JUST A LITTLE GIRL!" Adrien, ignoring his own pain once again, simply said "she's not a little girl. She's sixteen. And it's on her orders that I punish her when she does foolish things." Trista stared at him dumbfounded, clearly thinking her pained friend was a much younger. "But she looks so..and why would she do tha-" she was cut off as Adrien picked up his sister off the ground, and Vanja screamed in pain. "MY LEG! IT BURNS BADLY!"
Sebastian, now making his presence known, looked at Vanja's leg with interest. "It seems to be broken, . It would be best if you do not walk on it, and try not to put weight on it." Adrien doubtingly dropped his sister to the floor, bringing on another scream of pain, and sitting down himself. "Please, do not be so careless with your sister. It's un-gentlemanly of you." The boy looked at Ciel as if he head three heads. "Yes..Erm...my apologies sister dearest... To be so careless with you is truly disgraceful. To make up for it I'll have a new dress made for you immediately, one to match your beautiful semi-green hair." Trista rolled her eyes "you don't need to go that far jeez..." She muttered. "Brother you know not to flatter me in such ways... I am engaged as you know..."Vanja said as she blushed deeply. Ciel looked horrified, and then came to a strict realization. "You're engaged? To who?" She looked up with her owlishly large eyes, "To lord Stanton's son. Brendan Stanton." Ciel blinked simply. "I hate that guy."
