Night time.
Zero was asleep in his room. Ciel... Wasn't.
Ciel was being a naughty little girl, indeed. Since interrogations didn't go too well when she was with Zero... She was going to go interrogate that Cubit fellow on her own. Of course, she wasn't totally stupid; she was bringing a gun along with her, in a holster strapped around her hip.
The only reason she was confident in going alone was because Cubit didn't seem too bad or hostile at all. Infact, he had complimented her last time. Zero never complimented her at all - and HE was on their side!
Then again, it all could've been some sort of trick, but... Why else was she bringing a gun along, hmm?
The girl stopped at the door, swiftly tapping in the code to unlock it. The door slid open, allowing her entrance. And she entered, closing the door as soon as she did before turning back around.
Cubit Foxtar was still sitting up on the top bunk, swinging his legs back and forth in a bored manner - though he perked up considerably when he saw Ciel enter. YAY! Someone to chat with! But... It was rather late, wasn't it? "Hello again, lady Ciel! Aren't you supposed to be asleep? And where's your little body-guard boy? It's not wise for little human girls to visit an enemy's room late at night without some form of protection."
Ciel's brows rose as she listened to the Weil Bot's little speech. She coughed, albeit fakely, hand going for the gun in the holster around her waist. She held it up for the pink-eyed reploid to see, sort of as a warning. "Yes, I should be sleeping now. But I decided to try this without Zero being here. He doesn't seem to like you, and he interferred with our attempt at interrogating you last time, so..." The petite girl shrugged her shoulders, lowering the hand holding the gun. "And you don't seem bad enough for me to be too worried," she pointed out.
And in reply, the girly reploid momentarily disappeared, dispersing into several little balls of flame, each making their own way to the stunned girl before reforming behind her as Cubit. Before Ciel could turn, the Weil Bot had grabbed the hand holding the gun and wrapped his other arm around her tightly, pulling the rather stunned human against him. "Don't forget that I am still loyal to Lord Weil, girly." Before the girl could stutter out a proper reply, he had let go, pushing her forward gently before he stepped around her in order to make his way back to his perch.
The human girl quickly regained her composure when he had let go of her, watching the Weil Bot with wide blue eyes. Mm... Perhaps making a try at interrogating him alone wasn't such a wise idea? Then again, he had just seconds ago had her in a vulnerable position. If he had wanted to hurt her, he could have done so then. "Then why did you... You know, surrender? We now have the proof that we need... Zero said during your fight that you said you'd help us... If you were truly loyal to Weil, you wouldn't have said that."
"Smart girl," Cubit muttered, leaping back up onto the top bunk and sitting down, once more going back to swinging his legs back-and-forth. "It was a moment of cowardice, that's all!" He grinned, tilting his head to one side, eyes never leaving the human girl. "If I could rewind time, I wouldn't have said a thing!"
Ciel frowned. Did that mean Cubit wasn't going to help them...? Even if he had already done so, albeit unintentionally?
The girl frowned. Okay, she was sleepy. Aside from that little adrenaline rush caused by the Weil Bot getting so damn close, she was TIRED. And her mind was bogged down with sleep.
She yawned, putting her gun back into the holster. "I'm too tired to argue." Ciel turned back to the door, ready to leave, before casting a glance over her shoulder at the reploid watching her from the bunk bed. "Please consider helping us, anyway. Weil is a bad man who only seeks for personal gain, not to improve humanity." With that, she left the room, locking the door once more before she left.
Cubit closed his eyes once she was gone, leaning back and folding his hands behind his head. Hmph. Even if he did join this little band of rebels, Zero would probably wind up killing him, anyway.
Soon enough, the Weil Bot's systems slowed in the mock-sleep of any reploid. Baah, he'd think about that stuff in the morning...
