Alex jumped in the car after being with Ciel, she tried to make small conversation with her father but he didn't want a bar of it. It was so obvious that he was mad but it was easy to see he was thinking, most likely about the consequences. The car arrived at Trancy Manor, Alex was relieved to escape the awkward silence. Alex went up to her room and had the intention of coming down, until she heard her father scream her name through the Manor which made her feel sick. It started as a meeting in the dining room but ended in tears.
"Daddy! What do you mean i cant see Finny! Take anything else away, my phone, laptop or WI-fi but not Finny" Alex slumped over the table crying as Claude watched on. "I am afraid it is your consequence". Alex stood up and looked at her father "do you not think it is a bit harsh?". "I told you not to go talking to Ciel, What did you do? Sneak out " ... Regretting it after saying "I'm not as heartless as you ... dad, i didn't mean that ..." Alex crouched down, she thought she was going to get a backhanding for backchating. once looking up and seeing Claude just watching her, she walked out and ran up to her room, Claude left at the same time and watched her run up the stairs. Once she was out of sight, he took off his glasses - he was not crying ... exactly. It just felt like he was.
Claude, for the rest of the evening, could not stop reflecting on Alex's comment of him being "heartless". He knew she meant it. The weight was all on his shoulders. Alois went into Alex's room "so Alex, would you mind telling me the latest - i have been to busy to 'catch up'? what's this business with Ciel, why are you talking to him after the party? ... and why are you barricaded in you room" Alex told Alois everything there was to tell and he understood completely, especially the part about Finnian. Alois did not want to see Alex so angry and upset ... so he had a bit of a chat to his butler.
So, it was arranged. The consequence would be lifted from 'family' to 'material possession' (no WI-fi for 2.5 weeks) . Sebastian got in contact with Sebastian and arranged for Finny to stay over at Trancy Manor and really surprise Alex. While on the phone to Sebastian, Claude asked what Finnians personality was like. Alex seemed to have a very different personality to her brother, considering they didn't exchange in a real conversation at the party- Claude was hoping they got along.
