001 ♫ Arrival

[He comes to himself still on the ground. The white uniform will need to be cleaned, he notes in passing. The small creatures nudging him bear no resemblence to youma; this place bears no resemblence to the Dark Kingdom. Where is he?

Where is Master Endymion? He struggles to a sitting position, despite the protests of moogles who think he's not ready to move yet. He has to. He raises his hands, as if playing a piano- and indeed, music starts to fill the air, perfect and clear, captured by the communicator as well. It is searching, seeking, desperate.

But after only a moment, he stops. His hands slump and then fall beside him. His eyes find the ground and his shoulders sag in defeat.]

My music cannot reach the master from here.

[Why is it other people's servants can make it here and HIS can't?]

Whose your master?

[He would never willingly leave the side of his lord.]

I serve the Master Endymion. [He has never once called him by his reincarnation's name; he doesn't do so now, either.]

[Not surprisingly..]

I'm afraid I haven't heard of him.

[Few have, in the Earth of Zoisite's world, and this doesn't trouble him. Neither does it endear him to Ciel.]

If he were here, my music would reach him. He would hear it. I would feel him. [Something about his voice is a bit too intensely focused.]

[You would feel him-- right. That portion does sound vaguely familiar.. in a sense]

...

[Private]

What sort of arrangement did you have with this master?

[Video: Private, same filter] and mun has sudden visions of Zoisite as Sebastian... XD

[musicite.livejournal.com]

I am sworn to his service as his retainer.

[Video: Private,] Its the kneeling that triggers it XD

[Playing music out of thin air.. at least implies that this guy has some supernatural powers]

In exchange for what?

[Video: Private,] icon is only time he EVER kneels to beryl: to beg for mamo's life T_T so noble.

[His powers are quite strong, even by standards of the powerful men who are his comrades. But this question has no answer. None but loyalty. The ghost of a smile finds Zoisite's lips.]

In exchange for being able to be with the master.

[Yeah, and Ciel is not buying this for one second. Everyone has a hidden agenda or purpose. Demons - allegedly - didn't lie. Going on that theory one could rule out that species.]

...

[Then again-- there was Agni. The Indian might have said something as sappy at one point or another]

He must have done something spectacular to have inspired such devotion.

He is our lord.

[It's that simple; but it's not simple at all. Tied in those words are all the years they spent together in the past, all the service they were born and bred and trained to, all Endymion's own noble qualities that made the shitennou proud to call themselves his retainers and the kingdom's chief men.]

[Raises an eyebrow.]

Yes, of course..

[As to be expected from anyone under someone else's employ that wished to remain as such. This conversation really didn't seem to be leading anywhere. Whether Zoisite was being truthful or not it really didn't make any difference either. Just a temporary distraction from the usual routine.]

[He detects that note of dismissal - and the fine dress of a nobleman.]

Your own retainers are not the same?
