[Lizzie had carefully placed the device to the side, avoiding the need to want to talk to people today, but not realising that it was on, to lost in her own thoughts and feelings to note a red light. She walked on over and sat down lightly on the bed, her hair trailing down her shoulders a and resting upon the front. Her pet Vulpix looking up at her as she sat there before jumping on the bed, resting her head upon the lap, trying to comfort her with whatever problem she was dealing with.

Lizzie turned her head, looking over at a simple calender that she had upon a desk fill with various hair bands and other essentials one would need for there hair. Making her pet and friend jump to the floor, she stood up and made her way over, picking up a small, yet simple hair brush and putting it to her hair. While gently brushing, her eyes kept wondering towards the calender, looking at the date it was. It wasn't going to change any time soon and she knew it. She stop brushing her hair after the fifth stroke as her friend had gone and jumped to where the device was, turning around to look at her master looking more and more upset the more she looked at the date. Elizabeth soon put down the brush as she simply looked into the mirror, at the way her hair was, the thoughts still running through her head. It had been a year and no matter what every now and again she was homesick, she missed home and her family.

Holding back the tears, she knew she should be strong and be herself in front of others and even Ciel, but as the days went on and on her birthday, it was hard. So, with tears rolling down her face, she reached over and grabbed a tissue before putting it against her face, trying to get it to stop. Her Vulpix on the other hand had picked up the device as Lizzie was crying, carrying it to her in hopes that she would use it to just help. After all she didn't like to see the master hurt or sad. Lizzie soon spotted the creature from the corner of her eye. So with the turning of her head she sniffed, rubbing her eyes with the tissue once more.]

What is it Isabelle?

[She reached over, picking up the device she had within her hand as she smiled slightly, closing the thing up and witching off the feed in the process.]

[Saleh looked closely into the video feed. If he couldn't see the tears, he could definitely see the sadness in her eyes.]

...Lady Elizabeth?

[He calls softly into the device, his voice filled with concern.]

[offrillsandswords]

[She was quietly brushing her hair, making sure that it was not knotted anywhere, Isabella tried to get her attention to the device that had a reply.]

Isabella? [She put the brush down and went to pick her up before watching at her friend pawed at the communicator. Lizzie reached over and flipped it open, putting on a smile.]

Hello there.

[mountain_sage]

[He watches carefully. She's putting on a smile now, but it seems forced.]

...What troubles you?

[Video]

[offrillsandswords]

It's nothing, really. I'm fine. I'll be okay in a minute.

[She wasn't sure if she would be, but she knew she might as well try and hope it stops people worrying.]

[Seeing a lady in distress was bad enough... but a lady he considered a 'little sister' figure, unforgivable? ]

Lizzie, what is wrong? Was it something Ciel did?

[It better not be or that kid is going to get it. ]

[Video]

[offrillsandswords]

[She simply shock her head slightly. No, Ciel had nothing to do with how she felt.]

No, Ciel did nothing wrong. I'm fine.

[Video]

[executionerrose]

[At least that was something, Ciel was behaving. ]

It was something else then? Is there anything I can do?

[Video]

[offrillsandswords]

[She shakes her head slightly.]

No, I was just thinking that's all.

[Video]

[no_souls_here]

Why would I be the root of it?

[Video]

[executionerrose]

Why wouldn't you be?

[no_souls_here]

[It wasn't difficult to tell that Lizzie was upset... but.. Ciel wasn't sure how to gently broach the subject]

L-izzie..

[He hated to see her like this..]

[Vulpix tried her hardest to cheer the young girl up, but it didn't look like she would anytime soon. So, putting a tissue to her eyes, she made sure the tears were wiped away before looking over once more.]

Ci-Ciel.

[no_souls_here]

[Freshly wiped away or not, the color in the girl's face was evidence enough to the contrary. That and the way she said his name]

What is it Lizzie? What is it that's gotten you so upset?

[olympian_herald]

Hey cat, You're looking lower than Ismenios's belly in a chariot rut. What's your damage?

Video

[offrillsandswords]

I-I'm fine... or I will be soon anyway.

Video

[olympian_herald]

You're no Pseudologoi, babe. [Meaning her fib was transparent. She wasn't fine at all.]

Isn't there anything I can do?

[Video]

[the_most_talent]

Lizzie? [She peered at the footage to make sure she'd identified the right person.]

I know we haven't known each other long.. but if something's bothering you I'd be glad to listen. Sometimes it helps.. you know? To get it all out.

Are you okay?

[Video]

[offrillsandswords]

I'll be fine soon, I'm sure of it. But, thank you for worrying, it's nice to know there are kind people out there.

[Video]

[the_most_talent]

Oh.. alright if you're sure.. [She replied reluctantly] If you ever do want to talk about it I'll be there for you.

[She was a friend of Chloe's after all and a sweet person.]

[namaste_jagat]

Did something happen Lady Middleford?

[Video]

[offrillsandswords]

No, nothing happened, I was just thinking.

[Video]

[namaste_jagat]

You're not hurt or anything? [He insisted on checking on her welfare before letting the matter slide]

[quiet_devotion]

[It was fairly obvious that the feed had been unintentional.. however the tears didn't suite her gentle features. He tried to speak to her without drawing attention to the fact that she'd obviously been crying.]

Forgive me for intruding, but is there a special date coming up?

[Video]

[offrillsandswords]

[She turned her head slightly, nodding.]

Sort of, two actually. One's already past and one today.

[Video]

[quiet_devotion]

What days would those be?
