[Ciel knew perfectly well that Sebastian had already prepared tea, but it was only proper to put gifts to use. He was grimly pleased to note that the butler was still conducting himself appropriately with the presence of a visitor.
Perhaps that had been too cold, but Ciel wasn't about to correct it now. The rest of the meal passed in silence that he felt no real need to fill with false chatter and hollow words. Instead he watched the teacup in his hand. Though it was hard to tell from his face, he did like it.
He was reminded of the older set his family used to use for breakfast. Nice, but more personal and familiar. The tea, too, brought back memories.
Sebastian, of course, would recognize these things, but Ciel made sure none of it showed.]
