Tessa:Ah. No. I'm fine. But thank you Ciel. That was very...Considerate. She nodded pleased. She twisted her hair and put her hands in her lap. She turned halfway to face him. I like your room though. It is very confortable looking. Peacful so to speak, I guess you could say.

Ciel:

He nodded. "I suppose you're right about that," he said, looking around. Tessa was right. His room was, indeed, rather peaceful. He smiled. "I'm glad I'm not a slob. Otherwise, I'd be embarrassed to show you my room."

Tessa:She smiled and nodded. She glanced out the window. I like the view...Mine is only the open meadow and woods...But oh well. I still like it I guess. You know Ciel. One of these days...I am going to go to Paris again. She said happily watching him.

Ciel:

"Back to Paris, huh," he said slowly, in thought. He smiled at Tessa, an almost wistful smile. "I wish I could say that about my home. I mean, I was born in New York and raised in New York, but I have a feeling I'm no longer welcome in that little apartment I used to live in." He let out a loose sigh. "My step-dad hates me to death, and my mom... Well, I haven't seen her in years." He smiled at Tessa, this time a true smile. "But that's alright. In the future, I plan to go out looking for my father, my birth father. I'm going to search every inch of the world. I just know it, he's still alive." 

Tessa:She scooted closer over to see his emotions better and nodded. I could help you Ciel. Some of my cousins back in Paris are detectives. I am sure we could find him then. She said happily. If its the last thing I ever do...We will find your dad. I promise.

Ciel:

He looked back at Tessa. "Oh, don't worry, I don't need help. Don't trouble yourself or your cousins with my crisis." He paused for a moment, then said, "I already have all the places I'm going to go to planned out. On a map." He reached over to the side of his bed and picked up his duffle bag (yes, he still hasn't packed). He reached inside it, then pulled out a large, folded piece of paper. He unfolded it, revealing the entire world. Red lines were drawn everywhere, starting from the boarding school, taking an entire trip around the world, then ending at the boarding school. 

Tessa:It wouldn't bother us....She glanced at the floor somewhat anxious but you couldn't really tell unless you watched her expressions closely. She fixed her skirt though it was perfectly fine. She stayed still.

Ciel:

He was quiet, though he could feel some kind of emotion in the air. Was it... Anxiety? Ciel put the map away, stuffing it in his duffle bag, then looked over at Tessa. "Why so anxious?" he asked, watching her fix her already-perfect skirt. 

Tessa:Anxious??? I'm not anxious. She said quietly twisting a piece of hair. She glances at the floor quietly not even bothering to look up. She let the piece of hair fall down and smoothed her skirt back out.

Ciel:

"Huh, I could have sworn there was anxiety in the air," he said, glancing at Tessa. He ruffled his hair, then flattened it. He looked at the floor, suddenly becoming greatly interested in the carpet. 

Tessa:She sat up straight like she was about to stand up but didn't move. She glanced out the window and began to lightly hum, not noticing she was doing so. She soon caught herself and stopped. She glanced at Ciel who seemed to be interested highly by the carpet. So Ciel.

Ciel:

He stopped staring at the carpet, and looked at Tessa. "So..." he said, trying to find a good topic for conversation. This, he thought, is rather awkward. He looked at Tessa, and said, "So, which do you prefer? Cats or dogs?" What a dumb question! Oh well, it'll start some kind of conversation.

Tessa:Cats. She said quickly. I....Despise of dogs highly....Cats are so nimble and smart, complex. Dogs are....Loud..Completly simple minded animals. She said shaking her head in thought she glanced toward Ciel. And what about you Ciel?

Ciel:

"I like cats better, too, for the same reasons," he said, nodding with agreement. "Plus, I'm allergic to dogs... And they're loud." He smiled. "Heh, I can't resist cats. When I was little, I would pick up stray cats from the streets and hide them in my room, taking care of them secretly. Of course, my parents found out eventually. Because my brother's allergic to cats and his room was right next to mine." 

Tessa:She smiles imagining the scene. She shakes her head and pushes back a strand of hair she nodded quietly. My mom hated cats...But I always loved them. They seemed to follow me where ever I went. So when we had to go out to get something from a store, mom would open the door, look around and say 'Run' And we would run to the store as fast as we could before the cats would notice us and follow.

Ciel:

He let out a small laugh. "Sounds fun," he said. "Cats are wonderful... They don't say or do dumb things. They're not loud. They're extremely independent. I love them." 

Tessa:She nodded quietly agreeing. They really did have some sort of connection after all huh? Despite the coffee so far they had lots of things in common. She snapped out of it quickly. I am sorry. She whispered quietly the accent clearly shining through.

Ciel:

He had been thinking the same thing Tessa was thinking. He waved his hand, as if to shoo the apology away. "It's fine," he said, putting his hand down. He smiled at Tessa, ruffling his hair, then flattening it again. 

Tessa:She nodded and lightly smiled. It's nice...To know someone besides myself who actually.....Understands everything. Who I have things in common with. She brushed her hand over Ciel's and took it. She flipped it over tracing the small veins with her finger.

Ciel:

"It is, isn't it?" he said with a smile, watching her finger trace over his hand. He then sighed a content sigh. "It's really nice to have somebody who has things in common with me. It's really, really nice."
