“Y-you think I don’t know that?” Ciel asked, rubbing some of the smearing paint off his face using his scarf, then looked up at Kid. “That’s difficult to do now. And besides, you might want to follow that advice yourself.” He slowly stood up before also glancing around, noticing there were two other blinkers. He didn’t but know either of them very well. He focused on Kid again after a minute. “How have things in your world been?”

Kid arched an eyebrow at the almost-snap. At least, that was how he took it. Ciel seemed like he'd been dunked or possibly been out in heavy rain. Kid very clearly looked like he'd taken a dip in a pond. He shrugged at the statement, not having much he could do except get the couch wet again. Or pass some of the dampness onto another blinker via tackling. "Things have been...okay," he answered with hesitation. He waved a hand downward at the wet clothes, adding, "Apart from dying in the last room I was in and then landing in a duck pond." He didn't know if Ciel had been in that room, but he assumed he'd at least heard about it.

Ciel was partially distracted the whole conversation, twisting sections of his clothing to wring some water out of it. But he stopped and looked up at the mention of the room. “Hm? You died in a room?” He didn’t seem too concerned about that, just irritated that his theory had been proven false. He had thought that if you died in a room, you’d be released from the blinking. Apparently not because Kid was back. “What room was this.”

"Yes," said Kid, mostly unaware that he'd debunked Ciel's theory. It hadn't been his anyway, since he'd talked with Arlo a couple of times. Apparently, he'd never mentioned the fact to the earl. "Though I doubt it would warrant such irritation. It was an arena of sorts. I'm afraid I didn't get to ask many questions, but apparently the only way out of the room was for everyone to die." He started to mess with one of his shoes, since he'd already wrung out his clothes as best he could. The shoes, however, were still making a 'slurp' sound every time he took a step, like wet shoes tended to do. Once again, he cast a look around at the other blinkers, but they didn't seem to be up to engaging anyone. "Is it raining back in your world?" he finally asked.

A room that made everyone fight against each other? That sounded ridiculous. “It’s not that! I was just thinking is all,” he said, trying his best to reason with this new information. What a strange room. And since Kid had died, then there was no way he could question him any farther to get more information. “And no, not exactly, though I’d much rather prefer that. One of the circus members thought it would be amusing to dump a bucket of water on me,” he grumbled softly, “and it’s cold, which does not help any.”

(Sorry. Went to eat.)
And Kid really didn't have much more information to offer. Nothing useful at least. "I imagine not," said Kaito, rubbing a hand through his hair. "Functioning while being both wet and freezing is a lot to ask." He glanced over Ciel, not really knowing what else to say. He wasn't sure why the Earl would be in this circus. Aure, he'd said it was for his job and that it had something to do with children, but couldn't he figure things out without going that deeply undercover? Ciel didn't seem the type who'd make it very far in a circus.

(Don’t worry about it^^)
“Yes, that is quite obvious,” Ciel muttered, staring at Kid for a few more moments before looking away. “But as soon as I get back, I have no time to rest.” He blinked a few times, shaking his head. “But you wouldn't want to hear about that.” He took a few steps backwards, then gestured to the couch. “I’m heading over there, you may come if you wish.” He offered, quickly glancing at him before making his way over. “Besides, you haven’t explained how you ended up in that duck pond.”

Kid chuckled, if it was a little dry. "Oh, that was because I wasn't watching where I was going after I got out of that room. Getting killed causes you to kind of forget about the fact you might not want to turn the corner too fast." He looked after Ciel, before following him over to the couch, sitting down as well. "And actually, I would be interested. I've got nothing else to talk about."

"And actually, I would be interested. I've got nothing else to talk about." (Ok I’m back now, sorry! I’m distracted by football.) Ciel soon sat down, looking over at him. “Ah I suppose that’s right. Well it is a good thing you know how to swim,” he commented with the slightest grin. Then he shrugged, looking away. “I’m sure I’ve told you why I’m there, because the Queen asked me to. Joining the circus was Sebastian’s idea, and I wasn’t aware he was going to drag me into it either... anyway, what do you want to know about?”

(No worries. I poofed to read a little, only to end up flipping through the GN and saying it wasn't that interesting.)
"Know how to, but don't like to," Kid pointed out, nodding. He also grinned a little at the statement. At the repeated explanation, Kaito rubbed at his chin, thinking. That wasn't really any new information, but he did have a couple of questions he was willing to ask. "Where does that grim reaper come in?" He wasn't sure what the meant in Ciel's world, or if there really was a skeleton with a scythe in the circus as well. He supposed it was possible, considering no one would really believe that was what it was.

(Ah I see )
Ciel glanced over at him, a little confused about why he was so interested in that. “The grim reaper? He’s also undercover. You could say that we’re currently working together,” he explained, tilting his head to one side, running a hand through his wet hair. “And grim reapers look similar to humans, what’s why he was able to work in the circus.”

Kid's brain once again regretted the idea of Sebastian working with anyone he didn't have to. Come to think of it, maybe he had to. That wouldn't make the demon pleased. "You said it had something to do with children," he said. "Is that why you had to go undercover in a circus?" It seemed logical, in a sense. Children where common at circuses. But if it this circus was somehow malevolent, why wasn't Ciel at risk? He was younger than Kid, would be not be counted as a 'child' back in his world? Then again, people Kid's age were still considered children. Was Ciel making himself bait? Though he probably shouldn't be, that worried Kid.

Ciel blinked a few times, as if trying to figure out what Kid was trying to say. “Hm? Oh no, the reason why I went undercover was because we couldn’t just go to the circus and find the information we needed. And besides, they don’t know who I am dressed in commoner clothing, and I’m going my a different name.” His head was still tilted to one side, and he frowned some. “You don’t have to worry. This job of mine will be over soon.”

Kid wanted to point out that that didn't really answer his question, but he supposed he not only hadn't been phrasing it right, but he didn't think Ciel was going to answer anyway. "I'm glad I do not have to worry," he admitted, steepling his hands in front of his face. He silently added in his head, Yet I worry anyway. Can't help it. "What name are you using?" he asked, voice tinted with amusement.

Ciel wasn’t going to give out much information anyway. He was just going to keep working the same information differently. He rarely shared important information with anyone in the House. He only frowned more, then turned away slightly, leaning against the arm of the couch. “The name’s not that important, it’s just a stage name they gave me, Smile,” he replied softly, glancing over at Kid. “I don’t know why you’re so interested to begin with.” He shrugged. “How are you doing with being a thief?” (wow --cato phoenix, you added a lot already. It looks great!)

(The butterfly room! )
Kid really did try not to laugh. The Earl that never smiled was getting called...oh gosh, never mind. He started chuckling, closing his eyes so he didn't have to see Ciel's expression. "S-smile?" He said, grinning. At the question, he slowly trailed off with the laughter and thought about the question. Then he shrugged and sighed, "Been at a stand-still for a year now. Nothing's changed. I steal the major jewels, yet the Organization that killed my father seems to have gone under again. Hiding. Maybe they've already found what they're looking for and I'll never know. But nothing has turned up. I haven't even seen Co-Shinichi in a good long while." Though he hadn't expected to. Conan wasn't in the area, he guessed. They just hadn't crossed paths.

(whats up i havent rped in hecking forever) Ellie blinked into the living room, a smile on her face and a bit of amazement in her eyes. She had clearly been petting something back in her world a her hand was still making the motions against the air until she adjusted to her surroundings and scrunched up her face. "Lame," she muttered with a groan. Ellie crossed her arms; the house couldn't have waited until after she'd gotten to ride the horse?

As soon as he started laughing, Ciel crossed his arms, glaring at Kid. “Shut it, you! It’s not funny!” He growled, then turned his gaze away as he continued speaking. He listened silently for a moment, thinking. “Oh, so it’s not going too well for you?” He wasn’t really sure what else to say. “Perhaps you have to do something bigger to get them out of hiding? Or talk to Shinichi about it here.”

(Um, I don't think you have, Arlo. cx ) (Hello Dawny!)
Kid just grinned again, but let it drop. "No, not the best. And I'm not sure what I could do that would be considered bigger. I'm a guy in a white cape and top hat, stealing rare gems, and annoying the police at every turn because of the tricks I use when I steal...you honestly think I can do more than that?" He supposed if Ciel had an idea, he could use it. "As for talking to Shinichi, he hasn't even met me in his timeline. There are things in my time, that if I told him, would cause some large degree of mayhem. So I try to avoid talking about what's happening in my time with him, as he might try and change it to benefit him." He cast a glance over at Ellie and waved, nodding at Chamomile in the process.
