Not particularly.

Yet you continue to stay. Your Masochism precedes you.

My mundane is insisting on it.

As it is I'd prefer to have my bath early tonight and sleep.

I do not see why that could not be arranged. Even if this access is purchased by that angelic dog. /pretend smile.

At least, as a dog, he's loyal.

Which is more than I can say for you.

/You get a frown.

/then a smile

I do not see how I have been anything but, Young Master. I do everything for your benefit.

I suppose that's precisely why you left me in Pleasantville for five years.

Because you were doing it for my benefit.

Also, why you left out details of my parent's deaths...

Why you abandoned me in Paris.

Why you didn't stop me from getting shot.

All for my benefit?

What do you take me for?

As I have told you before, Pleasantville is a mystery even to me. It was mere hours for me, where it was years for you.

It was neither my responsibility to tell you, nor did you ask. My duties were to assist you in getting revenge on their killers

And yet you hid critical details from me about it.

Along side protecting you and gathering information for you, running the Phantomhive Household.

It was not important to reach your goal, Young Master..that and the way events played out, you knew your killer in the end.

I did not need to tell you preemptively.

A lie by omission is still a lie, Sebastian.

You did not ask, Young Master. Therefore, no lie was made. You assumed that I knew nothing and therefore, believed exactly that.

I believe the more important subject that we should be covering is how it is that you do not remember what has transpired most recently

between you and I.

You knew everything and you'd think that it would be important to tell your Master about it... as it had to do with my goals.

And I remember everything fine.

Ash Landers, the fire of London, how you betrayed me.

Then you will remember your initial betrayal as well. /cold tone suddenly

The reason why I hesitated, questioned our arrangement.

You remember and yet, you allow Ash Landers near you..

Isn't it obvious? You abandoned me and I needed what he offered. I'm an opportunist.

I'm going to use him and throw him away.

I fully acknowledged that I'm your prey. That I was human and weak. Then you dishonored your end of the contract by not coming for me.

/cue angry silent stare

I not good enough for you?

You speak of these terms like they were negotiable. As though you had a choice after the contract was signed. I stated the terms and you

denied them. -That- is why you were able to be harmed. I came for you when you accept them once more..when our contract was truly valid.

If you had not been good enough...You would have been left to die on an alter, 4 years ago.

The end result remains the same no matter what but until the day I'm actually consumed by you... the fineprint can change depending

on the orders that I give to you.
