[She has done this before. It is disconcerting. She had no memory of Siren's Port while in Nirvana, but standing back here, in familiar surroundings, she remembers it clear as day. She left. She left, she left, she left- it is a bittersweet feeling to be back here.

She left.

There is a lot to think about. But she makes on decision quick fast; play dumb. Docile. Feign recollection. Too much time has passed. Too much has changed. Hannah will not make herself an enemy willingly. She does not trust her voice. ]

I am displaced. I am not a special case, nor would I claim to be. But this is not where I was. This is not "home".

[A deep breath. She checks for spiders; she keeps her expression wooden. There is a part of her that is convinced that Claude will smell her lies a mile away.

No matter. ]

My name is Hannah. The pleasure is mine, whomever may read this. I am looking for my master; perhaps I am foolishly optimistic to hope that he is here too. Earl Trancy, the younger.

[Her hands do not shake. She is grateful, at least, for the lasting effects of Nirvana. For the first time, she finds herself nervous. ]

Good day.

_{[Oh Hell no.

No. The day had started out fine. Wonderful even. Now it was going to turn sour immediately. He already knew how Alois would react. Perhaps it'd be best to hide anything of value away and out of reach of throwing.]}

Hannah.

[- Ah. Her voice is back. ]

Ciel Phantomhive. You are looking much better than when I last saw you.

Uh, yeah. I've seen .. that guy you said, but I'll have to charge you for the info.

You are an information broker?

And what state would I have been in when you saw me last?

Sure-- No, I mean, I'll have have to charge you for that information too.

Sodding wet. Sebastian Michaelis was not particularly happy with me. Such is the lot in life of those who are outmatched.

If I were to ask your rates, would you charge for that information too?

Natura-- Wait, no, good point.

Eighty cent per word. Photographs at eight hundred dollars, obviously.

_{[So. She didn't remember, did she? There's a sigh then, but it's barely audible.]}

Alois Trancy lives with me. We live in Sector Six. I'll send you directions shortly.

[A lie is a simple thing to tell. She almost feels bad. Her guilt is placed elsewhere, however. ]

I see. [Clipped. ] I shall be waiting, then.

I have the information I seek. Thank you, however. With such a steep price, I have no doubt you will make a fortune quickly.

[Thankfully, the NV can transcribe text posts.]

You hope he is here? Would it not be better to be free and do as you wished?

Did the Greeters explain anything about this place?

Like a bad penny.

Pennies are lucky.

They did. Not very thoroughly, but enough.

He is very dear to me. There is no reason that I shouldn't hope to be by his side.

Did they explain why it's not a good idea to be out after dark?

I can change that.

He does not need to be your master to be by your side.

It is simply the way things are. I have no quarrel with my position. It suits.

Ah - yes. Monsters and the like. It sounds quite terrifying.

Can a death god change fate?

It pays?

Not in money.

It's fine as long as you have good Darkness proofing in your home and stay inside at night.

...then I hope you find him, if you have not already.

_{[And they're sent her way! A little map should be able to be opened on her NV.]}

I assume you'll be able to find your way, Hannah?

[Oh.]

Your room and your personal effects are as you left them.

[The great pretender: does she remember? She might or she might not. In this case, as in many, he'll have to wait and see how she responds.]

[She is on her way, movements lagged down by a foreign feeling of uncertainty. She stops at his message, uncertainty twisting into insecurity. This is a quandary; she is deserving of a great many things and none of them rewards. She does not hesitate in replying. At least, not for too long.

Her finger is ringless. He would see through any forgery. ]

Is his ring where she left it?

Yes - if it's yours.

You will have to see for yourself.

[True to his word (for once), Hannah's room in the attic is still intact. It's very clean: there aren't any spider webs. The mansion itself doesn't seem very different, if at all, because Claude appreciates consistency. A commodity that's hard to come by, it seems.

He doesn't blame her, though. For disappearing. For leaving. This place is hateful, even though it's consistent.]

I will.

[Perhaps there is irony in a demon who is afraid of hate. Of a demon who fears anything, really. She does not fear Claude, but realizing that she fears his scorn is a sobering thing. She doesn't linger where she is; she moves faster, brows etched together. ]

Soon. Ciel Phantomhive is thorough with directions.

Of course.

[She has no need for it; but she skims anyway. For show. ]

My presence is not a hindrance, is it?

My gratitude for your generosity. Thank you.

Your advice is most appreciated.

Such a grudge you hold, death god. I bear you no ill will.

Not a grudge so much as - professionalism. You've no contract, as far as I'm aware, so from my point of view it's open season, darling~♥

I have no interest in souls you are bound to reap. I would much rather you and your scythe stay away.

If wishes were horses, sweetie~♥

I had fun with you the first time. I could definitely go for Round Two.

[A sigh; deadpan. ]

I am not a ball of yarn for you to stick your needing needles into, death god.

Knitting needles--

[ ... ]

I...

Are you calling me middle aged? ARE YOU SAYING I'M OLD?

You are putting words in my mouth.

I'LL SKEWER YOU! DEMON BINT!

[ END TRANSMISSION ]

On the contrary.

Then I will be there post-haste.

You've a keen sense of direction as well.

Naturally. I should dread the day when my sense of direction fails to take me where it is I must go. Should I report to you, Claude?
