His Butler, Wanting to Misbehave high_seas

[mephistophilus]

Playing the part of a gentleman does get tiring.

Would you object to a change of pace, Madame?

Change of pace?

[mephistophilus]

Wearing a mask does become tiresome.

[crooked_tail]

Mask?

[His tail flicks side to side as he cocked his head at the demon.]

You mean you're pretending to be something you're not?

[mephistophilus]

Precisely. {His eyes follow that tail. And those ears.} You are most interesting.

[crooked_tail]

Interesting? [It must be his crooked tail. Konoe tries to hide his tail behind his leg.]

How so?

[mephistophilus]

Are you endowed with the features of a feline? {Please say yes.}

[crooked_tail]

Of course, I'm a cat.

[Didn't it look obvious?]

[mephistophilus]

{This is a happy, happy day.}

I find cats to be lovely creatures.

[crooked_tail]

L-lovely?

[mephistophilus]

Indeed. How is it that you gained a human form?

[crooked_tail]

A male Two Cane mated with the goddess Ribka who was in cat form then we came to be like this. All Two Cane are extinct now.

[There was also evolution but hey he doesn't know about evolving.]

[mephistophilus]

What did a Two Cane look like? {That isn't an animal he has encountered or heard about.} So you are the child of a goddess?

{Even better.}

Can you change your form?

[crooked_tail]

They supposedly looked just like us only they had no ears or tail!

[How could they hear or stay balanced?]

All of my kind are children of the Goddess. We don't hold any special abilities. Who are you?

[mephistophilus]

So they're like humans? {He grins and bows, one hand against his chest.} I am Sebastian Michaelis, Butler of Earl Ciel Phantomhive.

Their race is called Ribika. Sorry about that.

[crooked_tail]

A devil claimed Two Cane were humans...

[His ears and tail flicked curiously when Sebastian bowed.]

My name is Konoe, I'm from the Karou village.

No prob!

[mephistophilus]

Ah, so you can tell?

{Cats are so smart.}

You are a long way from home.

[crooked_tail]

Ah...Yes....?

[That was certainly a coincidence.]

I don't mind. I didn't like it much anyways.

[mephistophilus]

Why is that? Were you treated poorly? {Swift as a lightning bolt, his hand darts out and caresses Konoe's ears.}

[crooked_tail]

They didn't like me very--?!

[Konoe made a small sound in surprise when he felt Sebastian's gloved hands caress his ears.]

Wh-what do you think you're doing?!

[mephistophilus]

I can't understand that. You are very charming. {He blinks and tilts his head.} Petting you.

[crooked_tail]

I...am? [He blinked at him curiously at him.]

I get that but why?

[mephistophilus]

Yes. {He chuckles.} You have such soft ears. It would be a sin to ignore them.

[crooked_tail]

Sebastian, it's a very intimate gesture.

[Even as he says that his tail swishes happily as the petting continued.]

[mephistophilus]

Is it? Well I'm afraid, in this, I cannot help myself.

{Look at that adorable tail.}

[ballsoffire]

[Because standing about ten feet away doesn't scream socially awkward or 'weird' or anything. Subtle, Johnny]

It's a waste of time in the end, no point in lying about who you are.
