As gods and goddesses, should we expect live sacrifices? Depending on the culture, it seems a fairly regular practice.

If you witnessed such an offering, would you praise those responsible? Or would you punish them?

(He keeps this as text because he realizes his expression may not be...charming. But the thought is a little amusing. At least to him.)

Will you abide by what your deity stands for or branch out on your own?

If the culture is terribly ancient and foreign to your morals, what you learn may not be pleasing.

Ah you are connected with the Greeks too?

I am glad you are on good terms with them. You might be quite successful.

If it is indeed unpleasant,
but my god desires it, then...
His wish is what I will do.
Hades is a miraculous god.

If you believe him miraculous then you must celebrate death.

It is not about "Hades" as
portrayed in literature or texts.
This is solely about the integrity
of my god. He would not "celebrate"
death. Death is merely what lurks
within his shadow.

Semantics. Death is what he represents. A sacrifice or two would add to the population of his halls.

As I said, if he decides that
sacrifices are the answer, then
I will stand beside him.
...But other than... certain
cases, he would never kill
another human.

Your morals are changeable, it seems, but you lack your memories. I suppose experiences do dictate our consciences after all.

Yes... I suppose I do.
Perhaps if I remembered, I
would think otherwise. I,
for one, am not fond of
combat... however, seeing
death does not phase me
in the slightest.

Then you must have encountered it before. I cannot say anyone truly loves combat - and if they do I wonder about their sanity - but it can be useful.

<font face=courier new">...Certainly. Not that I would
remember. I am certain there are
people who enjoy the thrill of
combat. It is useful, however,
as long as it can be utilized
properly by the subject.
As you yourself are a god... do
you desire an obedient shinki...
or a rebellious and free-spirited
one?

I prefer an obedient shinki, but I do not mind one who speaks their mind. (As long as they are not bothersome about it.)

I suppose you're confident
that you could handle them
one way or another.

I have had servants since I was a child.

I see. So you're used to
doling out orders. I suppose
a shinki would be no problem.
Do you already have one?

I have two. One is soulless and the other is named Lann.

A soulless... I have never
seen one of those before.
I would pose the question of
what you would do if a shinki
refused to follow orders,
however... for us, it is
nearly impossible. But, in
such a case... would you be
inclined to release your
shinki? Or not?

If they were truly troublesome, I suppose I could fire them. I see no reason to give myself a headache over someone I cannot trust.

Good to know.
...And your name?

[ So he can keep a look out for you... just in case. He's not quite sure of his impression of this person yet. But honestly? If he knew he was a child, he'd actually find him... oddly endearing ~~Sasuke is his brother after all~~. ]

I am the Earl Ciel Phantomhive. (He is hard to miss - or maybe he is too easy to miss what with his small size.)

The Earl. That is a title
I have never heard of before.
Is it something akin to being
a royal?

It is a title of nobility. My family has served the Kings and Queens of England for generations.

England? I have never heard of that
place before. But I seem to come
from a place where many of these
places don't exist. Do you prefer
to be addressed by your title?

Edited 2018-02-07 12:01 (UTC)

The title is ultimately useless here, so I do not mind being addressed as Ciel.

Ciel, then.

You are welcome at my temple should you wish to meet in person.
