(Heaven's BBS)
From: Asteria
Date: October 24th
(The scene is rather comical. Ciel is frozen before a rather fluffy grey cat. What can there be to fear from such an adorable creature?
And then there is a wheeze. It is a dangerous sound, foretelling the closure of vital airways.)
I can't - (The young Earl coughs into his hand, backing away from the cat with quick, unsteady steps. As a result, he ends up tripping over a box of books and landing hard on his wooden floor.) Ah - !
(He rolls onto his side, trying to speak again.) Asthma - Cats -
Get away! (Because the small beast is in hot pursuit, interested in the boy's antics. Why is this human acting so strangely? Does he have food?)

[Wait, no. Even Lann knows that question is dumb.]
Where are you?
no subject
(Nope, not finishing that sentence. Too busy hacking up a lung.)
Move to action?
On my way.
[He doesn't bother saying anything else, just hangs up and runs for the conservatory. He still doesn't know what a conservatory is, but he knows which room Ciel calls the conservatory. So... close enough.
A few minutes later he bursts through the door. Probably scaring the honk out of that poor cat.]
Where is it?
(Action)
... (Ciel hasn't managed to get to his feet and his wheezing is worse. The cat does indeed jump at the suddenly intrusion and it hisses sharply, revealing its teeth.)
Th- (The small Earl points shakily, but there really is no need since the cat seems to refuse leaving his side. Maybe this isn't a normal feline.)
(Action)
[It's a little smaller than he'd expected. And none of the weird colors or strange features that usually mark an ayakashi. But it's clearly using some weird poison power on Ciel, so... it has to be an ayakashi.
Which means there's only one thing to do.]
Line!
[He's obviously been working on his aim, because the line springs up in the narrow space between his god and the deadly ayakashi(?) and doesn't slice through either of them.
Progress!
It is a few feet too long on each side and cleanly slices a lovely vase and table holding said vase in half.
Oops.]
(Action)
L-Lann. (He tries to sound authoritative, worried despite his tough facade.) Careful!
(The line shaves a few years off of his life when it first appears - he remembers Lann's track record - but when he opens his eye again, it's...in the right place. Leaning his head back on the floor, he tries to even his breathing, his chest rising and falling awkwardly.)
Scare it...outside.
(Their foe (?) growls and edges away from the line, eyes glowing ominously.)
(Action)
[Only scare it? He's a little confused about why they'd let a dangerous ayakashi in disguise escape, but... Ciel's the boss.]
Uh, you got it.
[The markings on his arm light up to form the increasingly familiar silver gauntlet that means he's about to summon one of his adorable pets.
In this case, the behemoth. Which will certainly scare the kitty.]
Fang! Chase that thing out of here.
[Chasing cats seems like delightful fun. It very happily complies. What follows probably brings to mind a proverb about bulls in china shops.
Hopefully the conservatory didn't have too many breakable objects in it.]
(Action)
Just in case.
But Lann has it well in hand. Sort of. Ciel grimaces as his furniture is broken and glass shattered. But, on the up side, the cat is only to happy to escape out of one of said broken windows, leaping to safety with a yowl.
In the wake of the creature, Ciel collapses into one of the only unbroken chairs, bringing a shaking hand to his face.)
(Action)
Then he runs over the chair Ciel has collapsed in.]
Dude, are you okay? Are you hurt?
(Action)
I have...Asthma. It's...a disease.
Re: (Action)
The ayakashi gave you a disease? Should I get a doctor?
[Actually... can he call a doctor?]
A-are there.. god doctors?
[Fang has given up snuffling near the window for traces of his long gone prey, and trots over to sniff at Ciel curiously.]
(Action)
If not... Hot tea...helps.
(He stiffens at the sensation - he has had bad experiences with dogs - but eventually he pets Fang's head absently.)
Re: (Action)
[Not exactly eloquent, but to the point. Fang tilts his head into the pet affectionately. He did a good job today.]
Tea, huh? Okay, I'll make you some.
[Surprisingly, this is actually something Lann knows how to do. He's better with coffee, but he can make a pretty decent cup of tea as well. He stands up to leave, then pauses.]
You want me to leave Fang here? In case it comes back?
no subject
It's gonna-- keep following if you do that... [They can sense fear probably.]
no subject
Why? (The word is wheezing too. That's not a good sign!)
no subject
It's probably even more interested now
...Are you gonna be alright?
no subject
I have...no intention...of hurting it. But if I must -
(Damn it all, how can he begin to aim in this state?!)
I have...Asthma. I'm allergic to cats.
voice
Do you have medicine for your asthma, or do you need someone to make you some?
[A pause.]
I could also attempt to hex it away.
voice
N-No... The medicine sounds...better.
voice
Or I really could just hex it away, it's not that hard.
voice
(It always has been.)
Hexes sound dangerous.
voice
[#prodigy]
But if the medicine works, just the price of the herbs to make it.

I'll have it over shortly.

Thank you kindly. I will wait for you at the front of the house. (Since his temple is more like a lavish mansion.)
