[It doesn't help that his Persuasion ranks are so low - that or he must have rolled a 1 on it and failed miserably, though in all likelihood the man was just too ~proper~ to try and insist. For all the serious airs that she puts on and everything that she's been through, Ciel has only been conscious for 21 years of her life, and had the body of a 17 years old. ...The teenage girl who enjoys to be pampered was just firmly locked away, with the seal doubled thanks to her memory loss, mainly because the mature woman who nagged but also looked after others was much more needed in a setting as such.

[Cain sure threw a fuss about it... but she's teasing there.]
