Chapter Text
"Sebastian."
"My Lord?"
"Why are you here?"
"To serve you tea."
"That is not what I meant."
"Then enlighten me."
"Take my words in a philosophical sense."
"Must you not state your intentions clearly?"
"Are you reprimanding me for something you do so often?"
"...."
"...."
"I suppose you mean why I am here in this contract?"
"I already know that. You're here for your prize. Known information is not of interest to me, try again."
"You are assuming things Young Master."
"Hm?"
"Did you mean why I am here as a being? What is my purpose?"
"You prove that intellect worthwhile."
"And you do not, seeing at how you lost the last chess game to me yesterday."
"The first."
"Not the last."
"Quit being arrogant, you overate yourself. It is unbecoming."
"I apologize. I cannot possibly stray away from my usual perfection as a Phantomhive servant now can I?"
"......"
"Glaring suits you well."
"Shut up Sebastian."
"Of course."
"......."
"......"
"......"
"......"
"I take back my order. Now answer my question."
"What one again?"
"Do not humour me Sebastian, I am in no such mood."
"I do not understand why you have interest in such a lowly servant. This is unusual behavior for you."
"I am bored."
"Or course, how could I not recognize such childish inclinations?"
"Insubordination dipped in honey words, how can I not notice such demonic inclinations?"
"Touche young master."
"Sebastian, quit being infuriating and answer."
"Is this just a matter of pride now?"
"That is an order."
"Of course. Well you should know how us demons came about through your Christian faith do you not? Now I exist simply to feed on humans souls and cause chaos and disruption."
"Is that all?"
"What else were you expecting young master."
"It seems a very meaningless experience."
"And humans are much better off?"
"I propose we are born into this world without meaning so we can create it."
"Really now? A very poetic but fickle notion."
"Possibly, but why do things need meaning placed upon them anyway?"
"....."
"What is so humorous?"
"Nothing truly."
"......."
"I just find the ignorance of humans amusing."
"......"
"You deem me unfit for an answer until I explain myself?"
"....."
"Very well then, as a mortal of only thirteen years I understand your misconceptions, but as a immortal being I must say living without any true meaning is quite boring....."
"And?"
"....."
"......"
"......"
"Sebastian."
"And empty."
"....."
"......"
"So you find your life unfulfilling?"
"Who proposed I was speaking out of my own thoughts?"
"Are you?"
"Of course not."
"Really?"
"Why would I think so when you have given me this life?"
