Ciel groan internally as he stepped carefully across the floor, his feet already hurting from the uncomfortable heels. Why couldn't Sebastian have taught him in these, so he'd at least be used to them by now?! Well, he knew why - in any other circumstance, he shouldn't have had to do this. He hated that he had to at all, but if it was the only way, it was the only way. Though he didn't see why he couldn't have just worn a wig or something...

"Oh my! Your dress is just gorgeous!"

Ciel froze, spinning towards the voice. Sure enough, there stood Elizabeth, who thankfully didn't seem to recognize him. Shit! How was he supposed to respond without giving himself away?! He couldn't let her know, it was far too embarrassing for her to see him like this. Besides, he didn't know if she'd be able to keep quiet about it until he got what he needed...

He nodded shortly in response to her comment, looking away.
