The Phantomhive Townhouse was a stranger to company. Though it stood proud in the middle of London, very few people came and entered it. The young Lord Ciel was a very secluded boy, and only people very close to him were allowed to enter the abode.

Though, in someway being the Townhouse's Carekeeper felt like an honor to the young prince Soma- being so close to central London, exploring the town and all it's shops and stores had to offer, in some ways it was repetitive. The same faces, the same people, and the only other company within the house was Soma's own butler, Agni. Very few traveled beyond the doors of the townhouse.

So...a new face was always welcome.

Rain poured like bullets. It had been storming all day, and yet Ciel and his Butler had been out all evening, trying to gain information on a recent set of kidnappings of young noble girls in the area. The door of the townhouse closed shut and Soma raced to the parlor to greet his dear friend.

"Ciel! How was your day?" Soma ran to give the boy a hug, not even acknowledging how soaked the boy was, and not caring to listen to his protests of 'Get off of me you brute! Unhand me! Unhand-"

Soma's eyes trailed from Ciel to Sebastian, the terrifying British Butler, to...a new face. A nice one, that was interesting and not too hard on the eyes to look at. The two had left in the morning and returned with a third, who was currently shrugging their coat off.

"Prince Soma, this is our guest." Sebastian introduced the third. "They have been tapped to assist us in solving this case by our noble Queen. They will be staying with us for a time until the missing persons are found and returned home." Sebastian turned to the stranger. "This is Prince Soma, the 26th Prince of Bengal. He is the Care Keeper of the Phantomhive Townhouse."

Soma felt blood rush to his cheeks. Stay here? At he Townhouse? With him? This new face, this lovley new face? He was stunned into silence until prompted to speak from a nudge by his Butler, Agni. He had been staring too long, hadn't he?

"I- Titles do not matter among friends!" He blurted. "You are a friend of Ciel...we have this in common! Because you are a friend of Ciel, you are also a friend of mine! Just call me Soma!"
