[When Ciel appears on the screen, he look far from pleased -- his expression, noteably more sour than usual, is emphasized by the slightly unkempt hair that makes him look as though he's just rolled out of bed. The kid apparenlty is also incapable of dressing himself; his shirt is buttoned crooked, and his thin bow tie, is more of a knot than a bow.]

Has anyone seen my butler? He's mysteriously absent as of this morning, and I've been unable to contact him.

Yes. I assume you're not familiar with the structure of a household of European nobility. The primary function of a butler is hospitality -- greeting and attending to guests, as well as seeing to his Master or Mistresses needs. For another, a butler oversees all other servants within a household.

[Nope. He's not even heard of Europe. :|a ]

So he's like... head servant? Okay, yeah, we had those...

[dealwithademon.livejournal.com]

For all intents and purposes, yes. [Well, then this boy's speech probably sounds awful funny! He definitely has a British accent, which makes him sound kind of snobby. ... which, he kind of is, but that's beside the point.]

[forged_anew]

[Pause. Uuuuh.]

What's 'European'? The name of your estate?

[dealwithademon.livejournal.com]

[Sigh. Good thing Ciel understands that this place is full of uninformed individuals. Still irritating though.]

European, is the term for those of Europe. Europe is a continent, and within it, there are many countries. I myself come from the isle nation of England, otherwise known as Great Britain.

[sigh.] I should probably stop being surprised I've never heard of places.

And you're probably going to tell me you've never heard of the Four Nations so... we're even.

[dealwithademon.livejournal.com]

You'd be correct in that assumption. Where I come from there are far more than four nations.

[forged_anew]

How many are there?

[dealwithademon.livejournal.com]

Too many to count. I couldn't give you an exact number. The world is constantly changing, and I'm sure there are some regions yet unexplored by civilized men.

[forged_anew]

Oh. Okay... [sounds huge...]

What kind of country is yours?

[dealwithademon.livejournal.com]

What... kind? [Huh. No one's ever asked him that, exactly. He's not really sure how one would describe England to a foreigner... Sohma never asked, or really seemed to care.] England is a prominent nation, ruled by Her Majesty Queen Victoria. The empire of Great Britain includes the isle of Scotland, with great influence over America, India, and much of Europe. We are leaders in industry and travel, as well as Trade.

[He doesn't know any of the name, but he certainly understands the rest, especially that empire bit.]

It sounds kind of similar to the Fire Nation, being an industrially advanced island nation.
