[ Despite the change in worlds and seasons, some things remain the same.
Which is to say, Eustace and Ciel are out at some restaurant like they used to, enjoying a meal (and also a drink) like they used to, discussing...........not work, like they—hey wait a minute. (They'll get to work soon enough.)
Ciel, thankfully, is looking much better than before, both color and expression returned to her face and her voice much more coherent than before. It's relieving to see, his own mood bolstered by this apparent return to normalcy. If he had a tail, it would be gently wagging right now but I simply cannot be bothered to try and remember an extra appendage a second time. Hopefully she never falls that low again.
He takes a bite of his sandwich - shockingly good, the bread nice and crusty and the sliced meats well-seasoned - making sure to chew and swallow before he asks: ]
Have you found a job yet?
[ Okay, they're talking about a work now, close enough. ]
