[To be fair, prep work is also work? More importantly, running into Eustace during the festival had very easily slipped them back into a familiar and comforting routine, which Ciel is more than happy to embrace because she IS concerned about not worrying her friends and acquaintances after... Yeah. Waking up on Kenos and getting the Kenoma detox was awful, but she's better now, she swears! So no sense dwelling over the past and better to keep your eyes fixed towards the future, right? Mhmm!

Besides, good food, good drink, and good company during a time of worldwide celebration... Life is almost too nice and comfy rn, if anything?]

Yes, I have! So much is going on in Springstar at all times, there's always someone looking for an extra pair of hands. I've been able to find a place to stay, I work semi-regularly at a restaurant with a style of cooking I'm familiar with, and I take odd jobs and requests on the side. The days can get really hectic sometimes, but I've been doing okay on my own. What about you?

[Can't force this level of energy and enthusiasm, definitely not. She does take a sip of her drink after, it's fruit juice at her insistance. Her plate of spiced meat with potatoes and vegetables is already half-empty, he's thankfully more than used to her preference towards the eye-watering and unusually large appetite observed without commentary at this point. Besides, a good appetite is a healthy sign!]
