There is no need to thank me for simply doing my job, ma'am, [he comments mildly.]

Ah, but when royal families are concerned, the mere act of meeting can carry great importance, can it not? It is somewhat presumptuous of a butler to speak thus, but I hope you found Her Majesty in good health. [It's a deliberate assumption, talking as if this other version of England has a queen. If Sonia has met AU!Queen Victoria, that would be a good thing to be aware of.]

[ooc: Sorry for the late reply! I told Ciel's player about this thread, and she'd be interested in making a log of this meeting, if you're up for it?]
