[Since he was a butler, his private joke flies right over her head and she was thinking in her mind that he must have been one of the most humble butler's she's encountered.]
It's wonderful to meet you, Sebastian. My name is Sonia Nevermind, I'm a princess of the country; Novoselic.
[She would have given him a polite courtsey but for some reason it didn't seem like she could move? The name of his household catches her by surprise and she looks in awe as she repeats the name in her head.]
If I may ask, are the Phantomhive household themselves, nobility? Just the name alone sounds rather noble.
[She feels like she can't move? Well, luckily Sebastian can see to that part, as usual - he easily sinks down on one knee in front of her, in a proper courtly bow. Somehow making the movement look elegant in spite of how he had not planned on doing that one second ago.]
Then I am honoured indeed to meet you, Your Highness, although just like you do not recognise the name of my master, I'm afraid your kingdom is unfamiliar to me. [It's a simple, unapolgetic statement - Sebastian is secure in his knowledge of every known country there is in his world. It's no one's fault they're not familiar to one another.]
You are correct, however: my master is an earl, and his family has long been in the service of the royal house of his country.
[She quickly nods her head, not surprised in the slightest that he hasn't heard about her country.
Despite that Sonia's seen many bows before in her life, this one felt like one of the most elegant ones she's ever seen. His graceful movements, and the quick way he moves, he truly was the picture perfect butler that people would only read about in books! There's a soft smile on her face as she does a little curtsey in response.]
Not many people have heard of my country, so I'm quite used to it. We are but a small nation, so it's to be expected.
Wow! That's so impressive! [She looks in awe and amazement by his lineage] His family sounds very powerful and I'm certain that the royal family relies on them quite a lot. If possible, I would love to meet him one day. What country are the two of you from?
My master's country is called England - it is a small but influential kingdom with a ruling queen. [That's different from "where the two of you are from", but... Sebastian isn't really an Englishman, after all, and it wouldn't do to lie.]
My master is here, as a matter of fact - your wish may be granted at any time it pleases you, ma'am. The young master would be honoured to host you.
[He probably wouldn't like it, because the socialite lifestyle is a necessary evil to Ciel, but well... "honoured" isn't the same as "pleased".]
Ah, England! I've been there several times, myself. That's quite impressive that he's an earl that helps the royal family over there. It is truly a marvelous country.
[Luckily, she doesn't catch on to only part of the question being answered, she just assumed that he was from England, as well. Truly a naive princess.]
That's wonderful that he is here too! If possible, it would be such an honor in of itself to meet him, much less be hosted by him! I absolutely can't wait.
I shall inform my master, then, and contact you with the details as soon as possible, if that is acceptable. [Anyway, Sebastian will need to do some investigations before letting a stranger into the young master's home. How likely is Sonia to carry hidden weapons, for example? Just the necessary precautions, you know.]
But I see - so England is known to you. [Well. Some things seem to stay the same between worlds.] Then I deeply apologise for explaining matters needlessly. It is forward of me, of course, but may I ask what brought you to England?
Of course! That is perfectly acceptable. Thank you for taking the time to schedule a get together.
[She was pretty excited to meet his master and see what kind of person he was. Such precautions are always needed! Especially when you look at her canon]
It is fine! Our worlds could be vastly different. [It was something that she was slowly starting to learn after running into so various of people here.] I don't mind sharing at all. Although I am afraid to admit, it wasn't for anything special! I was merely traveling. Just typical meeting of royal families.
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?]
That is very much true! [She quickly shakes her head.] It's not presumptuous, at all! In fact, it has helped me to truly realize how important that meeting was. So once again, I must give you my humble thanks. Let's see... the last time I saw her, I believe she was in good health?
[The answer was vague, but she felt like for now, it was the best answer to give. Especially considering that he couldn't say how AU!Queen was doing now, with how the current conditions of her word is like. Plus, she hadn't met her in so long that she truly didn't know what to say.]
[ooc: No worries!! Sorry for the slow reply on my part as well! Oh my gosh, thank you so much for telling them because YES I would love to log this meeting.]
