Did he really tell you that? [Yeah, he still needs to get mad at Ciel for this.] Ciel has always loved taking people away from me so that I'd be left alone. [Claude liked Ciel better. Now Gilbert likes Ciel better too. Alois doesn't know if he can stand it.]

By this you mean my attempt at being kind and offering you cake, or my asking you to do your job and help me?
