Sebastian slightly blushed as he looked away and covered the eyes of the violinist. "So sorry Lady Isabella and Bochan. I had no idea you two would be...busy before marriage. If you wanted some alone time to do that you should have mentioned something. I would have stayed out later. Well I brought over that famous violinist you were so keen to see for his concert. My gift to you."
Ciel was blushing as well and tried to rebutton his buttons and managed to do it with Sammael forcing him to learn how to dress himself.

The violinist was confused, why was the young lady dressed as a priest? Isabella quickly made herself descent. "James Peters? Really Sebastian?" Her embarrassment quickly changed to delight. "How did you find him?"

"Yes really. He was visiting his father's grave and I happened upon him because he was playing his violin in the cemetery. I told him you were a fan and that Ciel needed advice how to play as well." Ciel was now listening carefully to the violin within his case. Some people had reported hearing a violin play when the children went missing, and Ciel was trying to see if this was the one. No the other one was more demonic.
Ciel smirked as he went over to the violinist. "A Stradivarius? You must be really successful to own such a rarity. Sebastian says I can have one too if I ever master it. Who taught you how to play?" Then again all violins were demonic. It was known to be Satan's favorite instrument.

James gave the young lord a smile as he picked up his violin. " I-i-it was g-g-given to m-me w-when I was very y-y-young. When.....I was taught by the Lord Auberon, King of the fairies." He said, just for a moment hardly stuttering at all. Clearing not needing his glasses to play, he pushed them up on top of his head and lifted the precious instrument cradling it under his chin like a child, holding it tenderly. "Do you know this song my Lady?" He asked Isabella as be lifted the bow to start to play. As soon as the bow touched the strings it was like an instant transformation. The clumsy, timid man with the thick glasses was gone, instead, a strangely handsome young man stood there. The young woman had almost snorted when he mentioned fairies, but when he started to play, all doubt melted away as James made the instrument sing an ethereal tune. It wrapped her in warmth, and filled her heart with a kind of a longing. As James was playing, he closed his eyes, to better feel each note, to draw out the magic in the music. He opened his blue eyes, catching Isabella's transfixed gaze, and subtly nodded. The girl's voice joined in.
Dance me into the night Underneath the moon shining so bright Turning me into the light
James ended the song there. Isabella blinked, as if just waking up. The look of confusion passed and She beamed happily. "That was so Lovely" She put her hands together, sighing. "It was like......being in a beautiful dream." James lowered his violin and bowed. "It was your voice, My Lady that made it lovely."

Ciel couldn't believe that the same man who had been a stuttering fool a few moments ago was the exact same man playing that violin, as though he completely transformed into someone else. He too had been swept away by the beautiful sound, as though he were in a magical kingdom rather then in a run down inn in a small village. It sent chills down his spine and even when it ended he was still in some kind of a trance. No wonder people thought violins were evil.
Sebastian noticed that Ciel wasn't entirely there anymore so he squeezed his shoulder to bring him back to earth. He blinked before shaking himself out of it. "That was indeed a wonderful piece. I can only hope to play like you one day." He was going to keep his eye on him..Really close.

James smiled. "I'm glad! P-Perhaps one d-day y-you will if y-you p-p-put your heart into it." Isabella's smiled faded a little, the way James was looking at Ciel, with that blond hair and blue eyes, that smile looked vaguely familiar. "Later on I'm going to have you prove that to me." ...Alois?
James put his violin down on the table and started groping about for his glasses. "Y-y-your b-butler said that y-your t-taking lessons? Uhm.....D-do you w-want.....a q-quick one W-while I-i-i'm here? " He asked haltingly, still looking for his glasses. "Oh darn! W-Where did I-I-I put them?"

Ciel had instantly been creeped out by that smile but he nervously smiled back out of respect. It couldn't be Alois. This guy was older then him, and taller. "Sure. Let's do a few of them while you're here with us. Sebastian my violin." Sebastian obediently gave his young lord his violin, and Ciel took it out of the case before he got into position. "Please James. Let's begin."

After finding his glasses, James gave Ciel a lesson. "J-Just r-r-remeber to k-keep your f-f-fingers arched as y-your playing." He said, the foureyed stuttering fellow back firmly in place.
Isabella listened to the lesson, all the while looking at James. Yes there was a similarity, as if James could be Trancy's older brother. But He wasn't at all like the psychotic boy they knew, James was timid, forgetfull and clumsy.

Ciel nodded as he relaxed like in his lessons before with Ms. Spencer, and remembered to keep his fingers arched as he began to play a rather simple song. All the notes came out like he wanted him too, and it was played rather well. He got lost in his music, and he was going to try and figure things out when he was able to.
Sebastian knew the secret about him right away, but he kept quiet because he wanted the young master and Isabella to figure it out for themselves. Sebastian began to wonder if like Alois, James was having a thing for Ciel the way he looked at him. He would have to observe and just watch from the distance.

When the lesson was over, James packed up his violin and said his goodbyes. "If y-you are s-s-staying for a w-while, You can c-come by and visit. I-I live just a l-little way out of t-town. Ask the innkeeper for directions." Isabella thanked him, though not before getting a promise from him to come by tomorrow to play for her again. "For you Sweet Lady." James said departing with a friendly little wave.
As soon as he left the inn, James sighed and glanced over his shoulder. "Ciel Phantomhive appears.....That doesn't give me alot of time....." Then hurrying out of sigh he headed back towards the forest.
"He's a wonderful player Ciel." Isabella said. "But...kind of erm...mousy? Not wounder he only plays for smaller audiences."

"I'll be sure to stop by again for some more lessons. Maybe we can do more tomorrow when you come over." He waved good bye and when the violinist was gone he nodded at Isabella. "Yes he's a good violinist, and in a way...I don't trust his motives. He put me under some kind of a trance when he played that I didn't get out of until Sebastian woke me out of. What if he's the one luring the children away? It's only a theory, but I'm keeping my guard up on him."
Sebastian smirked. He was getting warmer.

Ciel had nodded at the idea of supper and they all sat down together to enjoy their meal. Knowing that they would want some more alone time Sebastian had left the manor in search of James Peters. He must know something about Alois, and he just wanted to see if his theories about James was correct. He had asked the front desk for directions, and when he got there he knocked on the door.

"I had a feeling that you might come Demon!" James' voice came from the roof, the violinist was standing on the roof of the house. "You may be able to change your appearance, but you can't fool me. Where are all the children you stole away?" James yelled down at the butler, he was holding his violin under his chin, holding the bow just above the strings.

Sebastian sighed. "So you know that I'm a demon don't you? Well I didn't take those children away, but I'm investigating who really did, or rather my young master is. He works for the Queen on the underground circuit. I'm his faithful servant on an eternal contract with him, and I'm not allowed to take anyone else's soul, so I'd have no reason to steal those children. Tell me you remind me a lot of a person I used to know. Do you know anything about a boy named Alois Trancy?"
