When Ciel arrives in the throne room suprisingly thr Queen is not on her throne but wandering around the strangely empty room. Usually full of courtiers at this time of day and bustling with those demons brave enough to come to the Queen herself for justice. She looks up at Ciel and turns to go back to her throne with a sigh. "Well now that you are back I'm sure that the rest of the courtiers will turn up soon to hear about your adventures... Did you find my ice cream?" She asks the last tucking her feet under her on the throne.

Ciel nods and curtseys low.
"Master Thane has brought it in Majesty. Would you like me to fetch it for you?"

The Queen shakes her head.
"No, that's alright- I'm sure it will get to me one way or another. You look rather worse for wear.. what did go on out there?" She motions for Ciel to sit before her.

A faint jingling can be heard echoing off the palace walls in the throne room and a loud screeching is getting louder and louder and abruptly stops for a moment as the Throne room door begins to open and Thane's large back is entering as he is tugging on some odd contraption. The device looks like it is not wanting to enter the door so easily. A low cursing can be heard till Thane gives it a mighty tug when he and the little buggy stumble into the room backward and nearly fall onto the floor. Thane stops for a moment and turns to face his Queen with a bow. "Your glory, We present to you your items requested from the market place." Thane bellows trying to save face from stumbling in.

Ciel nods rather slowly as she sits in front of her Majesty's feet. "Anger rather does tire me Majesty. All was nice until we found the pretty traitor. She made me want to kill her just by looking at her...I have only felt that once in my existence and did not know what to do. And I had to kill a demonling out there. The rage that filled me was incomparable at that point. I do feel tired now Majesty..."
She leans on her Majesty's legs, purring tiredly.

Her Dark and Malicous Majesty gives Thane a geniune smile as he bellows.
"I hope, my good hound that your clumsiness out of battle is equal to your grace in it- if so then I have found another jewel as rare as my general. That doorway does seem to take delight in tripping people up."
She looks down at Ciel and raises an eyebrow.
"A pretty traitor- and why would you have to kill a demonling, Ciel? What in hell where you two doing!" She looks up at Thane with narrowed eyes and snaps out.
"What do you have to report, Elite?!"

Thane stands cold and firm as Ereshkigal snaps out. The hound straightens to stand tall as he gives his report. "Dreaded magnificence, Our errand is complete and all items you have requested have been aquired... along with a few gifts we have brought back with us." Thane says boldly. Thane approaches the Throne with the buggy and parks it a few feet away for his queen to view easily. He reaches into his satchel and lays out the contents on the carpet before the throne. "We also have acquired your ice-cream my magnanimous Queen." Thane grabs the demonling off the buggy and hold him for her to view. "While completing our quest, we ran into an old acquaintance that your highness may recognize." Thane lays the little demonling on the floor next to the items presented to his queen. "I believe you remember Thon... The accomplice to your hand maiden and treacherous thief Celesta, My Queen." Thane says with pride. "During our search for the ice-cream we discovered her hiding out in the Bazaar selling off stolen wares from the palace, relics from the city landmarks and the mortal realm." Thane continues, "During my search of her shop I found these..." Thane pulls the maps to the palace and dossiers of intended to be 'eyes only' from the queen to officials about the city and surrounding territories. "About the death... Ciel simply acted to my order to stop Thon from fleeing with your ice-cream." Thane then opens the buggy and produces the green box with the green tea ice-cream pops and he approaches the Throne with the treat and kneels before Ghostie presenting her with the frozen treat. "With our gratitude my Queen... Celesta awaits her punishment in your dungeon as we speak."

The queen leans forward to peruse the items laid out before her. She doesn't seem particularly concerned about Thon bleeding on her floor. She nods at the various trinkets and takes the ice cream, tucking it into the fabric of her dress. At the mention of Celesta she jerks and her breath comes out in a hiss.
"You found Celesta? And you brought her back, along with missing documents and maps. You do realize that I decreed that any one who found that traitrous little thief should gain a boon from me. Lady Ciel- Elite Thane what do you desire as your boon?"

Thane looks to Ciel briefly then the floor, if his face wasn't covered in fur he would be blushing. He stands silent for a moment and speaks. "My honor and duty is to protect you and defend our empire my Beloved queen... My life is yours... but my heart aches for something... more... Thane stands silent thinking of Lady Tre'Maya as the memory of her scent dances across his mind briefly. " May I take a rain check of your royal generosity your dark beauteous majesty... I fear more work is to be done before Celesta and her gang are through." He then looks up at Ghostie with determination flaring in his red eyes. "My instinct is telling me that Celesta has not been working alone and she may have sold or given more classified documents and relics to a superior or senior accomplice..." Thane says changing the subject. "That information I have been unsuccessful in retrieving... Where your legendary powers of persuasion may be able to access where mine have fallen short your Grace."

Ciel looks up at her Majesty and a smile flits across her face. "If it be anything my heart desires Majesty, I would like to request something personal as well. Would it be greatly difficult for me to be able to see my kittens? The sisters that I lost so long ago? It would mean...the world to me, Majesty..."
She dropped her chin back to resting near her Queen's legs and sniffled barely audibly.

The queen nods at Thane.
"I will find out what I can and when I do I will see that you are informed and that you will gave competent guide in the city to help you. Since you've been getting along so well with Ciel I'm sure you'll enjoy working with Satarel." She pauses to look down at Ciel
"Your mission will be two-fold. Discover who if anyone Celesta was in contact with and with Satarel's assistance find Ciel's sisters. I will see to it that you get all the information you need before you begin your quest."
A rotting creature scuttles out from the edge of Her majesty's dress, across the floor and out of the throne room.
"I've sent a message to have Celesta transfered to my tower. You'll have your information shortly. Is there anything else?"

Ciel's tired yet pretty face broke into a wide smile and she purred. "Thank you Majesty. Thank you so much!"
She put her face back into her Majesty's legs and rubbed her head there softly.

"By your command my Empress... So shall it be done." Thane says deeply with a bow. "Yes my Queen, I have but one more question." The black hound says with angst in his voice. "Where may I seek out this... Satarel... your vile evilness mentions?" Thane asks reverently, "I am anxious to begin this mission... Haste will be to our advantage as word of Celesta's capture is sure to create a stir in the underground... I want to be there to pick off these spineless ingrates in the name of the throne, before they can recover their losses or regroup to pool their resources and flee the city." Thane says with an evil scowl.

The Queen giggles.
"I haven't the faintest idea where Satarel is just now. How ever I will make sure that you are able to find him after I am done with Celesta. Satarel is a rather interesting individual. I'm sure even if you can't find him he'll find you." She shrugs a little.
"Now then.. I beleive that I have the business of find out what and who Celesta knows. I will have the information to you in a timely manner." She stands as she says this and strokes Ciels hair.
"Come Ciel.. we have work to attend to."

Thane bows again as Ghostie and Ciel depart the Throne room. He calls out after them "Leave a meaty piece for me..." Thane says as he licks his lips. After they have gone Thane begins to tidy the room and put away the items he had laid out before. He carefully places each piece back into the satchel and he places it next to the Throne. Thane has the look of boredom so he leaves the throne room for a moment and returns moments later with a trash bag for Thon and a large meaty bone to gnaw on while he waits for his queen to return with the precious information vital to his mission.

Ciel nodded and followed her Queen out of the room. Before leaving the room, she turned and softly called to Thane, "Do not worry Master Thane. I most certainly will."
