[ Bruno can be found standing apart from any of the crowds beginning to filter into the square where the pyres are being set up. They're making final preparations, meaning the actual time of the execution is hours off from now still, and he has no idea why he's even here, looking on. Achamites are arriving so early to get the best spots with the best views, the atmosphere is full of excitement, festive even.

All that does is make Bruno feel nervous. It's not that he's never seen people die. He's a prophet. He's seen plenty of death. It's just that they've all been quiet deaths, people passing away of old age in a magical valley where no one gets sick for long or stays hurt, and there were certainly no executions.

He's still dwelling on it when Makoto steps up to his side and speaks. It elicits a start, a small jump, and a tiny step away to the side as he turns to look at him.

What? [ It takes a second for him to realize what's been said. Oh. Yeah, all of this being a lot to take in is sure right. ] Uh, s-sure. You're... M, right?

[ The voice is familiar and Ciel had helpfully given him the demon's name when he'd forgotten to ask himself before. Also, you know, that he's a demon. That isn't going to do anything for Bruno's nerves, sorry. ]
