[What a week. Between the chaos in Achamoth and the aftermath of it all, there was plenty to keep someone like Ciel busy. The only feeling that came with the Sanctifier's defeat and the capture of its vessel was grim relief. This was work, plain and simple, and for all the plotting and the villainous touches, Ciel never took a shred of it personally.
Which makes the contrast between her and Silco all the more interesting, maybe. She didn't think much about her state of dress, having picked a robe with silver accents that bore a more official air over her usual plain ones without much deliberation. She had been meaning to get back in touch with Silco though, things did 'work out' in the end despite all the bumps along the way. So when their eyes meet and he tips his glass in her direction, the gesture is returned, though it's mostly a show of formality from her part. Her gaze does linger over his appearance for a moment before she saunters over his side to join him, and it's strange, honestly unexpected, for her to recognize some form of alleviation in herself at the sight of him. Silco, usually very cautious and closed off, is positively beaming in satisfaction tonight. At least some of them are doing great today, and things that make their allies happy should be celebrated. Not that Ciel is unaware enabling can be detrimental, but they did take down a constant thorn at the Kenoma's side and captured the entity that the Regent wanted. Their boss was content with the results too, so they've evidently done their job.]
Good evening, Silco.
[Ciel doesn't have it in her to smile for the occasion, at least not now, but she does offer a small and polite bow of acknowledgement with her greeting. They've sure done it, haven't they?]
