"That you did, yes. It was very much an unforgettable one." She agrees with a nod, according his sense of drama humor the seriousness it deserves. It could be inferred that Emet-Selch most likely spoke to the Regent later to get his mark removed, one WOULD wonder what else they may have talked about. That's Emet-Selch's business though, and as much as the topic may be more attractive than the one they're all stuck with now, THIS is what they have to deal with at the moment.
As the Ascian finishes offering his perspective over the matter, Ciel takes a longer silence to digest it all. He... Really isn't human, is he? The clinical and utilitarian analysis he provides from his point of view does highlight Emet-Selch's thought process, and it's one that does NOT account for human feelings (irrationality), that's the sense of what she gets when she considers his lack of humanity. 'Crutch'. 'Control'. The lack of empathy is rather glaring. Howl is highly emotional, she's witnessed it herself, but reacting like he had towards Emet-Selch simply 'because I'm a figure of authority'? She already knows that's not the case, or at least, not the full of it. Howl had said it himself: 'He lied to me. Over and over.' She resigns herself to the fact that she will probably not get a simplified version of events from the man she's having tea with either, though speaking of which, she will take a careful sip of the tea while she mulls over what she knows more thoroughly.
The sailor analogy Howl made. That she's never going to find out what really happened, because both these men are simply Like That. She'll need to address this without facts then, is that even possible? She's already upset Howl with being too direct also, though thinking on it, she actually knows him better on a personal level than she does Emet-Selch...
The cup is gingerly put back onto the saucer plate with a quiet clink.
"Is that why you think he's upset with you? Because you may control him?" She's already aware that this is NOT why Howl is upset, but after talking with him earlier (and arguably messing it up, but she DID get valuable information too), it would seem that relying on their individual subjectivity may actually be key.
