Reporting in with Ciel!

Not really sure what kind of skills I want. He'd probably do whatever work was offered him to the best of his capabilities, rather than requesting something specific. I suppose he'd be most likely to pick up skills like basic agriculture, scavenging, honing weapons skills, maybe some first aid or something. 

And as to an occupation, the same goes as above. Being 11 (12 by the end of the timeskip), he doesn't really have a specialty. Which isn't to say that he's not good at anything, just that there's no particular field of work he's been trained in. Again, it would be in his nature to take whatever position he was asked to take and try to perfect it as best he could. I don't think he's the kind of kid who would make suggestions or advocate for a specific position, because he's highly conscious of what kind of impression he's making on others. Wouldn't want to seem pushy. 

So all in all, taking his age and personal demeanor into account makes it a bit hard to predict what kind of skills he'd pick up over such an extensive period of time, but I did my best. Sorry if this was an unsatisfactory read.
