Ciel didn't quite know what to expect of this boy, and while not seeing him a threat he didn't fully trust Alex either. Once Sebastian departed the tailor wasted no time in getting to work, immediately approaching the young earl and withdrawing a tool of his trade. In an unexpected and sudden motion he felt his nightie be whisked away, blinking before staring at Alex abashed. "What in the hell do you think you're doing?" he asked indignantly, feeling rather exposed. As he should, he was now only stood in his britches. Since when was it necessary for him to be stripped in order to be measured? Ms. Baker never did this, maybe it was just a downside of Alex's inexperience. There was little that could be done sans putting on his nightie again, and Ciel had a feeling it'd only be whisked off again if he were to wear it again. On a small reflex a hand went to the band of his britches, grasping it while staring at Alex warningly as he was circled. "[I]These[/I] stay on, understood?"

Since taking away clothing didn't seem demeaning enough Alex took one of Ciel's arms in his grip, an innocent enough gesture. Up until he stroked along its length with a fingertip, making the earl fidget uncomfortably. Closing his eyes and sighing he strained himself not to make a sharp retort, opening one to peer over at Alex accusingly. "I've heard enough about my damned skin to last me a lifetime... Do not start commenting on it..." he hissed softly, drawing his arm back. He was being treated more like a curiosity than a patient, how bothersome. Just when he figured he was free from being toyed with a cool hand was abruptly placed on his chest, making him look at Alex wide eyed in surprise. His cheeks flushed a light pink in embarrassment as his hair was then played with, gritting his teeth and trembling as his hair was tousled a bit. "Enough!" Ciel snapped, reaching up and snatching Alex's wrist, pulling his hand away. "Do what you've come here for then be done with it. I'm not a doll you can inspect at your leisure. If you're going to insist on being difficult I'll have Sebastian come back and show you out, do we have an understanding?"
