Alex lets Ciel move his hand away, taking the time to admire the boy's appearance. It was amusing to see Ciel's little blush. Now was Ciel ticklish or flinchy? Perhaps it was time for a fun test. "You've not had much human contact right?" asked Alex before he used his free hand to quickly poke Ciel's armpit once. If it worked, Ciel would probably let go of his wrist, at the same time showing his reflexes. 

Alex then took a step back, giving Ciel his personal space again. "My methods may seem strange and intruding, but I assure you that they are what's needed to give you the perfect fit. After all, you will be in front of royalty. To measure you with clothes on would lead to inaccuracies that show whilst you are sitting down or moving. That is why most people look different when they are not standing. My guarantees that the difference will not exist. Mrs. Baker vouches for efficiency. My goal is perfection" explained Alex as he opened the door a little and reached for his work bag. "The fabric is the most important factor. You will be most presentable when you are comfortable and not hindered by the many decorations"

Alex turned to Ciel, continuing his professional manner as he lit a lightly scented candle. "If you do not mind, can you show me your previous set of royal suits? Rank them by the ones you favour most, followed by least". Yes, there was a serious side to Alex, and he chose to use it to gain Ciel's trust. It would be a wasted opportunity if he was sent packing by that overbearing butler. "And in case you were wondering, the candle is to calm your nerves. You're a tad tense right now and I could not fit you with the right clothes like this. I need you to be more open to me. Tell me what you like and dislike" said Alex with a genuine smile as he picked up Ciel's nightie and held it out for the boy to retake. It seemed Ciel was more conservative in that regard. Hmm... whilst Ciel was putting his clothes back on, it would be a chance to take another sneak peek at his behind. Hehe.
