[First Amos, now Carmine. Sebastian is a demon, ergo does NOT count. That seems rather likely, come to think of it: her being a human weapon of some sort, with how she seems used to being mistreated, with all these terrible wounds on her already frail and small body.
The way how she sounds happy, being told that she can die.
The only reason why Ciel can keep the distinction between her soul and humanity (or rather, lack of) so cleanly separate is because her soul had very much been a factor in turning her into what she's become. A detail in the big picture; it doesn't change who they are, it doesn't change what they've done.]
Dying is still painful, so let's try to avoid that if we can help it. [She adds quietly in turn, but otherwise opts to let the other woman take the information as she will.] You won't have to face anything alone though, we're allies and all in the same situation.
[They're alone at the shrine of the Innocent, and no Pleroma is coming. She can easily bring Carmine back to the lodestone in Achamoth, and that will be the end to this little interlude.
...]
Please, hold onto this. [Saying that, Ciel withdraws the Returning Stone from her bag to hand to the other woman: just a shiny little trinket on strings, it'll activate shortly and bring them back without interference. She feels the vial brush against her fingers in the process, but willingly chooses to continue leaving it where it waits.] We should head back soon. In the meanwhile, do you have other questions I could try answering for you? I have food and water on me too.
[If she'd like a snack, or a sip of water, just in case? There's the other drink too, but again, setting that aside for the moment. Just... for the moment.]
