[Give it two weeks. That's what they like around here in notice anyway.]
I'm sure they won't, given how things are about to change for my employment. I'll need to make arrangements, but I can't see it being a terrible problem.

[He's... looking forward to the change.]
We did tell you you needed to rest. I hope you haven't been going against your doctor's orders behind our back. She might be cross with all of us if all of her hard work has been spoiled because you just can't be bothered to lie quietly in bed for a little while.

[He just giggles.]
It's your skin, milord, and your business. You'll do with them as you please. [He won't even try to sway the boy in this much.]

[He really didn't move around too much when he was left alone though. His back had hurt too much and he's been so tired. Any papers he needed to fill out, he grabbed and then climbed back into bed.
There's a tiny, halfhearted grumble.]
I didn't do anything to upset it healing... I was too tired.

[Surely he hadn't. He and Vincent would have fussed, or at least nudged him back into bed anyway, or at least to be lying down on some soft, plush surface and resting.]
I know you didn't. But you are your father's son. You don't always do the things that you should if you think you can get away from it, even if they're good for you.

[Their fussing is part of why he's behaved himself. Without them, people who care, he might very well have spoiled the healing patch of skin. He would have gotten very sick even before then if Undertaker hadn't been here and cared.
He can't even argue anything he says either. He did exactly the same thing when he'd been investigating the circus, resting the bare minimum he had to before going to Kelvin's estate.]
Good thing I have you and father close then, to keep me in line. [He gives the man a humored smile.]

[They certainly can't have that, even if the medical advancements of this world blew his mind. There were people he would hope not to see all of this tested on.]
You could say that. All the better to make sure you finish growing nice and healthy in all the ways you can.

[No, they certainly can't. And Ciel wants to avoid hospitals if he can. This has definitely been enough so far.]
I'm sure that won't be a problem. You and several others are always looking after me, and there's no reason here for me to die anytime soon.

[Any time soon. He'll take that over the alternative, but he can't help but ask.]
What about at all?
What about at all?
[Here's a head tilt.]
It's not as bad as you think. What's that look about?

[He has a wider grin for the boy then. Didn't he remember how many charms were on the chain?]
Is that all? I can always help that along if I really want the bed to myself.

[He was joking. Seriously.]
Could have, but have no reason to. You're far more amusing as you are.

[Oh, he's sure the boy is off having a laugh, watching him try to read that. Once he figures it out, he shakes his head with a grin and responds with a voice message, kthx.]
Did he at least ask you to let him measure you? I'd not even consider it unless he did.

[He's sure it was! Which is why he had to try and read it first!]
Could be I'm the only one in this town who knows how to do it right, if that's the way of it. Really then. Unless it's for Albert!
