And not surprising. So Abel already sank his sticky paws onto M too, huh? Ciel spends a split second wondering why, curious and human that she is. Was it back during their time inside that cave, or the trip there from the shrines? Or some time after that, like Venera perhaps? That M dissipated Estinien is common knowledge among the Kenoma. Knowing Abel's part as one of the Innocence-bound means he's certainly closely associated with Estinien, which she already knew since the Pleromas' escape from the caves as Abel was the one who guided Estinien away from her. (She has yet to pay him back for that mauling... And she is in no hurry to.) Would Abel have reached out to M, Estinien's murderer?
A pointless question with a foregone answer. The abrupt cessation of M's feelings already implies enough. Her professional courtesy mired with a vague sense of interest shifts into something almost derisive and contemptuous, M may very well be the first Kenoma to experience this facet of her none other on their side had ever come close to glimpsing.
It's not directed at him per se, no, but towards that gap she will not leave unaddressed.]
Please do. [A beat.] That self-professed priest isn't giving you second thoughts, is he?
