[ The thoughtful noise is soft as he brings a hand to his chin, and he seems to quite seriously consider the answer. Clearly, this is important! Or more likely than that, it's half a chance to show off and half a chance to complain about unreasonable requests. ]
In general or just with my servitude to the young master?
[ Whether it's complaining or showing off, he's bound to be entertained, Sebastian. Don't you know that November's pretty much a glorified gossip? Gotta love information gathers. ]
Curious and selfish is either a very good or a very bad thing to be around a demon, Mr. November.
[ But he's just teasing, since he won't dump Ciel for someone else... Even though recounting this story, he is reminded that sometimes it's tempting. He sighs, then begins to relay the stories. ]
Well, in general, a master of mine many centuries ago wished for the ruin of an army invading his home. Normally, that would not be too terrible, if not for the fact that he did not want for it to come at the cost of revealing what I was. It forced me to get rather creative, since destroying an army through other means is no small task... I ended up deciding to release disease into their ranks, which was effective, but it is terribly difficult to predict how humans get sick. It got a bit out of hand.
[ He caused the Black Plague. That's what he's talking about... ]
As for the young master, his most unreasonable request was certainly that I gather evidence against someone that had wronged him. There was evidence of it, certainly, since the person left letters to blackmail others, but they were prudent about disposing of such letters. I spent an evening digging through a landfill to find every piece of paper, then 'till dawn reassembling it. It was very annoying.

How about both. I'm curious and selfish.
