[Like anyone else, Ciel feels a lot. As a Victorian, however, he has been forced to mask ninety-five percent of this from the rest of the world. Two of the things that make him feel the most are books and music. He can appreciate both without having to speak at all.
Of course, Victorians are going to ask opinions, but while listening, while reading, Ciel doesn't have to talk at all, doesn't have to be someone he's not. He doesn't have to say a word, only hear.
Like now, here, even with Shinji, the boy he curtly tried to help who punched him in the face. All he has to do is listen to the music filtering into his ears through the small buds.
It's a while before he reaches up to slowly pull one of the earpieces out, and he sits with just that single one in his lap for a moment or two, eye looking down at it but not seeing it necessarily.]
