Sebastian's Use of Body Language to Assert Dominance

Manga spoilers.

Sebastian may be relatively tall (although not even in the top half of butlers in kuro when it comes to height), but he is not physically intimidating. Both Mey-Rin and Baldroy initially describe him as a 優男, basically a tall, slender man who looks gentle and delicate.

This is advantageous as a butler, who should fade into the background when serving. However, as a demon and an instrument of the Queen's Watchdog, Sebastian utilizes body language to assert dominance and control.

We can see this in his aggressive eye contact, physical touching, and invasion of personal space.

He's communicating that he's in control of the situation,

ensuring he gets what he wants with minimal fuss.

The only person I remember being uncowed is William.

Rarely, we see others use the same tactics on Sebastian himself. Sometimes successfully unsettling him:

Sometimes not:

Unsurprisingly, Sebastian's body language with Ciel contains enormous variation. In the beginning he has no respect for Ciel and communicates that, although he's temporarily in his service, Sebastian is the one in control.

Even after he settles into his role as a butler, Sebastian frequently shirks etiquette with his master.

Sometimes he uses authoritative body language to correct Ciel's childish or indecorous behavior.

At other times, the situation is so dire that Sebastian decides to immediately take charge, signaling this to Ciel by suddenly dropping any pretense of deference.

(Some of this is also clearly fanservice, but this post is attempting a Watsonian rather than Doylist explanation.)

Outside of these situations, and especially in front of others, Sebastian's body language toward Ciel is perfectly deferential (although sometimes at odds with his antagonistic or teasing words)

When acting as a butler, he refuses to sit in his master's presence, standing when Ciel enters a room and giving him the most authoritative chair.

He often waits for Ciel's signal before acting.

And when Ciel displays the strength that called to him across dimensions, Sebastian even humbles himself and bows to him on bended knee.

This single handedly cured my depression

Don't be scared, kiddies. After all, it was only a story. Still, if on some Halloween you pass by a spooky old house that wasn't there a moment before, please come in and say, "Hello." We'd love to have you.

Heya! I saw that you were doing drawing requests and I'm absolutely in love with the bbs space au so I was wondering if you could draw S.A.R.K. interacting with/commenting on another bbs crew member? That's probably a lot to ask for? But I love every part of the space au and Sark is by far my favorite character of it. <3

Oh my goodness! Can we please have more sweethearts like you!?!? I’m so flattered and honored to make a space AU request! I’ll take any space AU requests, I love it like a child and will take any excuse to draw it. You certainly can have a S.A.R.K. piece! I’m happy you like his character so much. He’s definitely an interesting guy. :D I hope you like it, and don’t be afraid to ask for something space AU related! That goes for all of you, making space AU stuff is my favorite! ♥ ♥ 

“Smooth, Kid. Real fucking smooth. Are you always this charming to newcomers, or is it just for him?”

“Fuck off, Sark. You know I’m not a people person!”

“Oh, I know. Honestly, you couldn’t have been more awkward if you tried. Nice first impression.”
