first, I want to thank you for taking the time to read and comment, I really do appreciate that you would take the time to! ❤️
As far as Sebastian's physiology goes, there is actually no canon explanation for how his body functions. Only theories based on what we see. So while in the Murder arc, he does get mistaken for a corpse, he also has the ability to bleed, which we also see in the Murder, Luxury Liner and Green Witch arcs. You cannot bleed without a pulse. So my assumption is he can control his body down to a heartbeat. The entire point of his disguise is to appear as human possible. Any of the decisions I make in a fic is very carefully considered, and I've talked at length to people who have been in the fandom longer than I have about what is potentially canon and what of my own creation would work. The decision was made very carefully.
But ultimately what it comes down to, is that this is my story, and I can write him how I'd like to. The entire premise is that he is slowly becoming a bit more human, and it's scary and unnerving to him, a creature who has not changed in centuries. So it's partly just including what's fun for me to write, and also what adds more to the story, while still writing things in a way that would be believable in a canon setting.
as far as Lady's name goes, Ciel was never actually expecting Sebastian to come back, so the name was picked entirely because he liked it. He did find the idea that the lady of the house would be a dog, because he made the decision he would never marry. So it was mostly just a fun joke for himself. Lol
