[from here]The institute was behind them now, though it was going to be a long while before its looming silhouette would disappear from view

With both of them confirming that they understood his advice, there wasn't much more to say on the matter. Guy knew that the other two were sharp enough to notice that sort of thing now that they were aware of it, so he focused on keeping his own two eyes peeled just in case. Thus far it had been surprisingly quiet and almost calm out amongst the snow. Maybe those monsters really didn't like the cold and had all gone in search of shelter. If that was the case, then he had no problem bearing the low temperatures.
When Anise mentioned that they were getting close, Guy looked up and tried to figure out what it was that made her think that was the case. The only thing that stood out was an absence of trees a short distance away, but it was hard to see more than that with the snow falling.
"Looks like it might be, yeah." Guy realized it wasn't necessarily something to be glad about, and yet he picked up the pace nonetheless. The promise of gaining more information about this place was enough to make him forget how cold he was. He knew the ruins wouldn't offer warmth or even comfort, but he wasn't looking for those things in the first place.
Though he wasn't sure what to expect, Claude was glad to hear they were almost there. From what he could see, at least, it was definitely starting to look like they were approaching something. The lack of trees stood out more than anything, of course, but that meant they'd likely find their ruins somewhere around here. The sooner, the better, honestly. While their trip had been pretty uneventful so far, Claude wasn't so sure how long they could push their luck.
There was no reason to waste time. Claude glanced at his companions before focusing on the path ahead of them.
"Come on," he encouraged them. "Let's check this place out." As he trudged through the snow, he tried his best not to think of the sturdy leather jacket he'd left behind in his room.
