[ There's the hush of night in the background, a snapping twig or two, and then Sebastian's voice, quiet and a little far away, thanks to the 'Gear being on his belt. ]
Hard to believe that it's only going to get colder. It reminds me of a place I left long ago.
[ He's silent for a moment, and a breaking branch sounds close to the 'Gear. ]
It's going to be a bleak few days, but thanks to the generosity of one Miss Tifa Lockhart, I believe we'll manage. Miss Lockhart - you should know that I have no intention of letting this kindness go unmatched. Expect a token of our gratitude, and of course, should you ever need anything, we certainly owe you a favour.
Miss Chrome, you'll have to tell me where you're staying in Violet City. As soon as we've arrived and the young master has been tended to, I'll be seeking you out to deliver your presents. Unfortunately, they're likely to be even later, if it continues snowing - I'm afraid we may not make it into the city for another week, or nearly that. My sincerest apologies.
And young master - I can hear you from here. You do know that Astaroth is only trying to follow my instructions, don't you? I asked him to keep you warm in my absence. [ There's just the barest lilting, mocking pout. Getting back to the usual banter with Ciel will help things greatly, he thinks. ]
I beg that my fellow travelers take care; it's only getting colder.
[ Another branch splinters up close, and the feed goes silent. ]
