“We gotta get back quickly, huh..?”
The blonde pouts at this, tapping a finger against his chin for a moment in an almost thoughtful gesture. When he seems to reach a conclusion he nods, moving forward and very casually hefting the small Earl up, holding him in his arms.
“Alright, then this is the fastest way, right?”
"Yes, we do,” Ciel confirmed with a serious frown upon his brow. Finnian could be a little slow at times, compared to his butler at least, yet now that Sebastian had been sent to tend to more urgent issues, Finnian was all that he had left. The boy had a good heart, and he had never failed him - unless ruining a few gardens counted as large scale failures - and for now, Ciel decided to trust him.
Finnian picked him up, a little different from Ciel’s usual humanoid ride, but not unpleasant. He made sure Finnian had a secure grip of him before he pulled out a wrinkled map of the underground water network system. Once they would confirm their location, everything would be fine and dandy when it came to making their way out of the sewer network.
An explosion shook the tunnel behind them. Ciel frowned and swallowed.
“Keep going!” he said. “They’re not far behind us. And if I tell you to take a turn, you must react immediately. Do you understand, Finnian?”
