He didn't know.

Ciel couldn't help the small sigh that escaped his mouth. Dismay made itself known, the sinking feeling chasing away his previous relief. He was as good as dead if he couldn't leave. Would his family start looking for him? Obviously, but no one would search forever. They would eventually move on. Ciel might never see them again.

The thought made hot tears prick at its eyes, and it shook its head hurriedly. That was uncomfortably unexpected. He cleared his throat, attempting to save face, as the other boy continued. Ciel couldn't look him in the eye for a little, wondering if he caught the way his eyes likely shone with uncried tears for that split second. How embarrassing...

"Alright," he agreed, not really seeing another path to finding out. "Lead the way, then." Ciel wasn't going to turn down free help. This boy seemed agreeable enough, which boded well.

"Ciel Bissette. What's yours?" It doubted anyone would know of the Bissette's here, but it felt weird not to introduce itself using both names. Although, if anyone could come here, maybe he had a distant relative or two wandering around. Not that it would do it much good. Ciel couldn't imagine helping a relative he didn't know out of the goodness of his heart, so he doubted anyone would do the same for him.

He wondered what this boy had to gain from helping him, as he could see none in his point of view.
