The wait for an answer had been worrying, and BlackBerry momentarily wondered if he should try another entrance. But he had nothing to fear once the labourer opened the door to him looking so tired that Blackberry could only assume there had been other celebrations elsewhere during the night keeping her awake. He thanked her and then waited politely trying hard not to let off another sneeze.

Blackberry was relieved to see Jon safe and sound, and even possibly in high spirits. An eye-ridge raised in confusion at this point, wondering what exactly Cecily had told Jon, or if Jon had worked it out himself that something very bad had happened last night. He then worried about what he would say? How could he explain it? How could he explain to Jon that Toombes was sadly no more. Guilt and anxiety tugged at the edges of Blackberry's smile as he greeted Jon.

[color=00aeef]"Oh! oh, well no reason really. I simply wished to make certain you were well and comfortable after the evenings festivities. I trust you enjoyed yourself?"[/color] Blackberry had not been expecting simple pleasantries this morning. But he dutifully followed after Jon, stomping behind in the mans footsteps through the snow, to the end of the patio where he stopped and turned to look back at the Main House.

[color=00aeef]"Would you happen to have seen Lady Kathryn or Young Lizbeth about, per chance? It is no trouble if not, only I had offered to help them with a-"[/color] Another sneeze caught him off guard. once he had wiped is nose, he continued, [color=00aeef]"With an errand so I shant be able to lend much of a hand today. But if I may accompany you back to the Stables. I should indeed wish to hear how the rest of the evening went on."[/color] BlackBerry reasoned silently that accompanying Jon to the Stables would take hardly any time at all, and then he could go to the Study to join Lady Kathryn and Lizbeth. He wondered if they had found anything.

Following after Jon, BlackBerry could almost feel the grains of sand working against them all and if not careful they would all drown beneath it. Despite the cold, his sneezing, and the weight of the dampening blankets weighing down his shoulders, BlackBerry still managed to move with surprising jittery speed. As they walked his gaze kept drifting round with the fear that something may be lurking just out of sight over a wall or a snow bank ready to leap out and attack them.

[color=00aeef]"I must say I can see why Madame L'Rose suggested we stay for the season for if we had been caught elsewhere when this snow arrived I do not dare think of the outcome."[/color] He put himself between Jon and a particularly suspicious mound of snow. [color=00aeef]"If I may ask Jon, for I had intended to ask previously, but you have worked here for a while have you not? How was Monsieur Arnaurd L'Rose?"[/color]
