[The paper is folded small and tied hastily with a length of ribbon. Once unwrapped, a little ring falls out: not expensive, by any means, and it looks as though it has been well-loved. At some point -- who can say when? -- the entire tiny package was slipped into one of Ciel's pockets.]

Ciel,

I expect that you will be home by the time you find this. Do not ask how I knew -- suffice to say it was clear enough, if one knew where to look for the signs. I wonder if perhaps I should be insulted that you chose not to say goodbye, but I shall choose not to be. After all, this will not be the last time we meet.

For reasons that will go unmentioned -- I wonder if you ever realized?-- I think it would be best if Riff and I did not return home to our own London. As such, I find myself in something of a quandary as to where I should depart to when my own stay in camp draws to a close.

Perhaps I will drop by your manor house one day for a spot of tea.

Yours,

Cain C. Hargreaves

P.S. The ring belonged to my cousin. She was rather attached to it, and I find myself entertaining similar feelings about the thing. Do keep it safe, won't you?

... well, then!

[Once upon a time, there was an attractive earl who, despite being extremely intelligent, was unfortunately sometimes also very stupid. This is one of those times. Enter Cain, pursued by a... well, it looks a bit like a Deku Baba. The mobile kind. And knowing Cain, it's probably poisonous. He swears, turning around to gauge its progress and stumbling over a tree root.]

Well, I knew that apparently Kaori Yuki had mentioned what the "C" in "Cain C. Hargreaves" stood for in one issue of Hana to Yume. But it turns out she mentioned it somewhere else, too.

ONLY EXPLANATION: they let Neil choose the middle name, thus explaining why it's actually normal.
