Sebastian's POV (because I love his POV)

We were walking around on the frozen water through a fair. "Impressive. Frost Fair certainly is an app title for this." I said as Ella looked around with a smile. "A large gathering at the foot of London Bridge when the temps freeze over. For one what I've been told, it's happened for decades now. Since 1814 apparently." The young master informed me. "I wonder why we haven't come before." Ella said and looked at the snow statue. The young master continued walking as Ella held me back.

I looked at her with confusion as she looked at the young master. "I want to get him something. It's almost his birthday." She said softly as I nodded. "Just be careful, my dear." I said and kissed her head before catching up to the young master. "Step on up, ladies and gents. I've got bargains that would blow even Jack Frost away. Buy something for someone special." A man said as the young master smirk a little. "Is there something amusing?" I asked curiously. "Those goods are all dubious qualities. Phantom should have a tent. Any of our products would be better than what this man is selling. Like that." He said, pointing his can at a wooden ship.

"Ah, hello, young noble man. You have a good eye. That piece is one if a kind. It was manufactured by the Phantom Toy Company years ago. Back when it was still only just a small craft studio." The man said proudly. "No, that is a bleating fake. The Phantom Arks are red. Only three were ever made. My predecessor employed the talent of an artist incredibly skilled in his craft. Since our estate burned down, even we no longer possess one. No one certainly would have them here." He said as I recall Ella telling me about how they would play with one with Lady Elizabeth over when they were younger.

"Noah's Ark. You know, it reminds me of this country." I said, thinking a little. "Why's that?" The young master asked curiously. "Think about it. A boat captained by a single person. On it filled with a select few who have been chose to be saved. Rather arrogant, don't you think?" I asked then gave a sassy smile. "Is that?" Someone said as we turned to see a a man from the Jack the Ripper Case. "A Scotland Yard inspector has time to go to a fair? London must be very peaceful. Today anyway." The young master said with a smirk.

"It's not! I'm on duty right now!" The man said angrily. "Oh? Well then, I'll leave you on your way to your faithful service to the Queen and country. Good day, Inspector." The young master said as we started walking away. "Wait! Come back! I have some questions I want to ask you! Ciel!" He said, chasing us. He went to go touch him but a mittened hand slapped his away. "Sorry, but my brother is touch fragile at the moment. I mean sensitive. Perhaps you can be a trifle more gentle when you're approaching him." Ella said with a force smile, coming to our rescue.

"I will answer whatever questions you have. Sebastian stay with Ella." The young master said and walked away with the inspector. "Wonder what's going on." Ella said curiously. "Well, we mustn't worry now. How did your gift finding go?" I asked as we walked around. "Not well, actually. I just can't feel a pull to anything." She said sadly as I placed a hand on her head. "I'm sure you'll find something." I said with a smile as she gave a soft smile and nodded. The young master, Abbline, and Lou came over as they explained why Abbline was working at the Frost Fair that we needed to see someone.

"I'm gonna look around some more. I saw Elizabeth around here. May stay over there for a little bit. Need a break from our manor." Ella told me as I nodded and gently kissed her head. We followed Abbline and stopped outside a building as we stared at it. "You're your sure this is the right place?" The young master asked. "Yes, it is. He set up shop here because so many people are freezing to death during the Frost Fair." Abbline said and shrugged. "Inspector, you can't be serious. Not him." Lou said as we looked at the sign labled 'Undertaker'.

"Yes him, and you'll have to wait outside. You're lucky I let you a company me at all." Abbline said and went to open the door but it was just a cloth so he fell in. "What a hopeless fool." The young master said as I agreed. "The privileges of youth, my lord.....So what is this place?" Lou asked with a smile as the young master had a tick mark over his head. "It's the Undertaker's parlor! You met him during the Jack the Ripper case, remember?" He asked with annoyance. "Oh, right." Lou said with a smile.
