Jeeves took note of the boy's forced relaxation. It was a little hard not to, though the valet made an effort not to be too overt in keeping an eye on Roxas. "Thank you. I'm certain there are many places to offer a safe and comfortable retreat. Which way shall we go?" He motioned down either direction of the alleyway before adding with a brief, but bracing smile, "And please allow me to pay when we arrive. As thanks." And as consolation.

There was something about the boy that reminded Jeeves vaguely of one of his younger cousins or the nephews of friends he has assisted. Buying him ice cream would help to gain his confidence, but the valet found himself genuinely feeling for the boy and his troubles. He had no way to bring back something that was gone, but there had to be other ways to cheer him. Another look through the archives might help to figure out what that might be if this encounter failed to provide further insight.

Personally, Jeeves also thought that an overhaul of Roxas' wardrobe and a haircut would help ease the boy's mind, as well. He'd wait on those suggestions, though. Some young gentlemen were ever so attached to unfortunate articles of clothing or abhorrent styles.
