Sissel doesn't look good - more so than before. The hole is still there sure, and it does bother him that it is, but something else is wrong. Even he can see that much.

"Just planning the best way to avoid that Santa creature." Something that can wait until after he's had a talk with his human.

"Is something wrong?"

Sissel may not want to worry him, but even without saying anything, Dead End's already concerned.
