"I think it won't take that long at all." Reinhardt doesn't know either, but he's never not hopeful. He knows that he'll push himself as hard as he can. But now he's got Yohane in tow, so he has to gear it back to her. He won't make a young lady endure a forced march though such deep snow.

"And if it does, then we'll just camp out tonight, ja? We'll have a fire and we can sing songs around it while we cook our dinner." He doesn't know she sings. He just knows that he wants to keep her spirits up. "And you need not worry about bears or anything else. Because I will be there." He'll sit outside whatever tent has been set up along the path and keep watch though the freezing night.

That's what a knight does for the princess who is with him.
