Who: You
When: Day 23, all day
Where: The wild yonders
What: We are overdue for some maulings

[ Four rooms, one big open area, and two sets of stairs. We're getting closer to a fully cleared floor, guys! ]

[ Though you may find your attention drawn away from the stairs when you notice that big gaping hole in the building... and the things trying to make their way inside. ]

(( OOC: Please make note of your general direction somewhere in your thread or subject line! And as always, partnering up is the cool/smart thing to do. ))

[YOU'RE IN TROUBLE, MISTER. GUESS WHO'S BEEN TAILING YOU]

... you sure go back on your word quick. Tantei-kun.

[evenimprobable]

[there's a brief flash of something on his face, before he quickly pushes it back, and . . . yeah, you certainly haven't seen him like this]

Aella's missing, I went out to look for her.

[vulpine_hijinx]

[... uho]

And that gives you the excuse to break away from the searching party... how?

[evenimprobable]

We'd cover more the area that way. I'm not out looking for trouble this time; I'm not about to put myself in danger again.

What are you doing out here?

[vulpine_hijinx]

Looking for trouble.

Since you're purposefully blinding yourself to the dangers.

[evenimprobable]

Am I.

[vulpine_hijinx]

[hums noncommittally]

[evenimprobable]

I'm well aware of the dangers, Kaito. Stop worrying.

[vulpine_hijinx]

[rolls eyes]

Right. That's why I said "purposefully". The main issue is that you're making yourself not care about it.

[evenimprobable]

I'm not making myself do anything.

[vulpine_hijinx]

Attention. Attention. Citizens of Thusia: Kudo Shinichi, meitantei-san has entered into the realm of passive-aggressive denial.

[evenimprobable]

[just raises an eyebrow]

Thank you, Kid-san.

[vulpine_hijinx]

Anytime.

But seriously, stick with the group. Buddy systems work. ... mostly.

[evenimprobable]

. . .

[vulpine_hijinx]

... is there any particular reason you're actually going about it this way? Because I'm not going to believe you're using Aella as your excuse.

[evenimprobable]

Aella isn't an excuse; I am looking for her.

[vulpine_hijinx]

... riiight.

By looking at butterflies, you are sure to find her.

[evenimprobable]

By looking at the corpse, I could've seen if it was killed by her weapon or not, and get an idea of what kind of animals come out this way.

The butterflies were just a brief distraction.

[vulpine_hijinx]

But a fun one.

[peering at said corpse...]

[evenimprobable]

. . . why are you out here, Kaito . . .

[vulpine_hijinx]

Gathering.

[evenimprobable]

And you yell at me for coming out here alone.

[huffs, and starts on his way back]

[vulpine_hijinx]

The difference is that I was following you while gathering. Hence, I was with someone.

[following~]

[evenimprobable]

[you may notice that he is keeping a certain distance from you. Also? You're on the right side]

Hmph.

[vulpine_hijinx]

[sure am noticing that.

slowly down to move behind detective... testing]
