[When did that shelf get there? It's too high up, and—

And why is it muttering?

Oh, wait; it's just Aella. She's lounging on top of it, fiddling with a ridiculously complicated logic/puzzle box.]

I mean, his kind of equipment might be too advanced.

Wouldn't that be a good thing? A chance to obtain new knowledge?

Yes and no. It would take too long for me to adjust to what he's accustomed to.

I see...

Either way, I'm in charge.

And he has no qualms with this?

So far, no.

[trying not to let his doubts about your unsavory sounding partner-in-crime leak onto his face]

Hn.

. . . You're not pleased.

I didn't say that. [clinking as the tea cups are placed out]

You didn't have to.

There's been talk of murders and sorts lately. [choosing his words carefully]

Oh?

Yes. Did you know the gods here can bring people back if they die again? Well, again here again.

And the Gods didn't offer an explanation?

People get lost in the wild, that sort of thing. Nothing concrete.

[pushes Sherlock's tea forward and takes his own]

You'll do whatever you want in the end. Just. Be careful.

Perhaps it's time for me to offer my services.

[sip. orly.]

You could.

Well, I can't go out there without a partner I can rely on.

No, you can't.

What else did they say?

There's supposed to be a meeting later discussing the more bureaucratic aspects of how to organize this place. Crime and punishment, ruling parties, that sort of thing. A ninja is hosting it.

[and there's a gambling goddess. But I'm not sharing that because you already know and that I know.]

And that's supposed to work?
