[greatdeduction]

Well, first of all, the name of your companion, if you please.

[Since it's only polite!]

And...I do wonder, is it possible to obtain lockpicking set, of a kind? I do sorely miss mine, but it would be nice to have, in any case. If not, then that is quite alright.

[grigori]

Saspi.

[ they say gently as they place a hand on their daemon's head before thinking. ]

I can probably get you one. I don't think I can at this present moment but if you give me a bit of time then I might be able to.

[greatdeduction]

A pleasure, Saspi.

[And a bow to the bird.]

Very well. I would be most obliged and most grateful. For now, I am simply happy to partake in your wonderful company.

[grigori]

[ the bird will twitter at sholmes and flap a few times before also lowering their head. ]

I am too. Oh, you're a detective, aren't Mr. Sholmes? Why don't you tell me about one of your most wildest cases?

[greatdeduction]

I most certainly am! And I would be most happy to.

[please stop giving this man the time of day]

[But he offers his arm.]

I do say, let us walk along the beach as we do so. I believe the atmosphere will be most conducive towards the words I have to say.

[u just want to be a gentleman u nerd]

[grigori]

[ they will always give sholmes the time of day. ]

Oh, okay.

[ they'll quickly hand off the shells over towards their daemon to hang onto before taking a hold of sholmes' arm. ]

This feels sort of exciting.

[greatdeduction]

Exciting? My dear fellow, we're just having a walk. Though I am a great detective, you shouldn't be so starstruck.

[You can almost see the sparkles around him. I hate him.]

[grigori]

Shouldn't I? I haven't met a detective before.

[ they'll pause for a moment. hmm. they also do not mind the sparkles. terrible for them. ]

W, well one that's like you.

[greatdeduction]

Oh, not a single one? Well, you've met the best one, so you're in luck.

[sholmes: don't be starstruck
sholmes: but absolutely you should be starstruck~]

[grigori]

[ the duality of this man. ]

I'm glad. I feel as though everyone here is special in some way, or otherwise they wouldn't be here.

[greatdeduction]

[he has no duality he's just a hypocrite]

Oh? So its in your belief that we were chosen for a reason, then.

[grigori]

[ (un)fortunately they still like sholmes. ]

I do. None of you are exactly "normal" or "average" people.

[greatdeduction]

[please get better taste]

...I suppose you're right. And I suppose it wouldn't make sense to simply steal away a group of random people simply to solve some conflict. Though, with the power that takes...one wonders why they can't simply use it for themselves instead of dragging us all into it.

[grigori]

[ they can't. ]

Isn't that a good question?

I have a few ideas of myself, but I think it might too soon for me to say anything about what that is. B, besides I don't want to accidentally speak out of turn again.

[greatdeduction]

Ah, I assume whoever is leading you is preventing you from saying too much? That's understandable.

[He hums.]

By the by...that tower in the center of town. Do you all live there?

[grigori]

I wouldn't say that we all live there, but we are all staying there for the time being.

[greatdeduction]

Is there...room inside there? Do you all even have your own rooms?

[grigori]

Yes to both.

We have our separate areas but we aren't exactly forbidden from exchanging words.

[greatdeduction]

And what are those areas like? Are they any better than our rooms in that lonesome hotel?

[grigori]

Unfortunately for you, yes. Our areas are better than what you're dealing with here.

[greatdeduction]

[Pouting a bit...]

Is that really fair...we don't even have beds for everyone....

[grigori]

[ they look stressed. ]

I'm sorry Mr. Sholmes. The city is rather empty, have you not considered finding a home that's been emptied to call your own for the moment?

[greatdeduction]

Oh, no, no, no. That's quite fine.

[He's perking up again.]

Though...you really could live somewhere else outside of the hotel? Is that right?

[grigori]

That's correct. I wouldn't kick any of the children out of the homes they've called their own, but I don't believe the original residents will be returning any time soon.

[ and that makes them a little sad. ]

[greatdeduction]

...

[He also looks a little distant.]

Mm. What a terrible state of affairs. I don't quite like the idea of just abandoning children out of the blue, but...there must have been a valid reason. It is difficult to think otherwise.
