[Week 6, Monday: Belph]

[doublecrows]

[one day Akechi will approach people without creepily stalking them first??]

[today is not that day]

Belph-san.

You're still interested in our memories, yes?

Comments

[doublecrows]

As would I.

[moving on--]

Have you found the Shield yet?

[axilium]

I suspect that they may play a part in why you're still alive.

[doublecrows]

[. . . ah. well]

As do I.

I'll take that as a yes.

[axilium]

Well, you could confirm it for me before I spend a check on him.

[doublecrows]

[FROWNS]

Not unless you give me a name first, as well as the reasons why you suspect. . . whomever it is you suspect.

[axilium]

C'mon, detective, we both know I'm talking about your partner. As for why I suspect him... well, that's a spoiler, but don't worry—it wasn't a method most will have access to.

[doublecrows]

[immediately bristling, gaze narrowed]

Considering it's my partner involved, I believe I deserve that spoiler. Wishing well?

[axilium]

[so touchy!!]

Fine. Yeah, you got me.

[doublecrows]

[YOU WOULDN'T BELIEVE IT]

[. . . he relaxes]

As I thought. That's the method I used to locate Sousei-san.

Yes. He is the Shield.

[axilium]

Cool. You wouldn't mind if I have a chat with him about that, would you?

[... granted, it's akechi so he. might mind.]

[doublecrows]

[JUST GIVES HIM A FLAT EXPRESSION]

Yes, I do mind. Particularly if you're going to tell him that I was the one who gave you his title.

[axilium]

[he waves a hand.]

Fine, fine. You confirmed it, so that'll probably be good enough for the Crafters.

[doublecrows]

[GOOD!!]

Thank you.

[axilium]

I'm sure your protectiveness makes him swoon.

[doublecrows]

[YOU HAVE NO IDEA, BELPH]

I have one last question for you before we part. That letter, and the button jars. Was that your doing?

[axilium]

Nope. I think I might have an idea of who's responsible, but I'll have to get back to you on that later.

[doublecrows]

Very well. I considered leaving a note to ask them to meet with me, but if you can confirm the name of the one responsible, that will be enough.

[axilium]

I'll see what I can do.
