When: Day 262, afternoon
What: I SEE WHAT YOU DID THERE

[quite suddenly there is a knock on the Cepheus end of the dorms and a voice calling out lazily and impatiently:]

Oooooi. Won't the good little detective come out to play?

...and Cherry-san....

[Tomato face, right here.]

Ah... well, Quartz is having drunken teaparty antics with Mirror currently, so...

I know. But Cherry-san...especially if he teases with ya around....

[./////.]

[snerks]

Okay, so we'll keep away from Monoceros and Cepheus. I don't feel like having your boyfriend be all jealous over nothing, after all.

[I can never look Cherry in the face, it's horrible.]

Yeah. Don't...actually know how he responds ta bein' jealous. He was pretty dense ta it, but things are different.

Judging from what I know of him... he'd probably be very loud.

... and use kendo.

...he is on a quest for a sword too. He's pretty awesome.

I'm sure he's very heroic and honorable.

Oh, he was.... [There is a bit of a fangirl-type like sigh of admiration.]

[What, he was being pretty bad ass.]

[... that is socute]

Must be rough to have the two of you here. I should be relieved that no one closer to me has come here yet.

[He's got quite a lot of dere at this point, yes.]

...sometimes. After a particularly rough game that Cepheus didn't do well in, usually.

But I don't think I'd have liked stayin' home, knowin' he was here.

Ha. Maybe I snuck off here on my own. I'd be lucky enough for that. You guys seem to be here for a different reason, anyway.

Maybe. Heiji is involved with Quartz's problem, that much is obvious. Quartz said he only knew a little bit of what his whole problem WAS. Or at least that's what he told me.

I don't think I knew any of this stuff back home. At least I was buyin' the act, which seems kind of obvious now...

But maybe I was suspectin' enough ta know whatever the problem was, I wanted ta help Heiji.

Can't blame you for that. And Quartz definitely got himself mixed up into something.

[holds up hands, palms outward] I'm not involved with his situation, though.

Oh yeah. Not sure how he even handles it all.

[Blinks.] Really? Huh, it always seems like people from similar worlds are involved in similar things.

Stubbornness, the hallmark of a great detective.

... just don't tell him I said that.

And nah, I have my own problems back home.

Don't worry, I try ta avoid strokin' his ego that much. Especially when it concerns his stubbornness.

Then how did ya and Quartz figure out ya knew each other?

Memories, mostly.

We mostly know each other on a... business perspective, back home. We've only really got to know each other on a personal level in this place.

Business?

He's a detective. A nosy detective.

Yes, but he's also in a special position. I don't think he wanted just anyone ta know his business.

Who said I was in his business? He keeps getting into mine. Not the other way 'round.

Why is he in a magician's business?

That's the question, isn't it.

[this is definitely a "I know something you don't know" smile]

...

[I'm deeeefinitely reading your file now.]

So, dangerous business for a magician, huh?
