first investigation

[arsholes]

[On Friday morning, the second Friday for the Thanatos Institute apprentices in the tower, the outside sun rises and spreads its light through the arrow slit windows in the tower’s stone walls. People rise from their beds, some earlier risers than others, and shuffle along to begin their day.

Things are quiet, even with the lowkey air of anxiety that’s lingered since Tuesday when the Alchemist made his offer and Bryn attacked Bruno with an animalistic fervor. It’s probably fine, this hanging silence in the air.

Probably.]

Comments

[reresurrected]

[Good morning!]

[strongestfeelings]

Good Morning. [Does she seem disappointed to see him? yikes.]

[reresurrected]

[He is fortunately unfazed.]

Oh, hello. Were you looking for something in particular?

[strongestfeelings]

My boyfriend. You haven't seen him, have you? [ l m a o ]

[reresurrected]

I'm afraid I haven't seen anyone other than you this morning since I awoke. I could certainly help you search for him if you would like, however...

[strongestfeelings]

It's fine. I know where I'll probably find him. [hence. you know. the ink and paper she came here for. She'll just scoop those up and head on her way.]

If you see him, be sure to scold him for getting out of bed so soon for me.

[reresurrected]

[He smiles!]

I'll be sure to do so, Stella-san. He'll probably come by looking for food soon enough.
