Sixteenth Case

[ this is probably about as predatory as you will ever see Kazuha look.

But when it involves certain teenage boy detectives who - for once - aren't her childhood friend, it's probably understandable.

Never mind the fact that she's soaked, sacrifices must be made. ]

Kudo Shinichi. I don't know how long you've been hiding out here, but I'm gonna find you.

[ LIGHTNING CRACKLE ]

And then we're going to have a nice, long talk.

I have to try even harder to keep it up now-- nothing would be more embarrassing than the meister of a Deathscythe being unable to keep up with their perfect scores!

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

If it's that troublesome, I'll help you.

[skirtingdanger]

No, it's not troublesome... If I continue what I'm doing, I think I'll manage okay.

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

You're one of the smartest people I know, so you're probably right.

[skirtingdanger]

... ... ... A- ahahaha...

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

...?

[skirtingdanger]

Mm, it's nothing! Thanks, Kazuha.

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

Don't mention it!

[skirtingdanger]

-- Well... All that aside, I don't mind doing other things, too.

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

I know that, or I'd never see you!

[skirtingdanger]

[pfff] Anyway... Enough about that, I guess.

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

How've things been on your end, anyway? Anything new?

[skirtingdanger]

Not by much. All this rain has been keeping everyone inside, mostly. ...Although, it looks like I'm going to head bad soaking wet again.

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

... Want to drop by the inn? There's probably something you can use.

[skirtingdanger]

I'm starting to wonder if there's a point in trying to stay dry anymore, but we shouldn't stick out here for too long, either.

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

I'm not planning on it... I wasn't really thinking when I came out here anyway.

[skirtingdanger]

This missing person must be important, huh?

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

Not to me, especially, but as a favor to my friend!

[skirtingdanger]

Oh-- A favor?

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

He's very important to her.

[skirtingdanger]

... Ah, I get it! If I knew who they were, I'd help you look.

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

-- Thanks, anyway.

[skirtingdanger]

For now, let's head inside. You should wait until it clears up for a little while.

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

Right, I know. [ reluctant about-face ]

[skirtingdanger]

I guess I should do the same too while I'm at the inn.

[ok onward \o\]
