Ah.

[...ah. She gets it, now.] So you were with Magnus the Hammer last night.

[That explains so much! But at his question, she shakes her said.]

I apologize - I do not have much of an appetite this morning. But it is kind of you to offer, nonetheless.

[you'd think a girl would be used to Friday Morning Murder Announcements by now, buuuut...]

[chaoticlootral]

And Escha.

[Moving over to the pantry, starting to dig through that too.]

Okay, suit yourself. I mean, guess I’m desensitized. You want something else?

[fishingforcompliments]

[she's not going to stop him from digging, but she'll stand nearby in case it gets out of hand]

Ah... well, I am sure you will hear this from him as well, but... we found some drag marks near the lake. [is this what he meant by "you want something else?" she's just assuming that it is.] That may be one of the places we need to check tomorrow.

[chaoticlootral]

[He stops digging for a second.]

Oh— yeah, he told me. There’s a weird smell at the bonfire too.

[Then back to digging through.]

Meant food though. Pastry? Could do a lemon tart . . .

[fishingforcompliments]

Weird? How so?

[oh, curses

her stomach growls at that, but she shakes her head]

That sounds delicious, but I fear my stomach is too unsettled for me to eat anything right now.

[chaoticlootral]

Couldn’t really tell. Just not . . . normal bonfire smoke. So I think someone’s burning something.

[He hums at that second bit though, because? Stomach growl?]

. . . Uh. If you say so.

[fishingforcompliments]

I see... we shall have to take a look there tomorrow, then.

[hmm.]

...it really is a shame! Perhaps another time.

[chaoticlootral]

[He just nods, but then gets a little huffy after a second— crossing his arms.]

The things on my profile - they aren’t true, you know. I was framed.

[fishingforcompliments]

[that's good to know, buuuut -]

What do you mean? I did not read the profiles.

[she left in a huff after she got to hers and taako's is after hers, so!!]

[chaoticlootral]

The— [He waves a hand, like it’s no big deal.] The poisonings thing. I didn’t do it. I was like, at most, 30% responsible.

[fishingforcompliments]

Oh!

[she

genuinely had no idea about that, but she shakes her head immediately.]

No, it is not that I think you, personally, would do anything like that...

[chaoticlootral]

Alright. Well, I wouldn’t trust any of these fucks. Heard one of them’s got a love potion they’re itching to use too.

[fishingforcompliments]

A... love potion?

[hm.]

[chaoticlootral]

Yup. Apparently a running theme in these things.

[fishingforcompliments]

...is that what happened to Asch and Zenitsu, do you think?
