I will. You're useful too, you know that? You're a smart kid. [she ruffles his hair.] I don't know what even I can do just yet, but if I find something - I'll get you in on it, okay? We can trade whatever information we hear.
Well... it probably belonged to Aquarius, right? Since they mentioned all the other ones, I think? A-and it sounded like they'd been a part of these things a bunch of other times... and maybe they're here on some kind of secret mission or something?
...Oh, and the guy! The bad guy! It sounded like he had to stick to the contracts too? I know I've been talking a lot about suing him over those things when we get out, but maybe there's some other way...
I don't think so... I mean, we don't have an actual court with a judge or anything, and even when we did have those before, I still couldn't press charges against that vampire.
I think, uh - first of all, you're right. [she says, nodding.] I think it's interesting that the big guy upstairs has a contract. That's going to come in handy, I feel like.
Whoever it belongs to isn't important, I think. As long as it belongs to the staff, that's all we need to know.
Have you seen any of the other clues and things that have come from the excursions? There's some people I don't talk to, so uh, I'm limited.
Really? I thought you'd be friends with pretty much everyone...
[ aside from the diluc group, maybe... ]
Um... I think Rin said they found a paper that something like, "You're gonna kill me, I'm sorry" and "please stay alive" with some scribbles? That they figured was a message to someone.
A-and they also got a note that just said Orion was hot. ...Probably from Vulpecula. So.
I don't think I know any others... I didn't know people were even getting things like that until we went.
Eh, mostly, but I don't get along with some of them.
[like the diluc group sweats]
... Huh, okay. I got uh, this hangman thing from one of the first weeks but that never went anywhere. The journal, and now this. I'm probably missing stuff, too.
We have to be careful, though. The uh - the staff is really restricted. I don't want to get them in trouble.
she gathers together this combination, and then finds him a very nice pair of skinny jeans and black boots to wear with it. very dapper. very hipster.]
[ wow, this has such a different vibe from the stuff bradley picked out for him... but they're both really cool in different ways, and he likes them both?? he probably really should take a lesson from this and branch out more from his usual school uniform and uniform-adjacent style... ]
Oh! This is really cool. The black and grey really make the other colors stand out, huh?
[ his dad's clothes are just overwhelmingly red... this is a lot easier to look at! ]
[she is very happy to allow for him to broaden his attire, please wear hipster clothing from now on.]
Yeah! That's how you do the mixing. Pair bright colors with uh, with darks. Like, you've seen my robes, right? The bright red ones? Those go real good with black underneath.
[ ...red with black underneath also just sounds like his dad but he nods anyway! he gets the idea. the subtle dot pattern with the busier floral accents is interesting too! ]
You think so? I don't see a lot of people wearing them, but it's kind of a fun look... and it seems a lot less annoying than a regular necktie that you might accidentally get in your food or get caught on things!

Then, um... did Sheila show you the notebook we got before?

no subject
You think we could sue him like, now, somehow? [that'd be pretty funny actually can we just run court and sue the nightman for emotional damage]
no subject
A-anyway. What did you think about it?

Yeah... I haven't been sure how much is okay to share with anyone.
[ ... ]
...Hey, um. A-as long as we're kind of talking about them...
[ this has kind of been bugging him ever since he watched them together early on in the trial, and he's been waffling on asking ever since.
he leans in a little closer, lowering his voice to a near-whisper just in case. ]
Is Gemini...?
no subject
Gemini is whoever you think they are. [she says, ear flicking.] I can't say more than that.

[ god he has no idea how to feel about this ]
...Right.

Anyway... I still have this one task I need to get done, so... can you come pick out some clothes for me from the costume closet?
[ he trusts her style enough!! ]
no subject
Hah - yeah. Yeah, actually, of course I can. [she pulls herself up to stand, holding her hands out to him.] I'll pick something out for you.
no subject
Thanks! Just make sure it's something cool!

The bowtie is a cute look on you, too.
