Two...worlds left?

[naru: no week 7 u monsters]

I...see. [But he frowns.] That sounds rather drastic...I do hope they won't push their limits.

Technically three. Today's choice isn't being counted in that.

[ NO MY PHRASING IS BAD. ]

I have a feeling they will push themselves far, but we have to figure things out to help. We need to make sure to have all the information we can. I think it was a good idea that I talked to the other roles. There's a lot that I've been learning.

[NARU SEVEN WEEK MG IS REAL]

...You're right on that. And...ah, I'm glad. [He smiles, squeezing the other's hands.] I suppose it all worked out, in the end.

[ LMAO... ]

I wish you could be there for it. [ A light squeeze back. ] But it did work out. I hope that they keep my secret safe. Especially since someone seems to be convinced I have a role...

[greatdeduction]

Hm?

[A frown.]

And who would that be?

[sponsoredby]

Xie Lian. He kept pushing me very hard, trying to get me to admit something.

[ He actually sounds a little annoyed at that... ]

[greatdeduction]

[....His frown deepens. SORRY. HE'S VERY PROTECTIVE.]

Hmmmph. And after Mr. Lowell chewed me out for trying to figure out roles-! How brazen. Looking the other way while his friend tries to dig out information for himself? Bah! Does he not know its dangerous to share your roles so freely?

[ Oh, sweetheart. But he leans to kiss Sholmes on the cheek softly. Calm down. ]

Give him a little credit... He is willing to try to protect me and lie that I don't have a role to him. But still.

[ He sighs!! There is certainly some bias there. ]

...But that reminds me. I'm curious who else you know? You mentioned you knew someone else?

[ Just gonna... slide the conversation away from XL. ]

[greatdeduction]

[>8/]

But still, indeed.

[binch]

Oh! Yes. I know of one more outside our mutual long-haired friend. I am not sure if they're there among your group yet, or not. But they did say they were already in contact with Yuri already, so...

[Hmmm.]

Someone young? Cheerful? Ring a bell?

[sponsoredby]

Then I'm guessing they are...

[ But he thinks about it. ]

It might be familiar. I'm pretty sure it's okay if you tell me, since I've got a role.

[greatdeduction]

Are you sure? It wouldn't have a blowback?

[JUST TO BE SURE...]

[sponsoredby]

[ He shakes his head. ]

From what it sounds, that's fine for roles to know about other roles. And it's been encouraged. I won't mention anything to the group if they're not there.

[greatdeduction]

Hm.

[A pause.]

It would be Mr. Escardos.

[sponsoredby]

[ He laughs a bit and nods. ]

I figured that's who you knew about. When did he tell you?

[greatdeduction]

A few weeks ago. I rather bullied it out of him when he let things slip too much.

He has been sharing information with me since.

[sponsoredby]

Good. I'm glad you have more resources out there other than just me. I'll share what I can with you, too.

[greatdeduction]

I do. But as always, I am thankful for your information, and more importantly, for you.

[A little peck of a kiss on the nose.]

[sponsoredby]

[ He smiles at that and then leans to give Sholmes a soft kiss. ]

And I'm glad I've had you around.

[greatdeduction]

If you are happy...then there is nothing better.

[He smiles into the kiss.]

[Kotetsu makes him happy.]

[sponsoredby]

[ He smiles back into the kiss.

Funny that, Sholmes makes Kotetsu really happy, too. Despite everything they keep having to go through. ]

The same goes for you. [ Soft mumbling. ] What did you want to do for the rest of the night...?

[greatdeduction]

I'm not sure. I thought I would rethink through the case. At least...give me something else to think of outside of...

[What just happened.]

What are your plans? Do you need assistance in closing windows?

[sponsoredby]

We can do our usual. I might need a little help checking things since ... you know. Leg problems. I didn't get to check as much because of being gone most of Thursday and Friday...

[ So, yes. He would like window date and talks with the boyfriend. ]

[greatdeduction]

Then let me be your stalwart companion for the night, my dear.

[A little bow.]

Have they made you select a world, yet?

[sponsoredby]

I wouldn't have it any other way.

[ And he nods. ]

I did. That's when I got help with the crutch.

[greatdeduction]

Very good. I assume we'll be in for a surprise tomorrow, as usual. Though...

This place was rather nice, in its own way.
