I was accused of murdering the parents of someone close to me.

[greatdeduction]

...

[He closes his eyes for a moment, before he puts the book down in his lap and reaches out just to cup the other's face gently.]

Regardless of what kind of man you are, my dear fellow...I do not think you're a murderer.

[ He lifts his eyes, staring back and leaning into the touch. ]

It got cleared up. There's someone that could alter memories.

[ He gives a weak smile. ]

He'd managed to turn all the heroes against me and I didn't have many people left who really knew me.

[greatdeduction]

...That sounds like a nightmare.

[For the cards to be stacked up against him so highly...]

You lead such a dangerous life, you know.

[sponsoredby]

It was.

[ All of his friends... ]

I know, but someone has to do the job. A hero saved me from walking down a different path in life. I wanted to do the same for others. That includes things happening here.

[greatdeduction]

[He lets out a sigh.]

That speaks as to your noble character. But you should be careful as to not put your head forward to be cut off for the sake for others, either. That will not help anyone, mind.

Is that a selfish request?

[ There's a little bit of a tease. But then, more serious. ]

Sometimes it's a hard choice to make. My hero powers aren't what they used to be, so I want to do as much as I can before it's gone. And when it's between saving the masses versus a sacrifice, unfortunately my instinct kicks in. Granted, my years of experience helps with making the choice that I don't have to pick one or the other.

[greatdeduction]

Hm. Maybe so.

[A little smirk.]

...I would hope your years of experience are as solid as a rock, there, my friend. [And he huffs.] But do please try to use one's head before one's action, at the very least. For me.

I'll try to use that brain of mine a little more.

[ He shifts just a slight bit closer to him, soft tone. ]

I'll do everything in my ability not to let you feel lonely like that.

[greatdeduction]

Come now, with you at my side, how could a man feel such a bitter thing as loneliness?

[His expression is as warm as his tone.]

Simply by being as you are, are you not doing all you can for me?

[sponsoredby]

Well, I wasn't sure, but it's good hearing that.

[ And then he gets a small little grin, reaching out to Sholmes' hat and extracting it from his head. Before he can react, he's already plopping his own hat on Sholmes' head and trying on the one he stole. This is kind of like boyfriend shirt, right? ]

[greatdeduction]

[Oh!]

[He's letting out a little noise of surprise, but when he realizes what has happened, he reaches up to adjust it, grinning.]

So? How do I look?

[sponsoredby]

I'd say you look dashing, but that's kind of the norm. I think it looks good on you.

[ And, after adjusting the hat he's wearing, he does a little Sholmes pose. ]

Does it work?

[greatdeduction]

Mmmm.

[Considering for a moment.]

But of course, it's best on me. [don't be MEAN] But it does make for quite the nice picture, yes.

[sponsoredby]

[ It's fine, he Accepts that part of him. ]

If only I had my phone from home. I'd take a picture of us together.

[greatdeduction]

[please don't accept this cryptid]

Your...phone can take pictures? Ah, yes, I believe Rameel mentioned something similar. How very modern!

[sponsoredby]

[ unfortunately, kotetsu is used to being bullied and just accepts some of it if he likes the person / hears it enough. and. vague motions. ]

Yeah, it's pretty convenient.

[ Hmm, at the mention of Rameel... ]

I wonder if the Watchers could get something like that. Or at least a camera.

[greatdeduction]

Oh, you could and should float that question over...and that reminds me! Look what Rameel gifted to me.

[He reaches for his satchel and pulls out...........markers! All the colors!]

[sponsoredby]

[ SHOLMES... ]

That does look like the kind of gift that kind of guy would give.

[ An insult? Who knows. ]

Have you gotten to use them yet?

[greatdeduction]

Not yet, but it was suggested to me to draw whatever I pleased on people's faces while they slept.

[terrible]

[ He starts to laugh at that one. ]

Does that mean I might wake up with cat whiskers sometime?

[greatdeduction]

[He's grinning.]

I make no promises whatsoever, my dear fellow!

[sponsoredby]

[ He's gonna reach over and lightly tug at his cheek. ]

I almost half expect you to sign your name on me.

[ Claim him?? ]

[greatdeduction]

[A laugh at that, shoulders shrugging up.]

Oh, don't tempt me, you sly devil.

[ He's an idiot, so he's not going to back off of this. ]

Where would you even put it?
