. . . . .

[He drifts just barely out of reach to be grabbed]

Yes sir. Understood...

[sunsetking]

Good.

[Leona sighs and starts walking.

This has gotten annoying.]

[bloodthirstydawn]

[Mythril hesitates but he does fly after him quietly. The lion is scary.]

Uh...is there anything else you need...?

[sunsetking]

If you want to make yourself useful, go look more into the drug ring for me.

[He glances at the tiny thing.]

You're small enough not to be detected by anyone.

[bloodthirstydawn]

[They can pretty much go invisible when needed. It just doesn't work with Leona and the like. A floral scent is always there depending on the type of fairy.]

Uh...I can try. I wouldn't know where to start...

[sunsetking]

The docks are usually a good place.

[His tail flicks.]

Start there.

[bloodthirstydawn]

Alright...

[He sounds uncomfortable but with a sigh he does fly off in that direction. The lion is finally left alone for the time being]

[sunsetking]

[Finally.

Leona grunts and continues his own investigations.

It is a little closer to evening that they reconvene at the inn. Leona is leaning against one of the columns in the building, waiting for Hanako to bring Moroha out while he listens to Seth give his report.]

[bloodthirstydawn]

[Seth keeps by Leona, explaining everything. He didn't get too much but the village ladies have warmed up to him. Seth is good looking but he also comes off as honest and geninue which....he typically is. Even when he's trying to get close because Leona told him too, he does have care for the ladies too. He might of helped with some handyman things too here and there. It was a bonus for the ladies with it being hot out and one of them offered to take his shirt to be washed since he got sweaty for them. He might not have Leona's body but Seth is built well. But hey, he got a nice fresh clean shirt out of it and some new lady friends. Basically Leona gets some of the latest gossip]

[sunsetking]

I think those ladies got a nice treat out of it, too.

[Leona can’t help but snort once he’s noticed the clean shirt Seth is wearing. He doesn’t think the cat will get his shirt back either.]

It’s nice of the ladies to tell you so much gossip.

[bloodthirstydawn]

Hm?

[He blinks]

They did put me to work a bit but a lot of them don't have a guy willing to help them out for free around. They were all pretty guarded for awhile around me but I guess they softened up. The ladies here are wary but I guess that makes sense. I donno if any of that will help you. I can go see them agin tomarrow.

[He's never getting that shirt back...]

[sunsetking]

The men here don’t seem willing unless it benefits them somehow.

[It’s something he’s seen around town.]

Keep earning their trust while we’re here.

[bloodthirstydawn]

Will do.

[He nods, his tail swaying]

Did you find out anything?

[sunsetking]

There have been more shipments than usual at the docks.

[He frowns.]

Underground passageways, too.

[bloodthirstydawn]

...That doesn't sound good.

[Seth frowns, ears flattening a bit]

That will be hard to track...

[sunsetking]

I’ve got the pipsqueaks routing it out.

[Leona clicks his tongue. He doesn’t like how convoluted this has become.]

[bloodthirstydawn]

[Seth's ears perk]

I didn't think you brought the fairies.

[Granted Rowan is sleeping somewhere probably.

Moroha does eventually come out. She feels out of place though the clothes aren't too bad. The old woman does know how to do hair and make-up and the clothes fit perfectly. Moroha was surprised. To her credit she does try not to make a face being like this and walks with a certain taught grace and delicateness. Her mother did teach her a few things and ceremonies or festivals at the shrine were a thing.

[sunsetking]

Iris sent them—

[But now he’s distracted by Moroha coming out. He can’t help her stare. It’s…certainly something to see.

It reminds him of Akari.

He might actually be speechless.

Hanako snickers as she steps out from behind Moroha.]

Oh my. The mighty lion is speechless?

[bloodthirstydawn]

[Moroha cleans up exceptionally well. Though she's she thats Hanako's work.

Seth stares a bit too. Oh wow.

Moroha' cheeks start to become more rosy as she frowns a little and looks away]

Alright, alright. I'm dressed up, quick staring...

[She walks over to Leona, peering up at him. She is surely connected to Akari in more than just power. Granted...Akari at least had a few more inches of height]

I just have to dance and be...lady like, right?

[sunsetking]

[He blinks once. Oh. It’s like staring into the past.]

Yeah, that’s all.

[Leona nods.]

Enough to have their attention on you.

[bloodthirstydawn]

I'll do....my best. Like I said, I don't many dances that aren't flowy and shrine maiden like. If this fails, it ain't my fault. Imma feel bad if I sat still forever and we wasted her time.

[She nods to the older woman.]

But I guess I'm ready as I'll ever be.

[Seth smiles at her]

You look stunning.

Thanks...

[sunsetking]

What do you think?

[Hanako looks at Leona expectantly.

Leona gives another slow blink, his ear twitching. He glances away briefly.]

…You do look beautiful.

[Oh, this isn’t good.]

Your guests will be coming in soon, right?

They are. I have the rest of my girls working on getting them settled. Remember girl, your name for tonight is Karina.

[Hanako looks back at Moroha.]

[bloodthirstydawn]

[Her nose wrinkles a bit at the name but she nods.]

I got it. I got it. You could at least call me Moroha....I told you my name like four times.

[Whats with people and not using names? seriously. But she looks at Leona.]

But uh, thanks....I'm guessing you'll be nearby?

[sunsetking]

[They're allergic to names.

Leona nods.]

I’ll be watching from the shadows. So be sure not to mess up too much.

[bloodthirstydawn]

[She blinks and frowns more at him.]

Gee, thanks for the boost in confidence. I won't mess up at all, jerk.

[She huffs at him. Seth smiles? Leona be nice...even if that is nice for you.]
