(And yet, Tsurumaru doesn't seem... too bothered? Well, perhaps he's a little more subdued at times-- when they realized Nine was missing, when they figured out he was the victim for the weak, when they found his body, when they caught Bertolt. )
(Kiku will hope close and then shift from magpie to otter. It's easier to press her nose close to Finley in something that looks vaguely like an attempt to comfort or check on her. )
Oh?
(he raises a brow,)
That seems to be the nature of this place... every time we find a clue, it creates more questions than answers.
He told me if he did it, they he'd be able to go home and see his friends faster. It sounds like it was a choice he could make... and he did it to get back.
Yeah, that's the biggest part that drives me up the wall. It's bad enough asking anyone, but that. It's going too far. Holding people's loved ones above their head.
[ There's a hint of irritation in his voice. Finley's ear twitches and her tail starts intermittently flicking sharply behind her. ]
Maybe someone else that talked to him found out. But I know he said that if he helped take out "the other side," he was told he would get what he wanted.

Good, good! After everything, a good surprise is in order, don't you think?

[ Finley the tiger is just staring at him lazily. ]

(Nodding. Kiku chirps once in what we can only assume is the affirmative. She agrees but doesn't have the same enthusiasm as Tsurumaru.)

It was another difficult day.
no subject
It was. A lot happened once again.
no subject
Did you talk to him?
no subject
Yeah. We talked for a while after things settled down a little.
no subject
And what did you think?
no subject
It brought up so many more question with the answers I got.
no subject
Oh?

No kidding... But there's apparently at least one "Angel" involved in this. The kid was approached by one...

(He crosses his arms, folding them into his sleeve. Kiku also seems to be alert now, listening,)
They asked a child to kill.

(Kotetsu's feelings on the matter aren't a surprise. Even Tsurumaru is bothered despite the fact he doesn't seem to react strongly.)
And let me guess... there's a reason why he didn't tell us all.
(Because when people tried to ask him, he only cried and seemed to shut down.)
no subject
[ Or, he didn't ask. There was a lot said. ]
Maybe someone else that talked to him found out. But I know he said that if he helped take out "the other side," he was told he would get what he wanted.
no subject
(It's his first thought.)
Last week, Marius was a Celestial and this week, Nine was a Temporal.
no subject
[ He tilts his head, a bit confused. ]
Bertolt was also a Temporal. Why would they have him kill one of his "own?"
no subject
But this sure is a puzzle.)
I see what you mean by more questions than answers.
no subject
Hopefully we start getting more answers than questions soon.
