We'll have to start somewhere. [ ... ] And I have faith that you'll be able to find more for us, Akechi. Your passion is sticking your nose where it doesn't belong, given the profession you've decided is your life's work.

[...He doesn't like detective work. He doesn't like anything that has to do with the law. But at the same time, this is Goro's passion, and...

He lets out a sigh and threads a hand through his hair.]

Do you want some help?

[Elizabeth is getting a side eye for that, but it's quickly transformed into a look of surprise at Silver.

... But he doesn't like anything to do with the law. He's very specifically a troublemaker who spends his days generally flipping the bird at the law and those associated with it (though that might be a little bit of an exaggeration).]

Um, yes. Though I do have a knack for finding trouble, as Miss Velveteen has said in twice as many words, I... would appreciate it very much, Silver.

I talk to some interesting people at work.

[It's easier to get them to buy things if they think you have a personal interest, after all. Not to mention that people just like talking to themselves, or talking to each other like he doesn't exist. Even the red hair doesn't change that.]

If I hear about anything interesting, I'll send it your way. How's that sound to you two?

[He won't be in the business of sharing anything they don't need to know about, of course, but it is still help.]

[ That's the dictionary definition of a detective, Goro, don't give her that— ]

It sounds like you're our informant, not our mascot. [ Hmm... ] I suppose that suits you as well, however. We'll just have to find someone else to play mascot.

[don't say akira don't say akira don't say]

Aoi makes for a perfect mascot, I think. They usually use animal-like creatures for that anyway.

[whew]

But I agree, it suits you. In exchange, let me handle dinner for all of us. I like cooking too much to give it up.

[Sorry, I'm a cat. I'm only friends with people who feed me.]

No. I won't be your cat.

[...He's not even going to try to explain himself, is he.]

[excuse me]

I'm already planning on adopting one, so there's need to assume I'm going to be spoiling you.

[ wait hold on ]

You are? Well... [ ......... ] I suppose that's fine.

[ She'll just... take allergy medicine........ ]

Though Silver would make for a better cat... Humans are hypoallergenic, after all.

[...They can adopt cats. They can adopt ten cats. They...]

Are you allergic to cats, Liz?

Not if I take medicine, I suppose... [ not her favorite activity though. ] But normally, yes.

[.................... dammit.]

I'll do some research into... a cat that you may be able to stand with minimal medicine intake. There's breeds, I know, and I'll allow you to meet them outside before bringing them in.

[ w h o o p s ]

You don't need to worry so much about it. You should pick whichever you make a connection with, Akechi. That's the important part. [ ... ] I believe.

[...]

Well, you heard her. If you don't bring home the cat of your dreams, I'll bring home whatever cats I find.

[...Even if he probably shouldn't, given the magic animal friends... But he doesn't know when those guys are gonna show up, either. One cat couldn't hurt, right?]

[He still looks uncertain, but he'll nod.]

There's no need for that, I'll be certain to bring home one that chooses me. After we've settled.

[They should get used to living together for a little bit before he brings in another life...]

I'll refrain from bringing home anymore possibly spiritually-inclined until we've settled as well, in that case.

[ ...Thanks, Elizabeth? ]

Better pick one quick, Goro. We'll need it to ward off whatever's possessing Liz's box.

[Thanks, Elizabeth........]

If there's anything possessing her box.

Cats can sense spirits, can't they... We'll use Akechi's to decide whether or not the box is haunted then.

[ your eventual cat got signed up for ghost duty hth ]
