"Ambush most likely, after New York weakened her. My instinct is a student rather than a mal; your patrol records don't have any irregularities to imply we've missed something big lurking in the background over the past week or so and I didn't find any significant traces from a sweep of the stairwell or the dorm hall. No sign of a body though, which is a point against the student hypothesis."

"Wasn't that American maleficer keeping parts of corpses in her room...? Another maleficer with the same tastes could've gotten her." There have been a lot of wild rumors flying around. 

"Room hasn't been touched. All the, ah, trophies are still there."

"And then there's those rumors of cannibals."

"It's not cannibals this time either."

"You sure?"

"Jacky W was not a small girl. It's not that easy to eat an entire body."

"So we'd need either a large group of cannibals, or someone with adequate food storage..."

Sigh. "Again, Xunyu, the cafeteria is right there. Humans are not a good food source, even with as many people clogging the lines as there are this year."

"There could be a cult. Or a maleficer ritual. Or someone is just really kinky."

"How would- No, I don't want to know. Anyway. All of that is still more complicated than there just being no cannibals."

Siiiiiiiigh. "I suppose someone could've just dumped the body in the void. But that'd be boring..."

"Are your classes still not challenging enough, princess?"

"Don't say that too loud. The school might hear you."

"I'm just saying, if you need conspiracy theories to occupy your mind..."

"I'm just keeping an eye on the possibilities."

"However outlandish they may be. I'm almost starting to think you might be one of those 'really kinky someones'."

Light shove. "That's just slander."

Giggle. "If you're going to eat me, please start with my feet! I need my hands to work!"

Eyebrow waggle. "Dream of someone nibbling on your toes?"

"It's my duty to serve, Xunyu. Just trying to make sure I'm still of some use outside that context."

"'A pretty girl with her mouth on your feet' doesn't sound like a dream of you doing the serving."

"Oh, well, if you'd prefer to reverse the positions..."

"To you nibbling my feet, or to me serving you?"

"Whichever you prefer!"
