"Sounds like a plan." She links arms with Lu, and offers her other to Shinta.

...Shinta is not the type to link arms, generally.

(Worth trying on a special occasion.) Fair enough, then. Off to breakfast.

Meanwhile...

Li Xunyu has heard some interesting rumors. Ones she quietly brings up with Chengsu during their work period meeting.

"Some of the Americans are saying they know who killed that American maleficer."

Permalink

"Oh?"

"Girl named Luthien Higgins - the one trading the knives." There's something... Creepy about her. She hasn't spoken directly to the girl before, but the girl speaks Mandarin well enough to sometimes take literature or history classes in it, and there's just. Something about her face, possibly, the expressions she makes.

Still, the underclassmen seem to mind her slightly less, or at least are a bit more desperate for any weapon at all, and freshmen are a bit less leery of someone offering a weapon in exchange for a downright bargain amount of mana.

(Maybe not creepy, but... Something.)

"They're also saying she's a cannibal."

"Her?" Hm. "I could see it, I think."

"Not the cannibal thing, the killing. She's not a cannibal, people just say that because they think she's frightening."

Permalink

"Are you sure?"

Permalink

"Yes, Xunyu, I'm sure Luthien Higgins is not a cannibal."

Permalink

"I could ask her..."

Permalink

"Please don't ask her."

Permalink

"But how else will I know for sure?"

Permalink

Siiiiiiiiigh.

Permalink

"Unless you want to investigate for me..."

Permalink

"That might be safer overall."

Permalink

"You think she's a threat to me?"

Permalink

"She might be. Especially if she takes offense to direct accusations of cannibalism."

Permalink

"So you'll be indirect?"

Permalink

"At best."

Permalink

"Not planning to investigate at all?"

Permalink

"Subtly, Xunyu. Subtly."

Permalink

"You are better at that than me..."

Permalink

"So leave it to the professionals, hm?"

Permalink

"Alright..."

Permalink

"Leave it to me. Is there anything else specific you want to know?"
