[ a little bit after the body announcement, steph will track belph down. it probably wouldn't look that weird, considering they were together during investigation. ]

Hey. Wanna take a walk with me?

[ it's really not a question. ]

[ 1. don't curse us like that; 2. BELPH?????? ]

Probably not. [ ... ] Hey, Belph?

[axilium]

[sometimes... things happen...]

Hmm?

[vigilantics]

What are your thoughts on chocolate?

[ ???? ]

[axilium]

... Because that isn't completely random or anything?

[vigilantics]

Just answer the question.

[axilium]

Yeah, I like it. Now can you tell me why?

[vigilantics]

We're on a walk, so we're about to have our first official best friend activity together.

[ she changes their course for the kitchen. ]

Sweets are good for stress. The sugar helps your brain process stuff better.

[ she doesn't actually know if that's true but she'll say it like it is. ]

[axilium]

... Gorging on sweets after a murder is a little morbid, but sure, why not?

[vigilantics]

It's not morbid and it's not gorging, shut up.

[ let her stuff her face in peace!! ]

It just makes me feel better.

[axilium]

Well, who am I to deny you your pleasures?

[vigilantics]

Trust me, it's definitely the other way around.

[ she made brownies!! completely from scratch!!! ]

[axilium]

[uwah]

Let's see what you've got, because I have no clue.

[vigilantics]

[ she will lead him to the kitchen where she has stashed away her... stash. of brownies. it probably would be safer to keep it in her room but she doesn't actually care if others eat them. ]

Tada! For you.

[axilium]

[this seems a tad questionable but whatever.

anyway he'll gasp and place his hand over his chest.]

For me? I'm honoured. [a beat.] As long as they aren't terrible or anything.

[vigilantics]

Do I look like the kind of person who would feed you something not delicious?

[ probably. ]

We have a long day tomorrow, so it's good to just take a moment and breathe.

[axilium]

Do you want an honest answer to that?

[but he'll take a brownie.]

You might as well start baking for the entire castle at this rate.

[vigilantics]

That'll be a lot of brownies...

[ she actually... looks around at the kitchen as if she's contemplating this. ]

[axilium]

And think, you can eat them all yourself if nobody wants them.

[vigilantics]

I am pretty sure if I attempted that I would be too sick to do anything in the trial.
