Log: The Investigation (Shigure)

[aloof_savant]

[ Caesar is sitting on the grass just nearby the lake. Normally he would be napping around this time, but he seems to be deep in thought, perhaps even troubled. ]

What's gonna happen if they really can't go back...?

My parents are strict about me marrying a girl of status, but to hell with that! I can marry whoever I want, right? And until we ARE married and it's official, she is pretending to be my housekeeper so they don't catch wind of this...

...and for the record, I was the one who proposed! [ Recalling Shigure's earlier joke. ]

This secret... it really is a deep one. I see why you were hesitant to spill the beans. [Gets up and takes another inhale from his pipe as he's still genuinely surprised by this information.] I don't think I can top this.

[aloof_savant]

[ He laughs to himself, not many people can top a made up story after all. ]

So you see, that's how it is. And now we're square, detective.

[what_a_pain]

[He's positive he's got what he came for. Even if it turned out much much much differently than he was expecting.]

Heh, yes. It looks that way... Well, I hate to cut this so short, but I'm sure you've got a lot to think about. Maybe we can chat again some time in the near future?

[aloof_savant]

[ Not surprised at all by the abrupt end to the conversation, this confirms Caesar's suspicions, although he's more amused than bothered at this point. ]

I look forward to it.
