Lucretia and Oboro are on the case...but first, there has to be tea involved...



Lucretia: *is sitting inside the cafe, holding a steaming cup of green tea, taking a break from writing up the battle for her memoirs...Frasier dozes at her feet quietly*

Oboro: *Waltzes into the unfamiliar cafe and glances around the tables and until his eyes land on Lucretia. Helping himself to the seat across from her and giving a crooked smile to Frazier, he greets the tactician* Evening, Lady Lucretia. I hope I haven't kept you waiting too long!

Lucretia: No, not at all! I just needed someplce quiet to finish writing things up - the castle insides are still so busy. How have you been?

Oboro: I'm doing swell, if I do say so. I'm rather adjusted to the constant hubbub, so I've had no trouble making this place my home! And you? Have you found this place to your liking?

Lucretia: I always had the feeling that adventure would follow me whereever I went, and this place is no exception. It feels very comfortable, now that so many of our compatriots are here with us. Almost like old times. *smiles, sipping her tea*

Oboro: *Returns her smile with a wry one* Yes, but that stakes aren't as high as last time. But what a shock! Just appearing here out of the blue! Wouldn't you say, Lady Lucretia?

Lucretia: It wasn't too shocking for me...I didn't appear out of the blue at all. I had been doing a lot of travelling since I left Falena, but I ended up settling down in the Toran Republic. I had a young man interview me recently for my memoirs, and I figured that I should pick up stakes again, and do a bit more travelling. Time certainly flies! *would flutter, if she had her fan*

Oboro: *leans forward in shock, though it does seem a bit planned* Why you mean to say you've lived out these passed thrity-something years!? You don't look a day older than I remember, I'm jealous~

Lucretia: Clean living, my friend. And steering clear of trouble. Worry ages one, you know. *sips her tea* But the big secret...*leans forwards towards him and looks around conspiratorially* Moisturize, moisturize, [moisturize]! There is a special facial lotion that I order from Crystal Valley and it does wonders!

Oboro: *nods his head taking in all the information* Well I do try to live an honest, carefree life. But past mistakes seem to catch up I guess~ Though I did have a young one tell me I don't look my age! It was enough to boost my ego for the day.

Oboro: But YOU, Lady lucretia~ Simply amazing. It's a real mystery, that lotion must be made from the fountain of youth!

Lucretia: You never have looked your age. And the lotion...let's just say that Harmonia holds close its secrets, hmm? *continues smiling*

Oboro: Heh heh, now Harmonia, there's a place I've heard has been busy!

Lucretia: A lot is going on there, I've heard. Not that I worry too much about it - things have been horribly busy here. Have you come up with anything in regards to that note we found the other day?

Oboro: Hm, yes. But remind me to read up on my history, will you? I can be a bit absent minded. As for the note? I think it's safe to say Richmond is most likely stuck somewhere in distress--How's your tea?

Lucretia: The tea is wonderful - I'm sorry, I should have ordered you a cup as soon as you sat down! This is what I get for being so enthralled with our conversation. *quickly orders Oboro a cup of tea from the NPC waitperson*

Oboro: *thanks the NPC with a smile and brinsg his attention back to Lucretia* Oh, no need ! It was me caught up in the conversation. *Takes a sip from his cup* Now then, onto the case of the missing Detective...

Lucretia: *turns a little more serious* You do remember where we found Bianca, yes? I don't believe he would be very far from there. Although, I don't have a map of the castle and all of its rooms, so...

Oboro: *keeps his wry smile* You're right. And I think our best bet is the lower levels of the castle. Bianca smelled a bit musty.

Oboro: ...Not that I make it a habit to sniff cats, mind you.

Lucretia: *raises an eyebrow to the first part of the statement, but lets her features relax once he finishes and manages to chuckle softly* It is sort of dusty down there and Richmond...well, he does seem the sort to look for things in dusty places. Shall we look there first?

Oboro: I say that sounds like an excellent idea. The poor man probably got himself stuck doing some dirty investigations. I know that kind of situation first hand.

Lucretia: *nods, knowingly* I know. But first, we finish our tea? *smile*

Oboro: What's the rush? *picks up his cup and gestures it in Lucretia's direction before taking a sip*

Lucretia: None at all. *continues sipping and smiles*

tea, oboro, richmond
