Uhm, hi . . . My name is Ahiru.

I'm looking for someone. His name is Fakir. I . . . can't seem to find him? And I don't know where he is. Maybe someone can help me look?

He looks like this.

[ she holds up a picture. clearly a perfect artist's rendition of fakir. ]



He also scowls a lot and looks like he's bored, but he's very nice actually! He's a ballet dancer and uhm . . . [ ahiru fiddles with her dress. ] . . . I just want to make sure he's okay.

When was the last time you saw him?

[danserai]

A few weeks ago. Which is fine, he usually keeps to himself but . . .

[His voice is still rough, but there's a gentleness about it as well. Like he was actively concerned with her.]

Why don't we look for him together? I'm good at finding people, and you know the kind of places he might go.

[stoicsilhouette]

Did you try reaching out to his omen or visiting him?

[He's just covering all bases.]

[danserai]

[ she nods. ]

Thanks, Mr. Reaper. I looked, but maybe you'll see something I've missed.

[danserai]

Mm, I tried all of that.

[stoicsilhouette]

I see. Do you have an item that belonged to him by chance?

[danserai]

No . . . I don't have anything like that.

[stoicsilhouette]

That's fine. Tell you what, if we go near his home Kage may be able to pick up his scent and we can see where she leads us?

[danserai]

[ a nod, relieved. ]

That would be lovely, thank you.

[no_reload]

Perhaps that's true, but we won't know until we look. Are you home or out right now?

[danserai]

I'm just outside. I thought I'd go look some more.

[stoicsilhouette]

You're welcome.

Where does he live? I'm currently out near the shore.

[Something about that drawing does seem familiar, though it takes Robyn a few minutes to recognize who it could be.]

Oh! I've met him before. He gave me some food when I first came here a few months ago.

[no_reload]

Then let's go have a look.

[Reaper can just teleport from the window to where Ahiru was outside in a swirl of black smoke.]

Where and when was the last time you saw him?

[danserai]

He stays in a house nearby. I'll take you there?

[danserai]

It's been a few weeks after our picnic.

[danserai]

He did?

[ wow, that's nice of him. which isn't to say fakir isn't nice, but those moments are rare. ]

[no_reload]

I assume you normally speak with him regularly?

Text to Action

[stoicsilhouette]

Sounds good.

[About thirty minutes later, Megumi shows up at Ahiru's door. At his side is Kage whose tail wags excitedly back and forth. Already having picked up Ahiru's scent, she happily waits to see a familiar face.

With both hands in his pockets and his eyes looking down towards Kage. Megumi's energy feels calm and grounded. While not exactly opposites, its clear the pair greet very differently.]

You ready to go?

[the_obedient_servant]

Fakir's gone missing?

[Oh, they're going to hunt him for sport.]

[Tinya's voice is filled with both worry and compassion] I haven't seen him recently. If you want, I could help you look around? Where does he usually like to go?

[ How many kids does this place have? ]

So that's what a ballet dancer looks like, huh?

[wolfhunted]

Yes. But I haven't seen very much of him after that. You don't think...

[That he went back into the ocean, is what Robyn was about to say, but she's not sure if that's something this girl wants to hear right now.]

[schoolingfish]

I haven't seen him. Maybe he turned back into a squid? People here do that sometimes.
