[WEEK 3, FRIDAY POST-INVESTIGATION: Akira]

[spinatalltale]

[it's a few hours after the investigation, and Magilou is-- well. THERE'S STILL A BIG CAT IN THE LONGHOUSE!!]

[. . . but she hasn't entered the building yet, instead sitting outside on its porch, book propped open on her knees. it's not an uncommon sight for her on Fridays, and honestly? Akira is more familiar with it than most]

[her expression is blank when he first approaches her, distant and lost in thought, but she seems to jump back to reality when she notices he's nearby. and then-- she grins]

Hey.

I wanna pet the cat again.

. . . which day of the week is that?

[investigation day? trial day? execution day?]

[jokered]

Probably trial day. But any one day in general, I guess.

[spinatalltale]

I feel like I was pretty grounded today, all things considered.

Tomorrow I'm going back to the clouds.

Maybe I'll attach a string to your ankles like a balloon so you don't float away mid-trial.
