You looked like you were in a little pain. [Of course that's what he noticed.] Did you have to fight?

[axilium]

Something like that, yes.

[okitactless]

...Can you talk about it? [...] Will you?

[axilium]

[he shrugs.]

Not much to say. We had to solve a murder mystery, but the surprise twist at the end was that the culprit was one of us, except brainwashed. Then we had to go through with the execution.

[okitactless]

Brainwashed? Like possession?

[axilium]

More like... I don't know how to put it. It was more like a different story had been written for us—hence the weird outfits—and the culprit was playing their role.

I wouldn't say it was anything that deep or thought out. After they were revealed, they didn't say anything or really react—just went after us.

[okitactless]

Then... was it the story of another place? Like the castle?

[axilium]

Don't read too much into it. I don't think even whatever came up with the story did.

[okitactless]

If you say so...

[He sounds. Doubtful.]

Did you learn anything, at least? [Wouldn't it be funny if they didn't]

[axilium]

Nope. It was kind of a useless excursion.

[okitactless]

[BELPH PLEASE.]

Really? Nothing at all?

[They tried so hard and got so far and ended up with nothing???]

[axilium]

[he shrugs.]

We got items. Just nothing hugely useful.

[okitactless]

[Well, not every excursion can end with treasure, but still... he sighs, rubbing his eyes. Why are the Grimms like this.]

Did you at least tell somebody you were planning to investigate somewhere, before you went?

[axilium]

How many friends do you think I have here?

[okitactless]

[Goddammit Belph]

At least tell Sanji-kun, next time! Or me, if you want to. [Though he's assuming Belph wouldn't, which is fair enough, since they didn't tell Belph about their break-in either.]

[axilium]

Duly noted.

[yams is correct.]
