Awww. That little guy is cute.

[Dead lady coming through!]

[deadfreesia]

[Hi, Mamoru does not recognize you. He's trying to pretend he isn't flustered right now.]

I suppose he is. But a little overly curious, I think.

[nothisghost]

Can't you tell? He's just a baby!

[So holding out her arms for the cutie-pie!]

[deadfreesia]

[Shiro clearly loves this attention. He trills and walks right over, face a perfect picture of joy.]

That's true.

They're high-maintenance, aren't they.

[nothisghost]

Hi there. You're just a bundle of joy.

[She looks up with a big mischievous grin.]

Are you going to put a shirt on or are you trying to impress me?

[deadfreesia]

[He's just finishing the last button on that now. Won't be answering the tease with more than an expectant look.

Togepi begins to chirp and chatter at her. He's just glad to have a friendly ear.]

[nothisghost]

So what's his name? Or should I just call him Cutie?

[deadfreesia]

Shiro.

[Shiro jumps up with a little cheer when he hears his name. He's so happy to have one now!]

[nothisghost]

Shiro. That's a good name for you.

[She uses a hand to play with him because such a happy thing should be played with!]

[deadfreesia]

[After several seconds of Shiro playing right back without interruption, Mamoru speaks up.]

Excuse me. I didn't hear your name.

Huh?

[nothisghost]

Oh! Oops! I'm Asuka. It's nice to meet you!

[deadfreesia]

Asuka...

[Gears turning now. And it's a distant memory, but he's searching for the face of that young woman from Schreient Youji tried so hard to save... It's familiar.]

Mamoru Takatori. It's nice to meet you too. Please, forgive my asking, but... may I have your family name as well?

[nothisghost]

Takatori, huh? There's a family name that's pretty well known.

[She nods.] Asuka Murase. You've heard of me?

[deadfreesia]

I have... You're a private investigator, aren't you?

[nothisghost]

That's me.
