Summary: Praise needs more information on Wolf. Prongs seems easily manipulatable.
------
He seemed to have brought a lot of his business to The Aquarium, whether knowingly or not. He had arranged for Zombie to meet him here, he was meeting Prongs now, and it was the same place that Justice had informed Raise of his more violent activities. Perhaps there was some subconscious pattern to it- trying to turn it into just another location, rather than one with heartfelt memories attached to it. (Well.. for Raise. praise considered himself above those pesky 'feelings'.) It was more likely that it just seemed to be a convenient place.
It was hardly the safest, as Kazahana and truth's deaths had shown, but he would take what he got.
Whatever the case and the reasoning, Praise was, again, waiting at the entrance to the aquarium for his hapless victim to arrive. He was lounging on a seat, golden eye idly watching the fish go by, with the occasional flicker of a pink tentacle.
At least Bernard was behaving. He had been half-wondering if she was going to try and show up to Bubble's ball. For all he knew, she might have, but he didn't think so. he didn't feel like putting up with her clicking and antics, especially when he was trying to figure things out.
For once, he had a half-formed plan with no true goal at the end of it. Over the past few meetings, he had been introducing the idea of Fallen killing Aurora to residents of the sphere. (After all, who really knew that it was him? Probably only a few that were close to him and Raise.) And now, after meeting with Fenrir, he had a scapegoat for the triple homicides. He still had to wonder what he was gaining from shuffling the blame, aside from his own amusement... but that was enough for now. Praise was nothing if not an impulsive creature.
Well... for now, he would focus on gathering more information. While he seemed unable to discover anything about the grander nature of the sphere, he was certainly learning a lot about its residents.
His lips twisted upwards in a sort of sick amusement. It all hinged on how willing Prongs was to play along... or even better yet, how much Praise could delude him.
