"... Heya, Stu?" Ears flattened, Miroku shoved a couple boxes of holographic memory chips aside, peering into the dark shadows in the back of the cupboard.

A brassy pair of eyes glinted back at him.

"Hmmmm?" Stuart hardly glanced up from comparing and correcting Miroku's calculations to his own. As par for the course- he would probably be in here another hour or two fixing the kitsune's work. ("You're just so much better at it than I am- you certainly don't want the project to go ker-blooey, right?")

Miroku's ears flattened, and he reached into the back of the cupboard, pulling out a brass statue of an egyptian monkey. "Well, I was going to ask if you'd seen my gameboy, but... second thought- what's this doing in the surprise closet?"

He thinks he's so smart.

Stuart finally did look up, eyes blinking behind his glasses, and looked at the statue Miroku was holding. "... No idea, really. Probably best to put it back, though. Remember the last time she caught you pok--"

"Right, right, right." Miroku muttered, putting the statue back, and started searching the next cupboard over.

Shuffle.

"-Hey!" Tails lashing, Miroku pulled back from the other cupboard, balancing precariously on the counter underneath. He narrowed his eyes, looking at the monkey statue on this shelf peering back at him. "Didn't I-"

Stuart rolled his eyes, looking back up at him. "Didn't you what?"

Cue Miroku grabbing the other cupboard door, and pulling it open to look inside.

No monkey statue.

Frowning, he looked back at the second cupboard, and--

No monkey statue.

"... Dude, something is seriously-"

"Hey, 'Roku? If you want me to finish this, shut up." Stuart snarled, and bent his head back over the calculations.

Miroku muttered, carefully shut both cupboard doors, and hopped down off the counter.

And then carefully, studiously ignored the brass monkey statue by the coffee pot before slipping out of the lab.

Little does he suspect...

Stuart just shook his head, and the sphinx went back to work with a sigh.

"...I just figure she has odd taste in decorating the place. Eh."
