[he glances up, eying the other him warily. Well, at least he doesn't smell...]
A sorcerer, yes, and-- are you sure Watson didn't knock over the cloning spell ingredients again? [because this guy reeks of magical energy] You see, it's happened once before, and cleaning up was far too much of a hassle.
Quite sure. Verious points make me confident in my analysis, least of which being I have no memory of any accident with spells, nor even how to engineer one.
Also, seeing as I claim to detective skills rather than the practice of magic, that would be another point against the 'clone' theory.
Dete-- [that was weird, this... undead version of himself was the second person to hint that Hakuba should be a detective instead]
An illusion, perhaps? She's knocked over ingredients that cause that as well-- [as if to protest, Watson nips her beak at his ear]
Oh, don't start that, you know it's true! Here, let me check. [and he steps forward to place one of his... occupied hands on the other Hakuba's shoulder]
[....well, he expected this, didn't he? after all, in a place like this, it would see fit that he'd run into another of himselves at some point]
[and it was good to see watson again]
Hello.

Watson lets out a slightly panicked shriek as she continues to circle his head]
Oh... well, did I-- [he turns to his book and flips it open again, though it's difficult to leaf through it while he's carrying the bowl]
-- this isn't a cloning spell gone wrong, I hope.

[coming closer, looking interested]

[he does not particularly want to be mistaken for a meal again]
Not an illusion either, I am afraid.
Though I would request you not attempt to alter the spells on me. Most of them are tied into my well-being.

I don't think I could even if I tried.

Interesting. [then he withdraws] Akako-chan? As in... Detective Koizumi Akako?

[he looks up at the bird above and affects a smile, the expression not quite ntural]
Although she did not have Watson as a familiar.

[Watson seems to pick up on the unnatural smile, and she puffs out her wings in response]
Forgive her, she seems to be a bit... testy today. [and that earns him another earn nip]

[And if you look, the pinkie and ring finger of his left hand are slightly discoloured.
Retrieving them was not a fun task.]

I don't think you have to worry about that.

Akako-chan was most upset when I told her she was not allowed to eviscerate my Watson for doing so.
[And no, it doesn't twig for him that this might be something better said more delicately]
[He tilts his head slightly to one side]
Would you like a tour? I understand there are rooms here to stay in, though I have nto claimed one for myself as of yet.
Reply
Perhaps that wasn't the best thing to say around her.
[It definitely seems like she isn't coming down for a while, at any rate]
A tour would be helpful, yes.
