[SNOOOOZE. Someone is sleeping in one corner of the museum. In the dark. Let's forward date this to Riful having just eaten someone and is now very full, too damn lazy to go back to the high school, and so food coma-ing in the museum, where she's never really bothered to explore before.]
[AHAHA YEAH. XD ARE YOU HAPPY YOU FINALLY FOUND SOMEONE SHORTER THAN YOU, SHRIMP?
Annnd she's not a very heavy sleeper so blinking up at Edward now, and making a face before the brain catches up and she remembers she needs to play nice.]
[SORRY IT HAD TO BE A TINY PREPUBESCENT LITTLE GIRL, AMIRITE?
Right, of course. Monsters, murderers, little girl-waif fragile body, and humans who are genuinely concerned about her~ Facade is go!]
Ah... you are right, aren't you? Oh, I really didn't mean to go to sleep here. [She didn't expect anyone to uh, step on her.] I was just very tired and it seemed quite far from the high school.
[NO, I MEANT, 'SORRY THAT IT HAD TO BE A TINY PREPUBESCENT LITTLE GIRL WHO WAS SHORTER THAN YOU', NEH~ 8D
And Riful shakes her head a little, clearing out the sleepiness. She needs to be a better actor than this.]
Ah, not often, I wouldn't say. I really don't know what came over me... [She tilts her head to one side, expression contemplative.] Goodness, it's not a very safe thing to do, is it? I hope it doesn't happen often.
Riful's just strange. :< Though she's hoping it comes off as vaguely ignorant, maybe even ditzy and not 'homicidal monster'.]
But are there monsters down here? I hadn't been aware they went inside. [Hrmm, probably time to switch topics.] Ah, if it isn't safe, then what are you doing here, Edward?
The act is pretty effective, although there's still that nagging suspicion in the back of his mind... Well, there's not much to do about it besides keep an eye out. Watch his own back -- just in case.]
Not sure, actually...but hell, you never know. This building was blocked off for a while, actually.
[He pauses, blinks.] Not safe for a nap, at least. I'm doing some research.
[Well, she probably won't try to eat him again... Really too much trouble, all things considered. That arm... :< She'll wait til she gets her powers back, oh yes~]
Ah, really? [She glances about. It wasn't particularly hard to get in, really.] Whatever happened? [And now have a inquisitive glance~] Research... does anything here corroborate to what we found on the trip?
[Yeah, that automail's like chewing on tin foil, fff.]
An earthquake. [...] That's right -- you must have gotten here after that. [He pauses, glancing back around the room.] Most of it doesn't have anything to do with the research lab...this is old history. But you never know what'll help.
I must have missed that-- ah, I certainly don't recall there being an earthquake during the time I was here.
[Riful is really... not altogether familiar with the concept of a museum, so it's all just. Yeah, meaningless human history to her. But digging for information she does understand.] That's certainly very true. Mm, have you discovered anything of interest?
[He shoves his hands in his pockets.] I'm not quite sure yet, to be honest. There's a lot of information, but I haven't put it together to figure out what the hell it means.

The hell-- ...Riful? You all right?
[Obviously he doesn't quite get the idea that if someone else is sleeping, they wouldn't want to be woken up any more than he would.]

Was that really necessary?

He glances down at her with a lifted eyebrow.]
Tch-- you see someone passed out on the floor of the museum, what the hell are you supposed to think? It's not exactly an ideal spot for a nap.

A pause; something about Riful just doesn't add up, but he can't really put a thumb on what.]
Right...I see. Guess it happens, sometimes.

Her acting is fine, really, but sleeping in the museum? Coupled with that little fight from a few weeks ago...something's just strange.]
Definitely not. [...] But at least you ended up inside somewhere, I guess. Not on the streets.

Thought so. You wouldn't be the only one.
