[ 30 ] accidental video

[princedetective]

[ Naoto is sitting at the kitchen table in her apartment. Books can be seen piled around her, and she appears lost in thought, one book open in front of her and a piece of scrap paper before her, pen in hand, her other hand propping up her chin, hair mussed and hat off. Hell, the top button of her shirt is even undone

{Ace sits and watches for a little bit, curiously trying to peer at the pages and see what she's reading. At first he doesn't want to disturb her and let her know the device is on, but then--and perhaps this really was the pirate in him--he decides to speak up, with the devilish thought in mind that she might jump at the sudden noise.}

What're you reading?

[ If he was expecting a dramatic reaction, he doesn't get it. Her shoulders stiffen-well, "his" shoulders, by all appearances, as she's still cross-dressing-slightly, and her face is down-turned enough that any facial expression is somewhat hidden. She looks up and around, quickly catching sight of the communicator and noting that it is on with a slight raising of her eyebrows. ]

Law.

{He shifted, reaching out to turn on his video function and share his image with the... what looked like a young boy? Maybe? It was kinda hard to tell with such fair features. A pretty boy if anything, not that he was a creeper like that.

He just blinked a moment, leaning over to set his chin on his fist while he watched the video feed.}

Oh yeah? Thinking about trying to establish something here?

{Now this, this he would honestly need to know. Being a pirate by nature. Information gathering was go~ And with luck, he'd gain his/her trust and get away with things a little easier >3}

I am hardly a lawyer. This is for my own interest. However, we are working to establish a new system, yes.

[ Her tone polite and formal, if disinterested. She speaks like a boy, too, low voiced from habit. She sticks her paper in between the pages of her book, closing it around, and looks back at the lens expectantly. ]

Mn, I heard things in passing. I know they've got a police force?

{He was rolling right along, ignoring the tone of her--his?(He still wasn't 100%) voice. Though he does kind of tilt his head curiously at the expectant look.}

Ah... sorry.

{He scratches his head.} I uh, I can let you go if I'm distracting you?

[princedetective]

You are not. [ With a slight, almost apologetic, decline of her head. ] I had merely wondered if you had additional questions or concerns.

[ She pauses politely. ] There is a police force, yes. We work together with the lawyers, but we are currently working to reframe.
