{Here the screen fills again with that darling little face, all goggles and indifference, head tilting one side to the other as he thinks on his words. From what you can see within the frame, he's reclined comfortably on a purple couch, right hand holding the Forge aloft as the other remains unseen.
His left shoulder moves, though, as if he's stroking some small lapdog just out of view.}
Has anyone lost a woman, I wonder? Or has heard of one being lost.
{a chuckle}
Rather, has anyone heard of one being lost recently.
{That other hand pokes up now, a lock of red hair caught between a gloved index and middle finger. He flips the end of it back and forth before dropping it again, resuming the impromptu head massage}
I found her while out buying supplies, and it's a good thing I did! The girl was lying utterly dead to the world outside an apartment.
Quite beaten up, too.
{That would be Ezio's apartment, and yes, this would be Shirley. Shame you can't see her face. Also a shame that, no, she hasn't really officially gone missing as far as anyone else is concerned. This could be any redhead!}
Regardless, she's here, and I've fixed her up as best I could. It's a shame. If I were a creature more like I used to be, she'd likely be splattered about the streets like a spent fleshbomb. {sigh} Amazing how often the errors of our ways come back to remind us why we change...
{etc etc etc}
Hn. Well, if anyone hears word of a missing female in Anatole, do send them my way. If not, I'll simply be letting her go out on her own once she's in better health.
