--She will go where it is most suitable and secure for her. If that means I must investigate several claims, then let it be so.
How well do you know the girl?

However, I trust your judgment, Inspector. I just want Alice to have a loving home and I will check in on her regardless.

--You were her family once.
[The Inspector rarely acknowledges any references to the alternate lives many of the denizens of Somarium have experienced. Perhaps Tamaki was not even aware that Javert knew so much about the Valjean family during that first 'extra life.' Well, here is a rather large hint that Javert pays attention to certain details that may seem insignificant or irrelevant to him.
Not to mention the fact that Javert has thought about Valjean (alias Fauchelevent) and his family members considerably over the past several weeks, with Cosette's death lurking over his broad shoulders.
Javert's jaw twitches almost imperceptibly.]
What did the good Doctor tell you?

Er, yes?

And yes me. Only if the girl has no where else to go.

--No, there will be none of that.

Nothing good, Mademoiselle Prosecutor. Unfortunately. Not yet.

And there are still no leads within your own foolish investigation? Even after a month?

[There is a subtle twitch in his jaw.]
We can say the murderess's rough size, strength, the shape of her hand. I am sorry to say it is little use without a proper witness, not without identifying prints. I cannot play Cinder-Ella with a bloody palm on the wall, you understand.
That would require a different warrant.

No reason.]

Javert fixes a fierce and piercing gaze on the maid-woman.]
Well? [he prompts curtly.] Either speak or get back to your duties. What do you have for me?

[For some time.]
...There is trouble in the city, Sir?
Reply
Almost. Except his is far more sardonic than her emotionless, dead gaze.]
Apparently. Else I would be wasting my time. It is mostly a police matter.
[He looks at her closely.]
Your master must skip the dinner table conversations in your earshot.
