[Although anyone finding themselves here might have only taken one flight of stairs up or down, this short hallway is at least ten stories above the nearest courtyard. Look to the right; a couple yards down, the hallway comes to a dead end at an open door

Is that a...? No, it can't be.

[He's still investigating, though. That's no ordinary butterfly.]

[case_card]

[It's definitely not an ordinary butterfly, being made of Innocence, although it can't fulfill its purpose very well at the moment. There doesn't seem to be any physical reason the thing can't fly; it just, well, can't.]

[Unless Cyril's right at the doorway, the butterfly will just continue to flutter and crawl without any real purpose. It might chatter a little bit if it bumps into him, but it won't try to bite.]

[itisasillyplace]

[When he gets closer, he realises what it's made of, and a rather nasty smile spreads over his face.]

Innocence, hmm~? I rather think I ought to destroy it, but where's its Exorcist?

[He pauses when he reaches the doorway, looking through.]

[Tyki is sitting in a window seat, bandaged up, with one arm in a sling. There's a bottle of whiskey and a crutch lying on the floor next to him, and a third-style Exorcist coat hanging on a chair nearby.]

[Oh, by the way, has anyone told you that you look just like one of this guy's worst nightmares? Well, if they haven't, it's probably obvious from the way this guy nearly jumps out of his skin at the sight of Cyril.]

[promisedlotus]

[He recognizes the white Tease, but the way it's flickering... well, obviously it's not a good thing. Just a quick peek into the room.]

Alive, Mikk?

[casexcard]

[He jumps a bit, just startled.] What else would I be?

[He's sitting in a window seat, bandaged up and with an arm in the sling. Whiskey and a crutch are within reach, and a third-style Exorcist coat is hanging on a nearby chair.]

[promisedlotus]

The hell happened to you?

[casecard]

I fell off a ladder. Well, it actually threw me off. Quite surprising, really.

[ivorylullabies]

[Her first reaction, seeing any butterfly in that shape, is to suck in a quick breath before letting it out again. But this isn't an ordinary Tease. It's Innocence.]

[Allen's brow furrows as she steps toward the flickering thing, and attempts to scoop it up in her hand.]

[case_card]

[As long as she's careful, the butterfly is easily scooped up -- but if she's too rough, it will crack, and any piece that falls off will vanish. The butterfly chatters and tries to crawl around her hand, but it won't bite.]

[There's a voice from inside the room, though. Tyki's noticed his butterfly isn't quite where he left it.] Who's there?

[ivorylullabies]

[She's careful with it, definitely. The moment she hears that familiar voice, however, she brings herself to a full stand and pokes her head inside.]

... Tyki?

[casexcard]

[Tyki's sitting on a window seat. He's bandaged up, and there's a crutch on the floor within reach, next to a bottle of whiskey. A third-style Exorcist coat is hanging on a chair nearby.]

Oh? [He blinks and relaxes a little.] You know my name, Miss. Mind telling me yours?
