*Looks out their bedroom window at actual moonlight, over an actual sea. Gathering a robe around them, they go out for a bit of a walk*
*They vaguely chide themself for walking around on the beach barefoot in April, but they keep doing so anyway*
*Cassius feels something sharp underfoot. Crouching, and after checking to make sure there is no cut, they pick up a seashell and study it*
*Pocketing it into the robe, they decide to take it back to London in a week*
*H---, they may even let the waves run over their toes for awhile. Until they cannot stop shivering from how cold it is*
4:19AM:
*comes back inside, shivering still, feet wet & cold*
*Dusting the sand off their feet, they are met with a small, green-eyed and auburn haired girl*
FLORA: ***** Lw**? What aw you dwoing up? *fidgets with her nightdress, looking down* Where aw yowr shwoes?
*Chuckling, more proud that she noticed no shoes, then wanting to ask what she is doing out of bed.* Yes, I am not wearing shoes. *grins*
*Scooping her up into their arms, they go towards the rental`s kitchen. Hoping to find them both some milk and maybe leftover scones*

1:53AM:
*Cassius sits with Robin at the rental`s kitchen table. Mail and a telegraph they have been waiting on have arrived regarding Belfast*
ROBIN: You questioned him on events to narrow the time when he`d left? CASSIUS: Yes, and yes. The poor boy could not recall any. *sighs*
*Without being able to search the city themselves, they have managed to locate a rather large watchmaker business.*
*Besides the size it seems to fit the profile. Run by a Mr. Copernic. Married with 2 children. Employing a Mrs. Plumb.*
ROBIN: *frowns, his worried face seeming sadder when he reads the telegraph* Son deceased STOP Been to gravesite STOP Name Louis Alexander
*and Cassius just starts laughing hard* That confirms it! We have found the correct woman, in any case. Louis Alexander Plumb is quite well!
ROBIN: *Still frowning, but raising an eyebrow* An empty grave then? Some news like this had better be delivered in person.
*Thinking* What`re we going to do? *Cassius just takes a drink of tea, thinking about what A***** would do.*
*"L**?" And snapping fingers, finally shaking them out of it*
*and thus the two of them spend the night trying to work something out. Who to ask, and what to do.*

5:52PM:
*After getting sent away by a servant at A*****`s parents` door, Cassius takes the flowers to the memorial anyway*
*It isn`t the actual grave-that will be in a couple days-but they still break-down when they lay the white hyacinth & forget-me-nots on it*
*They could not bare to look-up the meaning of the hyacinth, but the white blooms were one of the few flowers A***** liked.*
*Gathering themself up, they sit in silence awhile. But then go off to busy themself with shopping for people*
6:52PM:
