One Case Closed

[miamijustice]

[ACTION]

[Having arrived in one of the minority of empty houses to be found, Horatio Caine was spared the indignity of walking around shirtless. He's already got his suit and shows and all that classy stuff on before he's ready to set out into town. Moreover, he also has gone out of his way to skim this book he found. It seems almost like a

[Oh hey, it's some guy she's never seen before. ... In a suit, too. That's ... definitely not a common sight in Luceti, really. Rika will just watch to see where H is going for now. It's not like suits are 100% uncommon, but in Luceti ... they definitely stand out a bit.]

Mii ...?

[miamijustice]

[...That sound summons him to there being a-

Why is a nine year old wandering alone in the streets? H doesn't like this at all. He puts on a much brighter, reassuring aura as he crouches down a bit to be at level with Rika there-]

Hello there.

[probablyacat]

[Oh, he's coming over and talking to her now. Okay, that's cool then \o/ She'll just smile up at him.]

Hello!

[miamijustice]

[Lost child syndrome here, he smiles back there, couched down so she doesn't need to look up as much]

My name is Horatio, can you tell me yours?

[mog_summoner]

[Somebody walking around in a suit is a pretty odd sight for Eiko. So she's just gonna be stalking him a little, watching what he's doing.]

[miamijustice]

[...And another lost child. He frowns lightly before turning to her and-]

Hello there.

[mog_summoner]

[That earns a frown back. She was hoping not to get noticed so quickly.]

Hi.

[miamijustice]

[Eiko, this man is a police officer. You six year old sneaking is drastically inferior to him. Still, after Eiko does that, he's going to crouch down and give her a reassuring smile]

Hey there... can I help you?

[Tom just so happens to be on his way to the library. His journal is closed and cupped under a hand at his side. He's wearing his Hogwarts robes today, as it has gotten rather chilly and a simple sweater vest does not keep out enough cold.]

[miamijustice]

[...Well that kid certainly looks suspicious, but nothing H needs to check out immediately. He'll spare a glance, but it's not polite to stare and all, you know? Mr. Sunglasses here has places to go not really]

[hereisariddle]

[He gets a stare in return. Sunglasses, suit, definitely a Muggle. Tom hasn't been around long enough to find it odd to encounter someone he doesn't recognize, but the fact that the suit has a rather large bulge in back and hasn't been altered for his wings has Tom curious.

The library can wait; after all, it isn't as if he hasn't been there before. And besides, he's been needing to practice his diplomacy skills when it comes to Muggles. This is a perfect opportunity.

So instead of continuing his walk, he turns and addresses the man.]

Are you new here? [Feel free to notice his accent.]

[miamijustice]

I am, actually. [Still, because it's a kid, it's not harsh. Plus that accent... provided he's not from a weird world, he's British or at least from a British family. Earth]

[miamijustice]

[Horatio's going to turn and... hello fellow adult. Still, he smiles a little ironically there and replies-]

Can you?

[miamijustice]

It is... colder than one would except, at least.

[andahardplace]

[And here we have a man built like a tank.]

There are worse places.

[miamijustice]

[Yes but where and what's with the random talking to random people man? Also, you're really big. Also this is action s Horatio looks up at the guy all not-intimidated like]

There are.

[andahardplace]

[Because he's a nice guy at heart? Despite... not having one.]

Indeed.

[miamijustice]

[...Well then, this was an exhilarating conversation.]
