Dossier Eight

[The swings seem to be the location of voice for upset little girls. Henrietta is kicking her feet absently, her violin case sitting, as it always does, close at hand. She pushes herself off a little, sees a constellation between her shoes.]

Orion...

[Still kind of dlkfhsdkflnds over the whole.. accidentally.. poisoning someone.. thing, but oh well!]

Henrietta?

[Looks up in surprise, and then back down.] Hello, Chris.

[ghostlighter]

[Frowns and moves over, leaning against the frame of the swing set.] Something going on?

[fireintothesky.livejournal.com]

...Signore Jose and I have to go on a mission with the Elsa and Signore Luaro fratello.

[ghostlighter]

[... fffffft. He remembers what she said about those two.]

What kind of mission?

[fireintothesky.livejournal.com]

We have to assassinate the chief of police in another city.

[ghostlighter]

[Chris closes his eyes for a moment, then nods.]

Why those two?

[fireintothesky.livejournal.com]

Well, it's supposed to be their mission. [Glares at the ground.] Luaro wanted another team, but Triela and Signore Hilshire aren't home.

[ghostlighter]

So he picked you? Or... was it not his choice?

[fireintothesky.livejournal.com]

I guess. There might not have been anyone else.

[ghostlighter]

[He nods a little, despite the fact she isn't looking.]

So... What are you going to do?

[fireintothesky.livejournal.com]

[Looks up at him in surprise] What do you mean?

[ghostlighter]

[He just shrugs.] Well, you don't like them, right?

[fireintothesky.livejournal.com]

Well... no, but... It's a mission.

[ghostlighter]

So you'll do it anyway.

[fireintothesky.livejournal.com]

Is that bad?

[ghostlighter]

Not necessarily? ... Just so long as you don't let your dislike of them get in the way.

[fireintothesky.livejournal.com]

It's a mission. Unless they threaten Signore Jose, there's no reason to do anything to them.

[ghostlighter]

Good. That's... good. Keep that in mind and you should be okay.

[fireintothesky.livejournal.com]

Chris? [Looks at him a little shyly.]

[ghostlighter]

[?] What's up?

[fireintothesky.livejournal.com]

What's your family like?

[ghostlighter]

... What? What is— [Trails off. DX] They're... It's...

[Sigh.] It's really complicated.

[fireintothesky.livejournal.com]

Oh. That's okay, I've just been wondering.

[ghostlighter]

Wondering?
