[ she will settle down near him and stay quiet for a moment or two before... ]

I'm sorry we couldn't find the other culprit.

[historicals]

[ he... blinks? surprised.... ]

Miss Maomao... [ soft, gentle: ] You don't have to apologize to me... it certainly was not your fault - you did well, today.

[apoisoncary]

[ while normally she wouldn't feel as bad

she does feel like she could have done more. ] I still have a lot to learn. [ she is going to be rotating everything for a couple of days to see what she missed ]

What were you thinking towards the end of the trial?

[historicals]

[ head tilt ]

What do you mean...? Oh - forgive my manners... here, come. Sit for a spell.

[ he'll nudge out a chair at the lil garden table for maomao. ]

[apoisoncary]

[ She'll come over and then take a seat ]

I'm curious where your thoughts were taking you. I understand looking for sand, but was there something else that struck you?

[ Her tone of voice is a bit tired, but still detached ]

[historicals]

Oh. About Claude...?

[ quiet, for a moment. ]

Truthfully, I was between Jacopo and Claude, but... I was thinking of the bruises, and who they ended up on. More specifically... why did those of us in the flower garden end up with them, when there wasn't any evidence from the flower garden in our case?

The funhouse was at least in the proximity of the other parts of the case - it was on the same island. But we were very, very far away. So... I knew logically, if the bruise was faked... why would that person know to come all the way to the garden?

It had to be someone in our location that night.

[apoisoncary]

That is a logical conclusion. Maybe I should sniff him for syrup...

[ she has no issues invading claude's personal space. however... she also knows she will keep spiraling over this because curiosity and her own connection to it. ]

We don't have to talk about it if you would rather we discuss something else.

[historicals]

...I think if it was him, he is far, far too smart for that.

[ claude is one of his closest friends here, so - even in the circumstances, he smiles a little ruefully. ]

That is the other reason, truthfully... because I think he is clever enough to come up with all of the different plans we saw, today.

It's alright. I don't really mind... it is weighing quite heavy on my mind, too.

[apoisoncary]

[ big ass crimes does sound like spoon ]

I don't know if he would be able to throw Zhongli like that. [ Claude is strong but... he is down an arm with the cast ]

He is clever enough and he likes spending time in the spa.

[historicals]

[ spoon or hei im telling you!!!! ONE OF THOSE TWO FUCKS ]

No, but... we did receive gifts when we were off in another place. I don't know exactly what his did, but... it could have easily been something like that, too.

...Either way, the evidence wasn't there, by the end. If we had just a bit more time, maybe...

[apoisoncary]

Wait. There were bites missing from that cookie, right? Would someone's arm get stronger if it was larger?

Did we actually compare Jacopo's wounds to what splintering could look like? Or check them against Marcoh's hands for the glass cuts?

[historicals]

It was not Marcoh.

[ that first... he was far too injured, thursday. ] And, I'm not sure. Did we not come to the conclusion that the cookie was used on Zhongli...?

[apoisoncary]

I'm not saying Marcoh because of suspecting him. Marcoh had glass in his hands, which I helped pull out. We could have compared Jacopo's wounds to Marcoh's to see if they looked the same.

[ As for the cookie... ]

I heard someone say there were two bites taken from it. Was that right? So did Zhongli and their killer both take a bite?

[historicals]

It's possible...?

[ i dont know my brain hurts ]

[apoisoncary]

[ rubs brains it's okay ]

Maybe we should try the cookie to see if it'll give us strength?

[ or they will just have a big ear or giant lips ]

[historicals]

...no, I don't think so.... I will have to pass.

[apoisoncary]

Have you had bad experiences?

[historicals]

No, I just think I've had a bit enough of people eating things for experimental reasons today.

[apoisoncary]

[ ah ]

That's true...

[historicals]

Perhaps another time.

[ or probably not he's pretty responsible about eating things after a single chocolate mistake ]

[apoisoncary]

[ She will eat the things then ]

I suppose we'll learn more after talking to people. [ Or they will have a repeat killer... ]
