[ It is difficult for her to comprehend just how much Lord van Zieks had closed himself off over the past decade-plus. She did hope that clearing things up about his brother... not to mention, being in Reverein (Verens?) and not Great Britain, would help. He formed enough of a bond with Diluc to form this partnership though, so perhaps he has opened up some.
Idly, Susato places the other remaining gift bag she's been carrying onto the bar next to her. The bag is made of cloth colored a royal purple, tied off with pink ribbon. Before she can offer it to Diluc, however, she is surprised by the question so casually posed. Maybe Barok isn't the only one who's opened up a little more than she thought. More than she was led to believe. But she still doesn't know just how much Diluc's been told. ]
That's correct... His father and mine were very close, so I suppose it was only natural. I was to be his judicial assistant, before circumstances got in the way.
[ Circumstances named Herlock Sholmes.
Kazuma has become quite the young man despite all this, she thinks, but she trails off there, even as she glances his way. ]
