[He glances when Susato suddenly grabs hold of him. Intentionally or not, he's already putting himself between her and the remaining wobbly chocolate bits. The cloud of smoke at first seem to momentarily stop the wigging, but it just continues on like nothing had happened.]

I wouldn't suggest eating them. [He moves forward to stop a hand trying to crawl away.] Get a big pot or something. We can melt down the rest.

[judicialassistant]

[ The sudden blast of pink smoke does not help her at all with being brave. She jumps again, shielding her eyes with her arm, but then Gina apologises before Susato can even get her bearings well enough to say anything.

Sholmes... Chocolate Fondue?

......At least it will give her something to do. Susato lets out a sigh, and at the same time lets Kazuma's arm go. She makes it a point to smooth out to fabric of his sleeve in gentle pats before she walks off to start digging through cabinets in the kitchen. ]

[judicialassistant]

[ Not that it takes long, of course. The kitchen is still meticulously organized. ]

Here... This is the biggest one we have, unless we take him back to the Harvest.

[ Him... It??? ]

[lestray]

... Right then. Someone 'old onto Toby so I can 'elp fill it up.

[She feels partly responsible for this whole mess, after all. If someone does take hold of Toby, she'll tug her hat down and carefully start working on filling the pot. Somewhat morosely.]

This... This chocolate cove, 'e was like Sholmes's greatest enemy. Shomes was really on 'is trail... [So this makes his absence even starker.]

I- I can't believe 'e just... fell apart like that. [He's gone.]

[chippedsoul]

[He'll let Susato worry about Toby and help gather the remaining bits, making sure they stay in the pot.]

His greatest enemy... [Hard not to find it amusing that this great detective's enemy is just a chocolate man. For a moment, he wanted to tell Gina to take this as a sign of the detective's lack of presence, but then he ends up saying something else.]

Well, we can tell Mr. Sholmes about it once we find him. [Has he gone soft?]

[judicialassistant]

[ ...This is going to take a while. He has gone soft; but then again, Susato did go out of her way to hide something like the truth about Iris's father from her, and this doesn't feel too different. But just like with Iris, Susato can already tell they won't be able to hide it for long.

It'll be more meaningful when she finds that acceptance herself, with them both there to support her when it happens.

Leaving the pot for them, Susato grabs onto Toby, and she can feel his tail brushing against her stomach. ]

We will. [ Even if it's back in Great Britain, in the waking world. ]

[lestray]

Right.

[She smiles in appreciation of their support. And she looks thoughtful as she continues her work. Cleaning up the mess Sholmes left behind... Her mind wonders where he really is and what he could be up to. She's not about to give up her investigation yet, but the idea has been planted in her mind. No matter which world it's in, she's ready to keep moving until she catches up with that detective.]

An' we'll 'ave some great tales of our own to share wiv the ol' loon when we do.

[With that, the adventures continue.]
