I don't don't want to refuse your kindness, and if I can find a permanent solution, I'm willing to try anything. How does it work?
[ Hotaru is touched by Roderic's offer. Her impression is that he was more on the secretive side and that he was telling her something like this is a lot. It does nothing from dissuading Hotaru's belief that everyone who's been pulled to be URSULA's crew is full of goodness. ]
I need to be in range of the person to start picking up things from them. Can I meet you somewhere in a bit? Just to test the waters? [ he assumes he'll hear things from hotaru right off the bat but- he hadn't expected roxy's powers to exist and who knows?
[ Just as notified, she is waiting outside the library. She does her best to look calm, but there's no hiding the crease between her brows. Her face does lighten and light up when she sees Daisy, though. Who wouldn't? ]
Hi...
[ She couldn't keep all the nervousness out of her voice. ]
Hey there. [ he gives her a smile to show everything was going to be alright. something was going to happen but he was determined to make sure it was work out for her.
plus, daisy was doing her best to make hotaru feel welcomed with how she scampers closer. gives out a happy bark right before giving an affectionate headbutt to show daisy liked her. ]
Don't worry- This isn't gonna hurt you or make you uncomfortable. [ him, on the other hand, is... is something he's used to at this point and he's ready for it. break some eggs to make an omelette, etc. ] Promise. I'll do my best to make sure this ain't too weird.
[ Hotaru will reach over and pet Daisy, if she lets her. The dog's presence is comforting.
She smiles up at Roderic. She is nervous about this, as much as she's trying her best not to show it. Being open about her problems when she's the one sharing is hard on her enough, but it's unsettling to know that Roderic will have possible access to even things she doesn't know about. Hotaru trusts Roderic, and she trusts he wants to help, but uncertainty lends itself to fear. ]
I think my situation is weird by itself. I don't think you'll be able to make it too weird. Tell me what I should do, and I'll do it.
[ daisy is more than happy to be petted by someone roderic considers a friend. especially one friendly and nice as she seems to be!
in fact, the beagle tries to jump up on hotaru to give her an encouraging lick and a whine of encouragement. the tail wagging to show affection and support while roderic tries to gather his bearings for this. not every day he's going to willingly use his powers. ]
Um- Just focus on playing with Daisy for now, okay? I just have to… listen, for the lack of a better word. [ he takes a deep breath and lets go the last of his mental defences, trying to purposely reach out and hear anything about mistress 9.
preferably in the future, he reminds himself. he tries to ignore everything else he hears from hotaru and others who maybe passing by as his mind begins to pick up the past, the present, and the future of the subject he's focusing on. ]
[ That's as easy done as said. She kneels down so Daisy can get to her easier and vice versa, laughing when she's licked. She tells Daisy what a good and pretty dog she is in hushed whispers because she wants to disturb Roderic as little as possible. Whatever listening is or however Roderic listens, being noisy probably won't help.
Mistress 9's past will be a lot of static or absolute silence and then a broken man crying that he'll do anything to save his daughter, anything. Present will be filled with labored breathing and harsh utterances of "I need more pure hearts." There's be a lot of shrill, high pitched giggles, mocking laughter, taunting of Hotaru being discarded. Voices argue back that Hotaru is better than that, better than her. A cutting declaration full of conviction: "Master Pharaoh 90 will bring silence to this world." The future is filled with a much weaker voice, frustrated muttering, angry shrieks. "You will not get rid of me, you pests!" ]

never hurts to get a feel of things first. ]

I can meet you in an empty room, if you think more privacy is needed?
no subject
I can meet up with you at the library though. Not too far from it I think. Can't miss me when I get there since I'm walking Daisy.
