Investigating a Missing Fae in Two Parts

[constantprisoner]

[Part 1 - Sirius and Evie]

He'd started at the shop. Seemed like the most obvious place. Trying to see if he could smell anything or find any leads as to why this Fae was gone. Not left, just gone. It definitely seemed odd, and weird things with Fae seemed to be happening all over, or at least, more than usual. 

To continue with unusual things, Sirius was keeping to human form. Typically, he kept to his dog form for stuff like this. It was normal for a dog to go around sniffing things, not so much for a human. But he figured this was safer in case he needed to talk his way out of a situation, or needed to dig for more information. 

Finding a promising smell, he followed it, making his way down the street until he found a park. He paused on the edge of it, seemingly appraising the dinosaur structures and glad that no one was using the park. Though he got the feeling he wasn't entirely alone.

[Part 2 - Reporting back to Eames.]

After the successful interrogation of the imp, it was time to report back to Eames.

"So, uh, do you want to take the lead on this or shall I?" Sirius asks.

Comments

Evie nods. "I've been in this business a long time, long enough to know that there's no such thing as a coincidence." She leans forward.

"Especially in this climate."

"I'm thinking not too, but I'll keep feelers out elsewhere too, just in case." Honestly though, if Nemed's got himself summoned by an unrelated witch, it's pretty low on Eames' list of concerns. He was only interested because of it being so soon after Bromley anyway.

But there's no reason to get into all that, and he takes an envelope out of his inside pocket an slides it across the table to Sirius; the agreed fee. Plus a tiny bag of gourmet dog treats because Eames is hilarious.

"Thank you for your effort."

Sirius gives Eames a look that clearly says "really?", before taking the envelope and the dog food. He shouldn't let something like that go to waste, even if he won't eat it himself. The line has to be drawn somewhere after all.

"Of course. I suppose if I hear anything else, I'll pass it along. And you know where to find me, should you need me again."

He gets up, tucking the envelope away and looks at Evie.

"Thanks again for the help. I guess I'll be going now."

He pauses briefly, just in case there was anything else.

It's funny, honestly, Evie has to laugh even though she shouldn't. She'd been filled in later, about the exact nature of Sirius' shifting abilities, so the joke was not lost on her.

Gosh, no wonder everyone hated vampires. She was the worst.

"No, thank you, Sirius," she says, moving to stand to wish him farewell. She glances back at Eames, in case he wants her to leave, too, or if he was apt to call an end to their meeting right then and there.

[falsify]

Eames smiles, ostensibly totally serious about the treats and not at all slipping in a dumb joke. He contemplates some additional parting comment, but the business is concluded, and even if it's not their fault he is a little disappointed.

But there's no reason to give Sirius shit for that, so he just offers a parting wave as he stands to leave instead.
