[He raises a hand, but it's mostly for Hansa, not Chiron.]
No, I'm fine. We ran into a few small traps. [He's just... tired. The twins are so fucking much.] The body is a girl's... young, one of the teenagers. [He frowns heavily.] The ruins had marks on the walls. I didn't look at them closely enough, but I was wondering if they had been made by a heavy weapon if it hadn't been any of the traps, one that could take off a head.
I... didn't find much last night unfortunately. Yona, Zuko, Hansa, Soo-won, Hilda and I stayed in the village. They were all present when I left after a figure that had come through.
Sora, Lup, Taako, and Clementine were in the clothing store there. One of those animal outfits was hanging in the back, and it was burnt. I think it was... a chameleon? When I examined it, I... got the impression whoever had it was talking to someone else.
I'm not sure if that means someone else will remember someone having worn it.
If a heavy weapon had been mechanized to be used at a specific time, then we might not be able to assume the killer had above average strength... though that certainly entails an advanced level of planning.
[A hum]
But from what you're saying, Yona, Zuko, Hansa, Soo-won, Hilda, Sora, Lup, Taako, and Clementine are not likely our killers -- we can at least rule them out.
[He offers Hansa--it's not a smile, it's tight, but it is like the wisps of one. Of reassurance.]
I couldn't tell who it was, only that I saw someone moving. They left from the village and went on the path back to the town. I'm wondering if they had spent the night there somewhere. It might help narrow our pool of suspects down a little more.
[He nods at Chiron--forgetting the guy can't fucking see.]
This actually manages to get him not to look so grim? He isn't laughing or smiling completely, but he... is amused by the tease. He holds up both hands some.]
None this time. I also checked the waterfall, and the savanna, but nothing seemed out of place to me. Ange, Homura, and Alex were in the first aid station, but nothing seemed out of place there either.
He reaches up to rub the sockets of his eyes and the bridge of his nose with his fingers.]
I only have a few scratches. I'm just--tired. [Quietly:] Her head was gone. We couldn't find it. I don't know if anyone found it. Which means not only did they cut it off, but they moved it on purpose.
Yoshizawa is missing.
[He doesn't sound disgusted; he's too use to even beheadings. But he does sound disgruntled by it. He lowers his hand.]
I'm not sure, and I would rather it not be, but it's likely.
[He glances between them, and nods.]
I thinking finding the head should be first, to get it out of the way. The temple in the ruins had a maze, but we weren't able to find our way through it. We should try again. But it's dangerous inside.

Missing a head? Jesus. [guess who can use the Lord's name in vain now since he totally ain't a priest!! this guy!!] Blanca, are you okay?
no subject
[... Closing his eyes, not that it matters since he's STILL BLIND but he's also so exhausted he's leaning up against whatever surface is available]
I was the one who... tripped over Shiro's body. An arrow might have been what killed him.
[Says the archer with the incredible aim even while blind.]
Also, Blanca, if you are in indeed of medical assistance -- [His voice is a little strained but also don't test his patience, he better not be hurt!]

[Excuse me?]
And a figure? What figure? [SO MANY QUESTIONS] And...huh. I guess we need to ask around who the chameleon is, here.

[Chiron knows all about those traps]

No murder weapons that you saw? [A beat.] Or took?

[That's REALLY not good.]
So you're thinking the body is...hers.

We must find the head, even if its removal was potentially to distract us. There is too much information that might be gained.
[But that sounds... rather cold of him, he recognizes, and his voice settles a bit]
To think someone would go so far...
