๑ Marie: (Well… of course you’d think that. You two have been at this for a while, huh?)
Dumbbell just nods and nods like a rapper- then Marie grabs the jacket that she had tossed on the couch.
๑ Marie: (I'm going to try to track down Dolores' house. But not for the reasons you think, Ciel-san.)
The nodding stops.
Dumbbell: (Oh- are you going to look for her anyway?)
๑ Marie: (That’s right. I'm going to be hunting down Magical entities in dark places soon anyway, I might as well get a bit of practice in.)
The dark-skinned girl puts the jacket on in a single, elegant flourish.
๑ Marie: (Yeah, think of this as practice. Besides…)
The pout; it takes both Miharu and Dumbbell off-guard. So far, Marie had been the fair, yet strict older sister, enforcing the laws of the house.
๑ Marie: (I haven't broken into a single place today! I swear, the moment I break open a lock, this day will get much, much better…!)
Ӝ Miharu: (Um, Coordinator-chan, are Marie-san’s thoughts leaking?)
Dumbbell: (I don’t think so. If anything, that sounds like an invitation. Am I right, Marie?)
By then, Dumbbell was already collecting the teacups (not without effort because the bar is as tall as her) and leaving them in the sink.
๑ Marie: (Let’s go, Miharu-chan.)
Ӝ Miharu: (W-what? Are we going after Dolores? But, um, isn’t Ciel-san going to stop us?)
Dumbbell: (I believe in Dolores, but I don’t think that the two of you are wrong either. I’ve decided to take responsibility for whatever happens.)
Once done, the smallest adult picks up her small shoulder bag and walks across the living room. Miharu remembers to follow. Once outside, they stop at the porch.
Dumbbell: (I won’t go with you, but, I will always be nearby. If you call me, I’ll be there in less than five minutes.)
๑ Marie: (Less than five minutes, girl?)
Ӝ Miharu: (What? Can you travel through dreams or something?)
Dumbbell: (Not exactly. But I’m sorry: I think it’s kinda funny to leave you racking your brains.)
She turns around, flinging that goliathic, pink ponytail around. Without even saying goodbye, the Coordinator walks away.
Dumbbell: (Miharu, Marie: I’ll always be close.)
>This could be a long night. So… what now?
