Though his body did not move, nor give any indication that his attention was divided, he spoke clearly, for all to hear.

"Our fellow investigators head towards a lair they do not suspect. A man with the stink of trolls is reponsible for the placement of this bloody items. Not anybody here. Red is his dress, and masked was his composure. Fortunately the kami in here were too strong for his silencing spells."

Sagaki felt a chill at her description. "Can you tell me anything more about him, or what he was doing? Anything at all might be important..."

"I kept out of sight. I had met him earlier, he smelled bad then too, but he smelled... kinda like you do now. What was his name... Yogo something or other." She held her nose. "He frightens me, but if he's hurt my friend I'd like to testify."

Sagaki sniffed his sleeve, then turned to Nadare and whispered: "It could be troll blood - I was talking to Yogo Shigeru earlier while he and a fellow Kuni were experimenting on a troll..."

He turned back to Kuhime with a smile. "Thank you - what you've told us may be useful indeed - and if we need your testimony, we won't hesitate to call on you - believe me, your helpfulness is appreciated."

ooc: do you have any questions? you have till page 9 before i'm cutting off the investigation.

"Well ,do you know where he is now? I have the sneaking suspicion that it's Shigeru behind all of this, but we need to find him first."

"No I don't"

"Know anyone who might know? I;m talking to you too, Sagaki."

ooc: shiko?

OOC: *smiles* Good idea - thanks :)

IC: Sagaki looked thoughtful. "Yogo Shiko might be able to tell us something - she was involved with Yogo Shigeru when I was learning with the Yogo, so she may have some idea of where he might go..."
