Mmm, that will at least be an easy effect to verify then.

[Chiron is assuming no one's gonna have time to dunk themselves in a barrel of fish to pull off that effect, so.]

And who was with you?

I was with Claude and Hikaru. They may have spent some time with Reeces, but it wouldn't have been enough to make us smell this strongly.

[ She know showering probably won't make it go away, but she wishes it would. ]

But we should head towards your room. Even you can catch a cold, Archer.

... A cold.

[He was born a deity and then became a Heroic Spirit. Does Chiron even know what catching a cold feels like?

Anyway he follows after her, bemused by that novelty before he will speak up again]

Ah, yes. I have a question in that regard. Did Hikaru fall into the water at any point?

[ He's nerfed into the throes of illness. Would he be a whiny sick centaur? That's so funny to imagine. ]

She did. Both she and Claude were careless. They touched each other without thinking, and she fell straight into the water from the shock.

[He'd be the type of patient you'd have to chain to the bed in order to make him rest lbr. Sensei orders people to rest, he doesn't rest himself!!]

-- Well then. That verifies her claims.

[Though he sounds somewhat exasperated]

I do wish they'd both be a bit more careful, but I am glad you were present.

... I offered them my flag after he tried to help her out of the water without a tool.

[ She didn't trust they wouldn't forget again. ]

I couldn't stop them the first time as I was too faraway.

Yes, she told me that at least by accident, Claude had caused many of the burns on her skin.

[Water + electric shock + two kids trying to get back to land is a terrible combo]

I helped guide her through redressing the wounds... and if both you and Claude will be around to grant her an alibi, then hopefully tomorrow there will be no cause for suspicion.

[Because he knows it's going to be rough day for all of them]

I... didn't think it'd be that severe.

[ She's thoughtful about that. ]

But yes, I will be there to tell what happened. I don't want a repeat of last week.

[ ... ]

Has Izumo approached you tonight?

Supposedly, the initial wounds were a result of what happened on Wednesday.

[Which they do not need to talk about, god spare them.

-- But his eyes immediately narrow into assessment when Izumo's name is brought up]

No, she has not.

[The "why" is unspoken, but present in the lingering silence]

.... Oh, Wednesday will make tomorrow interesting.

[ She sounds so tired suddenly. ]

I'm not sure what it means in the context of everything, but she told me she dreamed that Laine tried to kill her.

... If she freely shares that information, it might cast some level of suspicion on her.

[And frankly, until they know the details of what happened, that suspicion could be well-deserved. Chiron cannot say either way]

But it could also be an item in play... Did she say where she had fallen asleep?

... I know. She told me she's trying to spread the information.

[ So whether that will be for her benefit or detriment remains to be seen. ]

She was at the railway station, and Clementine was with her. Clementine apparently had no effect, but I haven't seen her to confirm.
