[Luckily? Hisoka doesn’t seem too ready to tipsy up close.]
How do I know one of them wasn’t you? [He smiles.] You have a long list. Oh... And that memory. You wouldn’t have rid us of someone you needed out of the way, would you?
We weren't looking for anyone fire-related, remember?
[ he knows there's no point in telling hisoka he's not that guy anymore, though he still looks annoyed at the reminder that the clown saw his memories. wow i wonder if it's because of the creepy sora doll. ]
[Come on. Didn't Lea and Namine and Xion appreciate his Sora doll? Lea is to thank for that, of course. Something Hisoka desires a lot, after having seen such a delicious looking boy with a strong fighting spirit.]
I wouldn't rule you out yet. [Again, he smiles.] I came to tell you a very important secret. Do you want to know?
[ please do not describe the boy as delicious thank you
Lea hesitates. He's not sure he wants to know-- or that Hisoka won't want a trade-off for any secret he may have. But... He said he'd do the legwork, didn't he? If he just considers working with Hisoka another icky job, it makes it slightly more palatable. ]
[Oh, for sure. It's bad feelings, and Lea should have bad feelings about all of this. He brandishes a hand out and then folds it back over his own chest.]
I had to make sure you were a faithful wife first. You knew my element was water at the trial, but even when they were looking for those with an affinity for it, you never said anything about me.
[ not sure he wants to be called a faithful wife. in fact, he hates it. ]
Don't call me that. [ but he's quiet for a second. he decides not to address the rest of it, because it's probably for the best if hisoka thinks he said nothing out of loyalty, rather than not to waste time. ] So why did you send that to Shess?
[ and why even tell him about it in the first place? it's not like he ever would have known. ]
[It's fine. Hisoka is aware plenty of people would sell him for less than half a corn chip.]
Well... It's my job. To send notes. It's also my job [His gold eyes flick up.] to check someone. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to check anyone when we arrived. I could only send a note.
[ @ god who gave this information to Hisoka and why. Lea's gonna fucking beat up the universe. ]
... Might help if you told me who you checked this week. You only covered that you couldn't the week we arrived. Not much of a point in asking you to check someone if you've already done it.
[ there's not much lea does know, and he burns with annoyance at the knowledge hisoka has more information than him right now ]
So needy. Getting information out of me before you give yours. [But he smiles about it? Awful.] You can tell me, and if it's someone I checked already, I'll let you know.
[ the player forgot they were partners is why, but now I live with my choices ]
I'm curious because she's one of the people I know the least about, that's it. [ he waves hisoka off ] You don't have to do it. Like I said, I'm clueless in this place right now.
[ hisoka riding a segway is the real most cursed part of this thread ]
Just because I talk to people doesn't mean they spill their guts to me. [ he shrugs, seemingly easy-going ] All I've got is that your special bonus power isn't the only one around this place. Don't know how many or what they are, since that's all I managed to get out of Lune before the universe got annoying.

Yeah, I figured.
[ the implication being that if he had any doubt otherwise, he'd have been the first to say it in trial. ]
So did you want something, or is this one of those "spending quality time with your partner" moments?
[ he's real enthused those exist. ]

... What is it?
no subject
[His gold eyes look terribly amused, but they don't leave Lea, not once.]
no subject
Yeah? Who?
no subject
Why, it was me, of course.
no subject
Why? And why tell me now? I asked you last week.

I was just having some fun.
no subject
What are you checking them for? The corruption?
[ it's the most obvious answer, after all. ]
no subject
[why would the clown be given control of this information bad]
Who should I check next? [Not that he'll absolutely take Lea's advice, but this is fun. To hear.] You can play inconspicuous, but I know you aren't.
So you can be helpful and tell me what you know. It'll make this easier.

no subject
How about that?
no subject
[ why would he play along with that. he's gonna regret that immediately, isn't he. Whatever. ]
Have you checked Shess, then?
[ he doesn't have suspicions for shess so much as he's trying to figure out who Hisoka might've checked last time, but, y'know. ]
no subject
Surely, you've had people confide in you. Mary sure did like you. So does Namine. Hm. Perhaps I should check her instead.
Did you like my little gift?
no subject
Aren't you a little old to play with dolls? [ it's a no from him dawg ]
no subject
It was in my box, the one with the puzzle. Interesting, right?
no subject
[ his jaw clenches a bit. why would it be in that box? it's driving him nuts. ]
If you're asking my opinion on who to check, why not Fujino?
[ did he pick someone at random to change subjects? yes ]

That's surprising. You're quite talkative. Are you sure you're not keeping secrets from me?
