A gentlemen never removes his hat

{🍀} Clover was doing her best to get by on her own, but she still wasn’t doing that great. Being here, on this stupid mountain of all places, was really getting to her- she just couldn’t get comfortable. Not in the slightest.

She’d been taken aback when she came across someone, ready for him to get up and attack- but no, he seemed peaceful. A voice whispered that it could easily be a trap, but he did have that fire… and man did it look nice right about now. “I, um, yeah. I got stuck out here…again…”

“I see...” They were both in the predicament. Why were the scientists testing them like this? Layton had no clue. He was hoping there’d be some motive for this test. Either way...

The professor had been in the middle of making a campfire using some of the wood of the already low amount of trees in the area. He had already made a makeshift tent and is beginning to prepare for tonight’s sleep. Professor Layton hoped that the campfire would deter the cold away. It was quite a mess. Hershal had just been brought back to the city, yet he was technically kicked out to the outer districts.

✯ Maya undid the embrace and looked at the man before her. Yup, still as gentlemanly as ever. That aesthetic of his will still last for a long time!

✯ “Um, actually it’s more complicated than that, but we can leave that technical chit chat for later. You’ve just arrived at the city, no?” It was easy figuring it out, thanks to the bags the man was carrying on his arms. “I can help you get into your designed place! Where’s it, by the way?”

“More complicated than that?” He questioned a bit before interrupting his own thoughts.  Had something happened while he was gone? This city was mysterious as always.

✯ I’m sorry to say, Hershel, but that has been a long time ago. Right, there’s nobody else from your universe in the area, just you and your fancy hat. Although, I guess that you can expand the definition of what your ‘universe’ is…

✯ “…Professor Layton? Is that you?” Upon spotting the familiar figure, Maya proceeds to tackle him with a heartfelt hug. “Oh my gosh, it’s been so long! You look just the same, how incredible!” Incredible indeed, for he didn’t seem to have aged like Maya did. Could he be from the past…?

(The professor will be staying in Sia during the event. While he does not have any powers, he has a quick wit and can adapt quickly to situations.

“Well.. This place is quite a familiar sight.” He’s been here before. Yes, he was dragged to this city once before. Surely he would prefer to be in London but that wasn’t in his schedule.

“Big bro? He just left a couple of weeks ago... But I know he’s going to come back! I know it!”

“Hm.. This case seems very interesting and fun! Very well, I’ll be your attorney. I just hope you are innocent since I don’t really want to lose.”

“I’m sorry. I couldn’t hear over me looking at my beautiful self in the mirror. You were saying?”
