"How do people thing encyclopedias happen? Medicine? Textbooks? SCIENCE! STUDY! If we do not continue the pursuit for knowledge, how will we learn!"

Guess what I’ve been playing.

"Her temperature has gone down a couple degrees but still feverish." Rio holds up a washcloth. "I was going to re-wet this for Miss Altyn."

Kaede doesn't look up at the entrance of his brother, back facing him as he runs fingers through silky hair. Motion gentle, other hand resting on the dragon's chest, keeping the time of their heartbeats.

The only other one at this particular moment pertains to the Omori household:

-Sweet Dreams’s involvement in Kaede’s life is making it worse and she hates it. Sweet Dreams doesn’t know this and is going to continue to try and help.

Aido is man of science and logic and was absolutely positive of his views on the existence of the supernatural. But after having Kaede as a business associate for the last handful of years, his resolve on that belief has been shaken a little. He can't say exactly what he thinks is different about the coroner, just that he knows something is different.

Ilya has only met him a few times and thinks Kaede is just about the weirdest person he's ever met. He definitely sees the man's brilliance in his field, but thinks Aido is thinking too seriously about it. Ilya waves it off as the man having more than a few screws loose.

Kaede doesn't look over, carefully pinning the wing of a jewel beetle to what would become its new frame. "I don't think it matters, honestly." he murmurs, focused as he sets an insect leg in place.

The younger vampire looks up from where he's lounged in Kaede's couch. "Why? Because I don't know her favorite color? Or flower for that matter...."

Kaede's breath comes out in a sign and he puts down the tweezers in his hand, leaning back in the shair and giving his brother his full attention. "No. It's because I'm pretty sure she doesn't care. This is probably just a game to her."

He doesn't have anything personal against Zhifeng's work associate, but she was the kind of person he couldn't read. Her intentions....hard for him to follow. And she treated Rio like one would a pet golden retriever. "I just don't think this is as serious to her as it is to you is all."

"Oh. Is that all?" Rio waves a hand dramatically and lays back further. "Lucky for me, I share your unwavering determination and stubbornness that we unfortunately inherited from father. I'm patient. I will do everything I can to hopefully get Miss Altyn to take me seriously."

He turns on his side as his brother goes back to his work, facing away from him. Being optimistic was what he was good at.

Sometimes it's all he can do.

Kaede has been watching this go down.

How much pocket money is this kid carrying? Also, what is she doing here? She looks too young for elementary school, let alone high school…

“Hey… Uh, are you lost…?”
