"Jun!" cried Toshiko, reaching out in an attempt to grab the child before he got too far. However, she was only a second too late. The maid leading them, when she felt her skirt flip, immediately went bright red and yelped, pushing her skirt down and trembling even more then she was already. Toshiko sighed, and immediately took a step forward. What was Jun doing? Just running off and flipping the maid's skirts? Well, Toshiko couldn't argue that he was doing it very well with a good application of his onmyodo, but now wasn't really the time for such things. Toshiko would never consider preforming such actions on the job.

Starting into her pursuit, Toshiko stopped when an arm suddenly sprang out of a doorway in the hall ahead and grabbed Jun... and lifted him clear off the ground. Toshiko took another step forward... and then the figure that appeared from behind the door was a maid. She was fairly tall, though not unusually so, and had short, dark hair. She had an air of elegance, or would have if she hadn't had an expression of mild annoyance more fitting on a street thug then on an elegant maid. In a similar manner to Toshiko's cigarettes, she had a stick of pocky in her mouth.

"Ahh... what do we have here? Harassing the other maids?" the maid inclined her head to the side. "That's not good... I don't like it when people cause trouble for them, do you understand?"

Toshiko stepped forward. "He's with us. We're the detectives investigating the case."

The maid turned. "Eh? Oh... Well, I guess you're lucky, kid. Don't go bothering my fellow maids again, alright?"

She placed Jun back down. Toshiko's eyes narrowed. Not because of her treatment of Jun, he'd been behaving pretty badly and had gone unharmed... but the skill to grab someone moving that fast, and pick them up one-handed(even if they were a child)... Toshiko was beginning to think these maids weren't just maids.

The maid who had led them had recovered by now. "I-I... I... um... I... T-T-Tomoko-sama i-is th-this way."

She beckoned down another hallway.

Eika had indeed found something. Though it was difficult to tell if it was a clue.

For a moment, she seemed distracted and rather bored, before realizing that someone was actually here. She turned, inclining her head to the side of the sight of this new person. Her boredom seemed to give way to curiosity.

"... You're not one of our maids..." she said, leaning forward inquisitively, "At least, you're not dressed yet if you are... the white hair is appealing, though."

She gave a small smile for a moment. "I certainly wouldn't mind you as a new maid."

Then it faded. "Really, though... why are you here?"
