[b]2:01, the Tower[/b]

As Louise opened her mouth to respond, Eliza spoke first. She didn't want to given the green-haired girl the chance to give out more casual insults. She knew why their handler did it, it was specifically to get a reaction. She would not allow any more if she could help it, and so cutting her off was the logical action. And besides, there were some points she wanted to make here. As she spoke, her tone was rather short and direct.

"Don't be ridiculous. There's hardly any necessity for the killer to possess an affinity for flesh or blood," she began, arms folded tightly across her chest. She didn't even spare a glance at their Number Five as she made her rebuttal. He was a weak mage who relied on tricks to circumvent his own lack of magical quality. This wasn't exactly what she saw as improper, but at the same time it wasn't something to be celebrated in her opinion. "They could have learned outside of their affinity. Besides, if that were the case, they would have had to perfectly repair the victim's clothing and bodies, as well as removing any blood."

Louise paused for a moment, eyebrow raised. Then she smiled, and let out a small giggle. "My my my, Number One [i]is[/i] feeling pretty aggressive right now. It's making me excited! Ah, if only we weren't all in this dreadful room..."

Eliza cast a glare at the older woman. What was she even saying?

"In any case, she's right," Louise continued, "On top of that, Lucas, you could have the right idea, it seems unlikely that they were already dead when their bodies aren't displaying any signs of injury."

The green-haired mage stretched again, the gave Lucille a sideways look. "At least you're cute, with your bunny... I don't know if you'd want to act as bait when we don't know his capabilities yet. I'm sure even someone like you would perish if your organs were all removed."
