[b][h3]Gearhardt, Yggdrasil crime scene[/h3][/b]

At first he thought the large birdman that wandered up might be a beast, but that thought quickly fled Gerhardts mind. He'd never seen a blue one, nor one so sociable, and upon closer inspection he didn't appear to actually have any feathers. He had more in common with a children's doll than any animal Gerhart had ever seen. Despite the situation he felt a smile spread over his face. A place where this creature could exist was definitely a place worth protecting.

He pushed himself up using the wall, rising to his feet for the first time since the questioning had began. "That's exactly why I contacted the police. I investigated by myself before you arrived, fruitlessly. I found no written records, but just looking around it became clear that there are things in this world far beyond what I'm used to. Perhaps you would have better luck searching their machines. Perhaps it is even possible for you to find a cure where the greatest scholars of Yharnam failed. I'm not sure. What I am sure of is that here, for the first time in so long, I've felt the warmth of the sun on my face. Disarmed, bound, stranded in a place I do not know, and yet my heart beats calm. Hehehehehe."

He extended his bound hands to the two of them. "I wish to protect this peace more than anything. Please, if you don't find this old beast completely repugnant, indulge him. Allow me to hunt with you."
