The shamus scratched at his pale cheek, seemingly pondering on what he could say. He didn't know the new kid, not when they could easily be a wrong gee, but if the bearcat thought he wasn't just some chiseler, then Yoshinori Sasori would give him a chance to take a flutter at the caper too.

It wasn't a very succinct explanation from a girl who prided herself on being a good writer, but it was quite clear that shock and fear was still definitely present in her, as was the pumping adrenaline.

"Ryo-kun healed you!" she hurriedly continued, expanding on the point. "We got attacked by this um, monster thing and he saved me from them with his powers and ... and then we tried to get away and we found you!"
