[i]Location: The Café
Interacting With: Miranda Burke, Olivia Johnson[/I][/center]
[hr][hr]
Robin stirred his coffee again as he listened to Olivia and Miranda talk. A pang of guilt struck him for prying into their business now that the smiles had disappeared and the tense explanations came out. It was unkind of him to ask that. As an old 'friend' had one said, his nosiness would be the death of him some day. (Relatedly, she had also said that his [i]nose[/i] was his worst characteristic. Maybe she just had a thing against noses.) For now, his penchant for gossip didn't seem to be screwing him over; it was content to simply make him feel [i]bad[/i], and that was something to rectify immediately.

[color=f06262]"Sorry,"[/color] he said hastily, with an imperceptible shake of his head. [color=f06262]"I figured it must be hard for you. I don't know why I asked that––sorry."[/color]

Robin affixed a tentative smile on his face, about two steps away from [i]reassuring[/i] but trying its best to be. [color=f06262]"I think they'll find her though. Maybe not the cops or the feds, but, you know, everyone else looking into it. Through search parties or something like that."[/color] Robin's distrust of the legal system was well-known, but he didn't think it was unfounded. His fear over this being swept under the rug (as many crimes in the city were) had infiltrated all of his worries about Walker's disappearance and the Mayor's murder. It was one of the reasons why he returned to Red Lake this time: just in case an extra pair of hands were needed. Just in case there was any amateurs trying their hand at some real-life Scooby Doo mystery solving when the law fails. [color=f06262]"I came back to try and help out, if I even can. Let me know if you need anything."[/color]

But then Olivia looked over at someone behind him who just entered the café––someone who Robin didn't know, whose name was presumably Declan––and he turned his attention to folding and unfolding the corner of a napkin, leg bouncing up and down from inactivity.
