[center][h1] James Moriarity [/h1][/center] The suggestion of Rider was too tempting to pass up, and so, grabbing his own cup, Moriarty joined the quartet, now making them a quintet. [i]"Fair enough, with how quiet it is, I'm sure the regulars won't mind if they catch me drinking."[/i] Faint mirth graced his face, even as the words of the King of Heroes made the King of Crime glance over, shifting ever so slightly at the mention of his rival. Had Holmes manifested finally? The thought of playing games with his old time nemesis did fill him with a thrill, even if he didn't want to get decimated by any servants were he to cause actual issues. But messing around just to make his nemesis jump through hoops like old times sake? Well, he couldn't pass up the opportunity. [i]"If he's indeed here, I wouldn't be opposed to such an idea. After all, I do indeed have free time, and I'm sure if he's here, Holmes will likely be needing something refreshing. After all, I've heard no mention of other famous criminals who could give him a run for his money."[/i] Perhaps that was a jab at the time a woman had bested Sherlock, a nod to other famous crooks of literature. Without knowing for sure, however, it was merely a guess after all.

The cornerstore trip had gone faster than expected, plus with Da Vinci's pair of arms, it made carrying food back easy. Plenty of junkfood. Followed by the conversion of a room in the home to her workshop(which will remain unclear for now, I'll leave it up to Vinci), they had decided to go properly exploring. And while most would have gone for say, the famous arena, Serene's love of something else had overcome any innate human desire to see blood shed. So the duo had ended up at the Fusang City Zoo, Serene having gotten them in rather fast. While she hadn't told Da Vinci what she was after, it would become soon apparent as she headed for whatever part of the place housed...the Red Pandas. As soon as she saw the area, Serene rushed to the glass between her and the animals, staring with excited, decidedly...not iron willed, eyes. [color=lightcoral] "Oh my god, they really have them! They're so cute!" [/color] Undignified maybe, but could one be blamed for loving Red Pandas? [@1Charak2]
