Riku takes note of the gathered assortment before her, eyes mostly settling on Victorie. She had walked down from the roof into this lounge. For a supposed thief, she was not very subtle or stealthy in the slightest. The classy pale lady carried the most authority around here to Riku's perception. And her well groomed and presented attire matches the gloomy sophistication of the building around them.

She leads into a respectful bow of the regal lady, and her furred companion as well. She returns to standing upright with her special scythe drawn and ready.

[color=ec008c]"Sorry about the damage done to the mansion. The gargoyles pursuing me didn't seem to mind smearing my blood over your walls so I figured it was mutual." [/color]

[color=ec008c]"But that's in the past now. I'm offering to help find your thief and exorcising any unwanted spirits that might be residing. I am a professional exorcist, and I can detect things not of this world very close by." [/color]

Riku risks coming up to Victoire, sheathing her scythe into it's compact mode behind her back. 

[color=ec008c]"Did you ever consider this thief was not exactly human or beast, but rather a ghost? I'm sure you've got some long dead old enemies. Think they might be coming back to haunt you? I doubt I would be detecting all this massive spiritual energy if that were not the case."[/color]

She talks smooth and has a nice smile, and seems eager to dissolve any associations of herself with the thief. She has been put in the spotlight by circumstance, and wants to transform that attention into something more fruitful for herself.
