Summertime [Open]

Zouichi sat by a the mirrored black water of a small pond. Nearby, a wisteria plant was coming into bloom, dangling its delicate, curved violet flowers toward the earth.

As promised, a tray of chilled watermelon slices was set to the side, near the wooden steps leading down to the garden and free for any passersby to take. For his part, however, Zouichi occupied himself with feeding a small group of googly-eyed baby goldfish, who darted back and forth through the water to gobble up stray flakes of fish food.

It was nice to take a break from exploding ghost wolves lions once in a while.

"You were caught on camera? Unfortunate, though I'm surprised you went along as long as you did without someone aiming a mobile recording device at you." Cities, especially, tended to be rife with surveillance devices. Hence the advantage of having Fuyu around.

"Scrambled feeds," Tim commented. "And what did leak out was usually accused of fraud." So they had their ways of keeping a general lid on it. "This was just a bit bigger than that." News crews and all.

But Tim stretched out, and quickly said, "I should probably get back to work."

Oh? Was this a sensitive topic? Tim seemed to have an awful lot of them... but poking some more at this particular one could wait.

Zouichi nodded, but with the full intention of asking about the leak again later. You can't escape Tim

For his own part, Tim was well aware that he'd messed that one up. There was no way Zouichi wouldn't be suspicious.

He half-waved, then turned and left without another word.
