[He arrives a little before ten, standing just at the bottom of the walkway leading up to the restaurant proper. He looks up towards it a couple of times, out of curiosity- but there'll be time enough through the rest of the day, and he can't tell whether anything's off yet. Best to wait for what Fuu can tell him.]

[She laughs at that - then has to abruptly stop when the smell is too much.]

I'll remember that!

[She works her way around the other side of the round room, still keeping an eye out, but mostly just wanting to get the windows open for now.]

[For Fuu, the next several hours passed quickly as they finished opening everything that could be opened, and throwing away all the rotten food. Not that there was someone to take out the garbage, but at least it was outside in a dumpster rather than in the restaurant smelling things up! Then, she set dishes to soak in bleach.]

[After a while things cleared out enough so that she could breathe easier, and concentrate on searching more. But no matter how she crawled or climbed about, she could find nothing else. With a sigh she looked over at Hawk.]

It would be a shame if the vial is all we have to show for today, but at least it's something. Other than a cleaner restaurant!

[It's disappointing not to have found anything, but there's still some accomplishment in having cleaned the place up. Easier to see everything, at least.

Hawk nods, letting the table behind him take most of his weight.] At least it's something. I don't think I'd do this for a living, but I think I have a greater appreciation for people who do!

Shall we be off to take the vial to Braxiatel, then?

[She nodded agreement to both points.]

Yes! I look forward to anything that might give us any more hint than-ahh--

[Sharply inhaling in a gasp, Fuu suddenly staggers backwards. Eyes wide in shock, she stares disbelievingly at the shaft of the arrow protruding from her chest, right through her heart.]

How-

[How could it be the same arrow that she had used in Cephiro? She wants to look for her other self, look for who had shot at her so suddenly, but her vision is so blurry - no, dark; she cannot not feel her body...]

[Fuu collapses to the ground, weakly reaching for the shaft of the arrow. Her expression is shocked and fearful. In a handful of long-seeming seconds, she is gone.]

[desertdaggers]

Fuu! [He reaches out for her, but he's not close enough to catch her.] Who-?

[He looks in the direction the arrow came from, and rushes over that way, looking for signs of anyone. But there's nothing- no signs of anyone making a quick retreat, no flashes of someone's hair, no footsteps, nothing moving back from where someone's pushed it aside. And when he looks back, there's no sign of Fuu's body, either.] What…? [He takes a few long steps back towards where she was, slowly.] Fuu? No…

[How could they do this? How had they, even?

…Her things. She'll need them back, he tells himself, going to pick them up. Braxiatel should get the vial. And he… Hawk needs to deal with today.]
