( Yay! New challenge! Even though my character had little will. ^________^;; Ahahaha...Hey, I can read. T_____T I just wanted to see what the others would do)

Crystal sneezed twice into her shoulder before sniffing and taking another drink of the tea. She replied while shivering a tiny bit in the cold. It seemed to finally be affecting her. Although, her gloves weren't very thick and her nose was beginning to sting furiously. The finder blinked rapidly to clear the tears stinging her eyes and responded in a slightly shaking voice.

"I-I do not think there is any innocence here...M-More stanger things would be occuring i-if that was the case."

She sneezed once more, giving another shudder in the extreme cold.

((I'm aware that there is no Innocence. How does Takeshi know what I know? He's not the one writing these posts. Common sense dictates that Takeshi wouldn't know if there is something just plain unusual or Innocence when the players, not linked to the IC world, are the only ones who have a clue what the reality is. Also, please avoid accusing me of not being able to read, because I have been doing this sort of thing for over a year and know how to read carefully. I am a freeform role-player, so I stick with hardcore in-character facts combined with out-of-character generalizations.))

Alimah looked between Crystal and the Snow white's new owner. She studied the heated look present on his face and also, the words that were spoken. She didn't know if she should deny what Crystal had said, or ask the old man why it mattered. She settled for another route.

"Is something wrong?" She asked, worry etched in her mind.

Her voice grew slightly more high pitched, a sign that Crystal was nervous. The finder's body bent in a bow towards the strange man as a sign of forgivness.

"P-P-Please! I-I beg your forgiveness good sir! I-I-I did not mean to anger you for any reason at all."

((I'm not eating you. I'm stating my position. Regardless, I asked a question several times with everyone ignoring me despite the fact that Takeshi does NOT know which is what.))

"She means 'is the bear innocent?'" Takeshi answered, in an attempt to cover up the slip-up. Not many outside of the Earl's followers or the Black Order know about the Innocence, though the finder did use that opportunity to ask AGAIN about Snow White. If the old man says that he found nothing unusual, then this mission would be concluded: no Innocence this time.

( I feel like we should play the Zelda theme when something good is found. ^^;;; )
