"I should have thought of it myself." He smiled. "I take it you have a location in mind?" Although Emanuel was willing to give Andre the benefit of the doubt, the earlier passionate defense made it likely that Andre would share his lover's Fate - whatever the outcome would be. Still, rejecting the offer would send too strong a message at this stage. He was not yet ready to distrust Andre. First, he wanted to hear what his nephew had to say.<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>Andre explained to Emanuel about the particular location, "The Luminary had an exquisite dining area where she would hold meetings."  In fact, Emanuel had been there once before, and knew the way.  "It may not provide much in the way of privacy, while the police remain here, but I doubt she would mind it being used, and the crime occurred all the way on the other side of this house.<br/><br/>"We'll be closing things off in this area while the lab runs analysis," Alana chimed in, "but you're free to use the dining room.  It also wouldn't be hard to rent motel rooms or the like if you need more privacy or don't want to drive back."<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=324905.msg15601697#msg15601697">Quote from: HairyHeretic on 22-09-2020, 00:29:19</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">She gestured at the debris in front of her. "Take this room." She stood up and gestured the detective forwards, gesturing at one of the sticky patches she'd knealt beside. "I'm fairly sure that this isn't blood. I think it's pine resin, but I don't know how it got here. There's also a lot of cloth fibres all over. I think linen. They're pretty dark. They look out of place enough that I'd guess they're significant somehow, but I don't know how yet." She wiped her hands a little on the sides of her trousers, turning to look at the others. "We stand the best chance of finding out the truth of what happened here if we pool our resources. Has anyone spotted anything else that could be a clue to just what happened here? Does anyone know if any of Luminarys band had an affinity with nature?"<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>Andre considered for a bit.  "My understanding is that they all have some affinity with the sun," he said.  "Huitzilopochtli,   Ra, Apollo, that kind of theme.  If they had one of the Aesir, they'd likely be born of Baldr."<br/><br/>"Are you sure on that one?"  Alana was far less certain.  "I thought Keiran was Lugh."<br/><br/>"He might be," Andre ceded.  "Pretty sure Lugh is a jack-of-all-trades.  No clue if he has any particular powers associated with the sun.  I don't think any of the Tuatha de Denaan favor it."<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=324905.msg15604325#msg15604325">Quote from: Dakkon on 24-09-2020, 05:07:17</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">"Well, we don't know exactly who or what did this," he says, turning back toward the band, "but there are somethings that can't be coincidence. The sun hangs over our heads as though the Gods are inspecting it like a jewel. Look at the wallpaper here, it has bleached as though it sat in the sun for years, yet the rest of the room is pristine. I am as certain as Balder is fair: the one we seek is tied to the sun or to light. It is not much of a lead, but it is better than nothing."<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>Alana spoke up, "I've had enough experience with Fate to recognize something just<em>too</em>coincidental, when a conversation just<em>happens</em>to go the right way to prove a point.  It's definitely one of the other four."<br/><br/>"Other three," Andre corrected with fading patience.  "It's not Francisco."<br/><br/>As one of the other police officers came in, she was careful not to step inside, handing off printed copies of sheets to Alana, who gave one to each of the Scions.  "Phone numbers for myself, Andre, Francisco, Hikaru, Jennifer, and Kieran."<br/><br/>A house address was listed for Hikaru as well, easily accessed for those who checked the internet as a small house in a quiet nearby district.  That Bai and Hikaru were the two who made their home addresses readily available to the police spoke well of their character.
