There was an inherent problem of having blood rush to certain parts of one’s body and it was:  if you were male, it risked to become… evident. And Drake was male… very so. And so, he redoubled his efforts to maintain his cool, appealing to all his self-control since it was always freakingly difficult to steer a human brain from a<em>certain</em>train of thought once it had grabbed hold of it.<br/><br/>Forcing himself to tear his gaze away from Madame’s inviting curves, Drake extracted again his magnifying glass and scratched his chin lightly as they ventured inside. “In fact, there is a reason for me wanting to start from here…” he said “…I do not know what we are looking for, yet but I think we should seek a… manifestation of some kind. Your device is unique and it can be put out of commission only by something that is also unique…”<br/><br/>His voice was regaining his professional tone. “Now… since I think that you and your staff keep an eye open for things amiss, my idea was to look first in the places where odd manifestations could be overlooked. Since in this place<em>everything</em>is odd… it may be that something unusual here has escaped your staff’s notice…”<br/><br/>Drake grinned “..a bit like in wedding parties. I have seen that happen. Someone sneaks in and both the groom and the bride think that he is a friend of the other one. Maybe we can have a look and see if there is something that should not be here?”<br/><br/>His sharp gaze cut through the space around him, carefully examining his surroundings. He was happy to have something to distract his mind from… her. And so he did not hear her last warning about spinning discs on the ground.<br/><br/>“Now… the place seems calm enough but I wonder…” he mumbled thoughtfully before stopping on his track and looking up “hey… what’s that up thereeeeeEEEWOAH!”<br/><br/>Drake’s quick reflexes would probably have been enough to save him from the spinning discs… unfortunately he was distracted and so when he felt the ground spin wildly under his feet, he lost his balance and staggered flailing in Madame Saru’s direction… and then fell down on top of her!<br/>
