"Oh woah! It's red!" Ray stated bluntly. "I like it - it matches your personality more!"
He followed everyone inside and helped himself to some tea and pancakes, and thanked Micheal for preparing them.
Ray listened intently as Azumi recounted what'd happened that morning and everyone discussed what to do about it. He was slightly perturbed, however, when Lucian was mentioned as a suspect... Lucian had become a very important mentor-figure to him over the past few months, and Ray didn't want to think that he might've played a role in the attack.
"I could see Byron being a suspect - but Lucian?" he looked down at the floor. "Actually, now might be a good time to bring this up... Lucian's actually asked me to do a bit of sleuthing with him, later tonight - and he told me I can bring anyone I trust..." Ray looked a little disgusted with himself for what he was about to say:
"I trust Lucian, and I'm going with him in earnest - but if you really think that he's a suspect, then this might be a good opportunity to investigate him... you could come with us under the pretence of joining our investigation, in order to keep your motives a secret." In proposing this, he felt like he was betraying Lucian's confidence; but he trusted Azumi's judgement, and he didn't want to let his emotions cloud his own judgment...
"Anyway!" Ray abruptly changed the topic, "I'd love to get started with the rehabilitation now!" he said to Alex. "Where should we go?"
