─「银月」─  " you're not telling the truth, so why would i trust you ? " the STRANGER had not uttered anything other than lies from the very beginning, that was why the rover backed away. her gloved digits hovered at the hilt of her blade. while she was more than experienced in combat, she didn't want to draw her weapon when she found herself in an unfamiliar world. golden gaze narrowed at the assailant. " please leave. "

​─「银月」─  " oh. " the ROVER paused for a moment, apparently she was so sure that he was upset because she had told a lie. so that wasn't it ? amber hues blinked at his reassurance. " so ... you're not upset because i lied ? " that's a relief, but now she wondered why he felt bad. " you're too kind, really. and you're already helping plenty, dai-kun. if you take everyone's burden onto yourself, you're going to break. "

                she carefully placed a hand on his shoulder. " just because you have a secret to keep doesn't mean it's a bad thing. " a smile curved her lips. " it's hard enough to track lost things, and when those lost things are intangible like memory, that makes it even harder. i'm not in a hurry. "

' wh --- ah , no ! no ! it wasn't anything like that ! ' it wasn't anything like that at all ! he didn't feel bad just because she had told a lie ! he felt bad because she was so honest , otherwise ! ' i-it was a good lie ! a really good one ! i understand the reasons for it , so don't worry ... ! i just , um ... ' ah , ' i ... i just wish i could have helped a little bit more somehow ... '

─「银月」─  as the gentleman stepped forward, his back facing her, the ROVER couldn't help a small shudder that ran down her spine at the TONE of his voice ringing in the air. while she couldn't see what sort of expression he was wearing, the frequency of his voice wavered just slightly unlike how pitch-perfect his lie was. as a RESONATOR, she could tell when someone was lying, yet this one did it with such ease that it was ... both impressive and quite worrying all at the same time.

                and what ever the EXPRESSION he had, the stranger's face immediately went pale as he stumbled backwards. with a curse under his breath, he finally turned around and left. yinyue waited until the man's back disappeared before letting out a sigh of relief, her eyes turning to the blond once more, offering a polite bow.

                " i apologize for the trouble, but thank you kindly for helping me. i really didn't want to fight him. " not that she couldn't, but she preferred not to.

At her confirmation of his suspicions, he took a step forward, hands folded behind his back and eyes closed as he smiled. There was no room for this kind of behavior on his streets, no matter how this strange woman looked or acted. Besides, perhaps the interaction could go in his favor.

" If it is alright with you, sir. I'll be taking this young lady with me. " He took another step forward, until he was sure his face was out of view of the lady - before tilting his head and opening his eyes just the slightest. The look on his face is dangerous. " She is a guest of the Moriarty Estate. Though, I do appreciate you keeping her company. "

─「银月」─  her gloved digits twitched as she almost drew her blade upon the stranger if it weren't for ANOTHER PERSON making himself known. his voice was steady, the tone he whispered underneath his breath was almost calming. what a soothing presence, this person was. a complete opposite to the male threatening her earlier.

                though, she couldn't helping noting a certain aura about him that made her stiffen slightly. just a split second sensation that flickered into her mind.

                yínyuè nodded, voice dropping low. " i told him i'm lost, and he insisted i come with him to a safer place. "

                the ROVER knew that her current outfit made her stand out from the crowd ( as it was a lot more revealing from those she happened to catch a glimpse of on the street. ) that made her draw some unwanted attention leading to the present situation. the assailant at least looked hesitant to approach now that there was another in the picture.

It was always a strange thing to come across outlandish people while he walked. He'd always found the most intriguing people this way. Today, it seemed, was no exception to this. Upon hearing the distressed voices - both that of a woman and a person he could not discern the exact gender of from the distance he was hearing them from - William decided he might as well see if he can help in any way.

To say he was surprised to see the scene before him would be underestimating the amount of strange things that the Moriarty had seen - but this certainly made a high spot on his list.

" What is going on here? " He spoke, firm and addressing both parties. He noted the shape of a weapon attached to the woman and stepped up beside her.

" Is he bothering you, good lady? " Moriarty whispered, lowly - quiet enough so that he knew only she could hear.
