Marlowe walks up to the body and crouches down, his helmet's visor lighting up relevant details such as the state of the body, the badge, last known locations.. he definitely had some questions for the guards. "Everything you said matches up, not that I don't believe you." ->
The walk down Pester Trail is perfectly pleasant. Without the undercurrent of a homicide, it'd just be another day in the woods, like so many others for her. Eventually, the dense trees give way to rockier terrain, and there they find the cave. Two individuals in crimson, ... 1/3

"It definitely does look like a bear got to him, which is a shame." He leaned in, inspecting what he could of the man's neck. "Mm. That lines up too." He takes the badge off of the man's vest, holding it in his hand as he stands, looking around. "Your Jackalopes see anything?"

He moves a bit closer to her, wanting to be near his friend as he turns his gaze back out over the City, then back at her. "Yeah. Can.. I ask you for one more thing?" "I'd.. I feel silly asking for this. I'd like a hug, Soph. It's been a long week."
"Everybody has bad days, you gotta..." Sophie shakes her head as if she's following a train of thought she doesn't want to speak on. "It's just good to talk about it." Even if it's something she does very rarely, if ever, with her own issues. "I'm just happy to help."

"Of course. And.. sorry. I didn't mean for this to get so dark." He turns to look at her apologetically. "Soph, I appreciate you coming out here. And I appreciate the talk. It helps."
"I think everybody's a little bit of everybody's. We just take parts of each other, you know. And if it's gonna stick with us until the day we die, I think it counts as ours." At least until the memories fade and there's nothing left. "In any case, thanks for the drink."

"And you're standing in my sunlight, why exactly?"
Man, this chrome dome ain't much of a talker.

"You'll end up in my nightmares too. Everyone I meet does. Doesn't make you mine." He retorted, but settled against the railing with her, finishing off his glass. "But I appreciate the thought, Sophie."
"Don't matter. She won't leave you be, so she's yours as much as his." Sophie lays her cup on the railing as she peers at the city. Its lights shine like sparkling jewels against the dying day. "Either way, I'm sorry. It's nothing pleasant."

"She wasn't mine. She was his." He takes another drag before extinguishing it between his metal fingers, and tossing the rest away into a trash bin. He returned to his drink. "And.. they're more like waking nightmares."
"I didn't know Exos get to dream." Sophie admires the brassy liquor before downing the last of her glass. It has that numbing factor she enjoys, stifling all the aches that not even the Traveler knows how to fix. "I'm sorry about your lady friend."

"Marlowe-3 took all the notes. I think the intention was that if he reset, they'd be able to rebuild their life. Fall in love again. When she died, he reset." "I only see her in my nightmares." He sets the glass down, taking out a cigarette, lighting it, and taking a drag.
Marlowe's words draw Sophie back to her own family. There's people in this world she'll never see again. Plenty of them, too many of them, and the number just keeps on ticking. "Do you remember anything?" she asks. "Or do you have to keep letters for yourself?"

"That's probably what I should be saying to you, I can't smell. But I'll keep an eye out." As they walked, he was sure to avoid any bear droppings as he scanned the trees. It helped being alert, especially when in unfamiliar territory like he currently was.
Sophie isn't scared of everyday people, but they're still treading dangerous waters. If these soldiers decide they've noticed a little too much, it might turn into an altercation. If Marlowe's theory about the villagers is true, it'll be just as much trouble. 1/3

His thoughts turned back to everything she had told him, about the man's mysterious death and how tight lipped everyone else was about it. If they didn't open up to a Guardian, he started to wonder if he could fare any better.

"Marlowe-3 used to come up here with Adonis after a long day. They'd get their favorites. I'm keeping up an old tradition, I suppose. My way of honoring them, and the man I used to be." His words trail off as he looks over the City again. "I hope she's proud of who I am now."
"Damn." Sophie doesn't know much about life in the City itself. She's seen trouble along the outskirts, at least. In the villages. This world's not good enough for true peace. Oh well. "Well, I appreciate it. I'm never gonna turn down free booze. Better drinking and drunk."

"I'd like to go to the cave, see what we can gather from there. Then I can collect statements from the soldiers." He replied, stepping off of the bike as he looked around, seeing the booth and the man who had waved at Sophie. "I'll probably ask him first." ->
The drive down to the scene is unremarkable. These checkpoints are built on roads, concrete, cobble, or dirt, and they follow a path that Sophie picks out easily. It's a leisurely drive. She doesn't go too fast in case Marlowe spots something worth mentioning. When they ... 1/3

"Watch your back, Sophie. They could still be out here." He said, making a mental picture of where the Sparrow was parked. "Is your team over there still, by the caves?" He asked as he began to walk down the path.

"Aredhel, would it kill you to have at least a little tact?"

"Agreed. Alright, I'm ready to go." He opens the door for her, feeling the brisk air from the early morning breeze blowing in for a moment, as he fastens his helmet on. He adjusted his jacket, and stepped outside with her.
"I'm just hoping they've picked up on something over the last few weeks. It's more than we'd notice in an afternoon." Odds were this wasn't something that just *happened*. There must've been a build up to it, some tension, even if the murder itself was impulsive. 1/2

"City's crawling with all kinds of gangs, client I had had someone go missing. One of the gangs was involved. It wasn't pretty." He turned his gaze back to the City. "That's not why I brought you here, though. I needed to share a drink with something other than a ghost."
Sophie's no good at reading exos, but even she can tell something's weighing on Marlowe. Therapy's not in her skillset, she needs plenty of it herself, yet she keeps finding herself in this position. So, she leans on the railing, watching the city below. "Tell me about it."
