And that gets Togusa to outright laugh, his irritation from only moments ago forgotten. "Oh, just because Detective Noah Gabranth has no reason to get upset doesn't mean he won't get upset." Togusa shakes his head. He will completely acknowledge why his superior officer is difficult to work with.

"There's a chance that we've already gotten enough extra help with this latest update, though. I counted a new detective, two new officers, and a member of our CSI team. But at least I want us to let the Department know what we're doing. Even if we've got the numbers to act on our own."

"I'm still going through some unofficial investigations, there are some leads, mostly of information that people have probably overlooked, to go through. It's man-hours more than anything else." He sighs and shrugs. "But, for some reason, again, it's my name that keeps coming up."

"A stubborn sort of man, isn't he?" Good for you, Ardyn, you left your criticisms of his character rather vague and generally without undue bias. Gold star.

He effortlessly moves on.

"If the investigations are of an unofficial capacity, you know of a lawyer-slash-professor who would be more than willing to put in some effort, should his schedule allow it. Maybe then my name can annoyingly crop up almost as often as yours."

Togusa's smile softens, remains very genuine. The whole situation feels strangely lonely, as if it's supposed to be all on the Department to protect everyone else from Retrospec. But maybe it doesn't have to be. "I'd appreciate it. As I've mentioned before, it's far too late to tell you to butt out."

"That," he nods towards Ardyn's coat, where the map is hidden back away, "might be coming into play sooner rather than later. All I need is the right opportunity."

Interest sparks in him almost immediately at those words. Ardyn straightens in his seat, looking at Togusa quizzically, but certainly not with any amount of hesitation.

"Is that so? Should I ask for the details?"

[standalonehuman]

"At least, somebody needs to go down there and check, are people being kept out of there because it is actually unsafe and there is active construction? Or is there something being hidden down there. Is Retrospec taking advantage?" Togusa smiles a little. "And they can't keep us out of every entrance all the time. Looking into something like this is right in the job description, isn't it?"

[daemonized]

Well now, this is an exciting sort of proposition. Sign Ardyn up; he's ready to do a little exploring in dark, abandoned subways for the sake of potentially unravelling the mystery.

"You're right, it is. And I'd hate to discourage you from doing your job." That is definitely not a mischievous intonation in his words.

"I'll gladly help. The more pair of eyes, the better, hm?"

[standalonehuman]

Oh really? Togusa leans forwards in interest, because this is something he'd like to see. "Getting the Professor out of the classroom? Like I said, I'll take all the help I can get." But this is going to be some help he will be fascinated with.

"I'll be sure to let you know when I give it a try, then." When, not if. As soon as he gets a clear opportunity, Togusa will go for it.
