Ardyn can't help but agree. The idea was interesting, regardless, to use a suit to unearth more information about a company that was a giant question mark in their lives. But more information was necessary, it was always necessary when jumping through the hoops of filing a lawsuit.

He gives Togusa a grin. "Yes. For now. And unless this company is truly nothing short of a ghost, then I'm hoping that you can find something floating in the aether. A stepping stone that leads to a bigger understanding of just what is happening."

But he can't help but quirk a brow, a slight inclined that heralds his upcoming question. "Have you voiced this idea to your fellow colleagues yet?"

[standalonehuman]

"Umm," it's not that the answer to that question is 100% a no. "A few, but none of the Detectives." That's the short answer. "Like I said, I wanted my argument finalized before I went to Detective Wolf with it. I couldn't quite get the chance to make my argument to Detective Gabranth. Although he was also investigating that building." There's maybe a ray of hope that he would act on the idea.

"Lou was in favor of collecting more information." Togusa hesitates. "There is always reaching out to your brother. Which I haven't done yet, because he's not involved. He'd be the guy I'd trust to not look at me like I'm crazy when I show it to him."

"I can at least agree with you there. If you mention this to Fynn, I can almost guarantee he'll 'run with it', as the saying goes," he replies. "My brother is a lot of things, but lacking in enthusiasm he certainly isn't."

He leans back in his chair again.

"If you want someone eager to help, ask him. And if you require my aid concerning any of the legalese that might crop up, don't hesitate to ask. This is a mystery that affects the lot of us, and I'll do what I can to help unravel it if need be."

[standalonehuman]

"I'm grateful. Really. I can't explain how nice it is to know someone will take this seriously."

But when he thinks about it all for a second, Togusa chuckles and shakes his head. "It seems I'm about to be in a significant amount of debt to the Izunia family, all told. Your nephews ever need anything, let me know, I owe them one for their Valentine's setup." A fond smile flickers across his face.

"And now there's you and your brother, both. I know you won't be shy about cashing in any markers I give you, but they're well deserved."

Ardyn gives Togusa a smile that loses a bit of its sardonic edge. As a result, it comes off as far more sincere as he speaks.

"Please, there's little need to thank me. I don't understand why no one would take this seriously coming from you, especially given the situation at hand. Approaching the problem at various angles is the only way to solve this particular conundrum."

At the mention of his family, however, Ardyn hums in amusement and leans forward with his elbows on his desk.

"My nephews are very motivated young boys, aren't they? Did you enjoy your Valentine's Day as a consequence of their planning?"

[standalonehuman]

Togusa smiles fondly and looks down a little. Not always one to kiss and tell, but he nods. "Yes. It was," he shakes his head and laughs. "It was funny how on the nose their matchup was. Gentiana." He knows that she and Ardyn know each other, but isn't sure of what they think of the other. "The funny part was that she and I admitted that we would have thought to ask the other one out soon, regardless. But it was nice to have the hand of fate guiding us." It had led to a very lovely evening.

"I at least feel like I owe them. Or I wouldn't say no if they needed my help. Probably wouldn't have anyway, but now? Anything they need within reason." Has to add that last part, because he doesn't know the two of them that well.

"Gentiana? Is that so?" he asks, a spark of curious amusement in his eyes at that admission. "She's certainly an interesting one, though more often than not she's prone to giving me the cold shoulder."

He quirks a grin, and adds, "Tell her hello for me the next you see her, won't you? Since I think she finds me exasperating at best."

[standalonehuman]

"She is..." Amazing, incredible, thoughtful, unlike anyone else Togusa has met? "Unique. And not prone to putting up with anything that she doesn't want to." He chuckles. "Sorry that you find yourself in that category."

"But I will tell her you said hello." If Togusa can see something positive in the both of them, perhaps the two of them can see positivity in each other.
