[Raine has spent much of her week attempting to handle several things at once, and as a result she looks both tired and slightly harried when she appears on video. All the same, there's something she hasn't handled which needs now to be outsourced.]

I'm looking for a Foreigner who arrived here a week or two ago. He's about a head taller than I am-- broad shoulders, auburn hair, carries a single longsword. His name is Kratos.

Should you see him, please don't try to apprehend or otherwise attack him. Simply inform him that I need to speak to him.

[She doesn't know why he's avoiding her. Although she has her suspicions, to confirm any of them would require talking to Kratos and finding out when he's from. Raine hesitates, then adds, very carefully:]

Depending on his point of origin, I may have some messages to relay to him from Lloyd.

...Thank you.

[And back to work. Perhaps this will bear fruit.]

Better to get you started on it early, after all.

This is like some sort of weird, backwards kind of chivalry. [And she likes it. Mostly (Pepper isn't a huge fan of violence, but she can appreciate Bakura's line of thinking). She's just never going to act on the offer.

Probably.]

I think we can get more creative than cutting things off of people, though. It's sort of medieval. Which, while a classic, is maybe not the best thing to be encouraging when I'm supposed to be arresting people for that kind of thing.

[denyamenti]

... adding things onto people, then?

[ Bakura no. ]

[lasergrenades]

[Pepper covers her eyes and laughs again, her shoulders shaking with it.]

Not quite what I meant, but points for creativity, yes. Although, if it's not permanent or super harmful, we might be in business.

[Adventures in duct tape, anyone?]

[denyamenti]

[ The fact that she had to specify super harmless, he is wickledly amused. ]

It's all a matter of perception, after all.

[lasergrenades]

[She's definitely caused people mild harm in the form of thrown books and punches, so the specification seemed warranted.]

You're trouble, have I ever told you that? [The statement is fond.] I reserve the right to veto plans that would land you behind bars because you'd just escape anyway and that would be totally awkward.
