The three women sat in silence, bar Misa's occasional sniffle. "Misa Misa just doesn't see why you can't get along." she mumbled shortly followed by more quiet sobbing. Mimic rolled her eyes.
"I don't know who your referring to, I get along with everyone." she stated crossing her arms, causing Cassey to burst out laughing.
"Yeah and secretly I am L. The crazy insomniac downstairs is an illusion." she muttered rolling her eyes. Mimic scoffed.
"Sarcasm doesn't suit you." she grumbled as Misa sniffled again. Mimic sighed "Misa, I assure you that I don't take many things personally and Light and Ryuzaki making petty comments about murderers isn't going to make me start now."
"But you looked really angry." she muttered in response.
"Well yes, but..." she paused and thought for a second "Misa, Backup is my only living childhood friend and Cassey is my current friend. Naturally when Light dismissed Cassey's idea so casually I would try and defend her similarly when L and Light insulted Backup I would try and defend him. Despite the fact I know he is a murderer and mentally... unhinged." glancing at Misa to check if she understood. "However I understand completely why L and Light objected so vehemently and so I do not hold it against them." she finished.
Downstairs the taskforce were also in silence. "I can't believe you allow her in the taskforce, she is almost as dysfunctional as that murderer friend of hers." Light laughed becoming bored by the silence. L glared at his computer screen and continued working, Mimic may be emotional but she is a skilled detective and she could outsmart Light any day of the week, he was sure of that. Light opened his mouth to continue but L cut him off.
"I believe we have made enough progress for today, you are all dismissed. I suggest you take this time to rest." He drones earning nods from the taskforce, who began to collect their things. As the last of them left Light glanced at L.
"So you think this is my fault?" he questioned.
"Light you are imagining things, I have never indicated such a belief." L replied without looking up from his computer.
"You don't have to, and if you are so concerned over the disagreement then go speak with them." he shifted to look directly at L. "Besides Mimic always argues with people." L stared at him.
"You are relatively calm considering how you acted during the disagreement." L stated causing Light to laugh.
"L I know people don't disagree with you often so arguments must be pretty strange but that's just how they work. You argue with people and then work past it." Light explained, smiling. L nodded and stood up.
"Then I suppose we should talk with them, further more if I were you I would consider apologising to Miss Amane aswell." L muttered leading the way.
"Eh? Why?" Light questioned dumbfounded.
"She was rather upset earlier, or had you failed to notice." Light looked down.
"Ah, I suppose you are right." he muttered
"Of course I am. I am always right." L chuckled before knocking on the door.
*Knock, Knock, Knock* "Mimic."
The three women exchanged glances. "Come on Misa." Mimic muttered, standing to answer the door.
*Knock, Knock, Knock* "Mimic."
"Yes, what is it L?" Mimic answered before he could knock again.
"Ah, Light was informing me the basic principle of arguments is to move on, afterwards." he explained. "Also Light wanted to apologise to Misa." he added. Misa jumped up and down.
"Yay! Light cares about Misa Misa." she exclaimed charging past Mimic and hugging Light.
"Uh yeah." Light muttered unenthusiastically trying to pry Misa off his arm.
"Oh and Miss Cassey, the rest of the taskforce has left for the day, you are also welcome to leave at any time you wish." L informed ignoring Lights pleading gestures at the other end of his chain. Cassey nodded and continued drinking her coffee, making no movement to leave. Mimic decided to take her chance to speak.
"By moving on, I assume you mean we all apologize and forget about it . Because if so you are yet to apologize and as the instigator of this apology I think you should go first." She smirked knowing L hated apologizing. L shifted uncomfortably.
"Very well... I suppose... I am sorry." he murmured. Mimic laughed evilly and clapped her hands.
"Ha, well I suppose we are sorry too." she replied smiling. "Now shall we resume with catching Kira, just because the taskforce have the day of doesn't mean you two do." she continued prying Misa from Light. L nodded an acceptance.
"Shouldn't Light apologize to?" Cassey cut in. Light stepped forward.
"I am sorry for any offence and upset I have caused you three." he declared smiling broadly, causing Cassey and Mimic to frown.
"Sincere." Mimic muttered earning a small laugh from Cassey and causing Light to glare. "Now to work!" she dramatically declared as she charged off to the main room dragging Misa behind her.
