Mayura burst past Yamino into the main hall exuberantly, knocking the butler flying and leaving a trail of muddy wet footprints in her wake.
"Loki-kun! Loki-kun!" she called as she raced up the stairs towards the trickster's study. She flung the door open to the sight of Loki, his head resting askew on the desk, snoring lightly. Mayura ran up to the sleeping detective's desk and slammed it heavily. Loki snorted, waking with a start.
"Mayura?" he asked blearily. The pink-haired girl practically jumped up and down in excitement.
"You won't believe it! I had a vision! It's a real mystery! A mystery!" Loki frowned in sleepy confusion.
"How do you know it wasn't just a dream, Mayura?" he asked patiently, as one would to a child who was convinced they'd heard a monster under their bed. Mayura shook her head violently and leant further over the desk.
"I dreamt that it would be raining today, and it is! And there was Fenrir sleeping on your sofa, which he is," she pointed frantically at the sofa where, indeed, Fenrir was dozing amongst the cushions.
"Fenrir always sleeps there. It's a mere coincidence, Mayura. Rain and a dog's sleeping habits aren't signs of prophetic visions." Loki sighed. Mayura really was too imaginative for her own good on occasions.
"But Loki-kun…what if I'm possessed or something? In my dream there was a foreign woman with blonde hair raving about you to Kaito-san in my street. On the way here, I even saw them! It really is a mystery! Do you know her?" Mayura looked so blissful at the idea that there was another real mystery, that Loki was afraid she would break something in her excitement.
But that certainly was strange, he'd admit. A coincidence? Must be. Still, what was Freya playing at?
"Okay, Mayura. I admit it's mysterious. Why don't you prove yourself as a real detective and try to find out about this on your own? Go see if you can find the woman again." He smiled. It was an eerie smile, one that, to anyone else, would have been a warning. To a mystery-obsessed Mayura, however, it meant nothing at all. She grinned.
"Great idea, Loki-kun! You'll see! Super Detective Mayura is on the case!" She hummed as she danced back out into the hall, past a dishevelled Yamino. The green-haired man sighed in frustration as the girl trailed yet more mud and water on her way back across the floor he had just recently cleaned again.
Loki sank heavily back into the chair. Hopefully Mayura would get distracted while out investigating someone she probably wouldn't see again for a long time and he would get some peace until the next 'mysterious mystery' popped up.
It was puzzling though. Mayura having a real vision? Only the Norns got visions. And of course, anyone else they felt needed to see something to forward their fate. Knowing the Norns as Loki did, however, he had a feeling the fates were having a little joke at his expense. Words would have to be had.
Ok I didn't like this one either but there's really nothing I want to do about it. And it's so short sobs Ah well. Next will be up today hopefully. Tomorrow evening at the latest.
