Cleaning table tops and making the shop presentable.

had heard rumours about a few things and has come into the sushi shop to inquire in guise of a customer.

humming along to the radio as he cleans, although it all comes to a stop when the door tingles announcing Ludwig's presence. He turns, customer service smile on, and greets him. 'Welcome to Yo!Sushi, is it_

just yourself today sir?'

glances at him and gives him a small smile. "Ja, I'm the only one."

Nods, looking around. 'Well, you have your pick today sir. Why don't you take a seat and I will bring a menu and some green tea over.'

finds it interesting that this man was working in a sushi restaurant but doesn't comment on it as he takes a seat at the back of the place.

soon back over with a cup of green tea and a menu. 'Is this your first time with us, sir?'

glances up at him and nods. "Actually, I've never tried sushi if you can believe it or not. What would you recommend?"

opens the menu and leans over to help, grinning. 'It's actually not that surprising....' He points out a few different types of sushi, suggesting some lighter flavours to start off with.

hums as he glances over them. "Which one is your favourite?" He asks curiously.

smiles, pointing to one of the plainer looking items on the menu. 'Inari sushi, named because they look like a foxes ears. It's rice, bundled into a small tofu pocket and then deep fried. It's quite sweet.'

let's his eyes run over the name a few times. "I'll get that one then."

raises an eyebrow as he stands up straight again. 'Is that all today for you, sir?' he asks, hiding the bafflement in his voice. That would hardly fill the man up.

was not here to eat. "Ja, for now. Is it alright if I keep the menu with me."

Nods, 'Of course. You can just press the button at the side of the table when you need attention. Your order should appear on the conveyor belt soon.'

holds his gaze. "Actually, I was wondering if you could join me for a few questions as long as it's not too busy...of course. It's nothing personal I can assure."

Looks around before shrugging, managing a more genuine smile. 'It'll keep me entertained for a while, why not?' He sits opposite him, getting comfortable. 'So let me guess, a good reporter?'

*food

smiles lightly. "You could say that. I investigate strange happenings in cities and towns." He half lies. "For example, right now, I've heard rumours that at a certain time at night it has been

reported that people have heard melodic singing from a certain area of the forest. Have you heard anything about this?"

Nods, 'Aye. The auld biddies are always gossiping about that to there grand kids. But that's all it is, right? Auld wives' tales.'

hums nodding it lightly. "Even when there's been missing kids from this forest every year?"

Doesn't really appreciate all the questions, although he doesn't let it show. 'What do you think it could be then?'

shrugs, of course, he had an idea but he didn't want to say anything. "That's why I'm asking around. To figure that out."

Shrugs, 'I usually keep go myself. Work here to earn enough to get by and then go hole to read a book.' He gives him a sympathetic smile. 'Wish I could help.'

sighs. "No, that's fine. It was help enough."

((So many typos ;; ))

Spots his order on the conveyor belt, smiling. He gets it down for him, placing it in front of the man. 'Are you sure you don't want anything else?' He asks, starting to get up.

glances at it and shakes his head. "This will be good." He doubted he'd be able to afford to much else.

Nods, smiling politely. 'If you have any other questions don't hesitate to ask.' Only when he turns does he frown. Another hunter... Huh?

was a hunter but he wasn't targeting Gregory or Elizaveta. It was something else.

Texts Elizaveta when he is clear of the table, giving her a description and suggesting she comes down to check if it's the same guy or not. He glances back at the man every so often, keeping an eye on him.

tries the food taking his time with it and contemplating his next course of action.

Decides not to wait for her reply, confronting the man himself. He walks over, sitting opposite him with his arms crossed. 'Are you the hunter that's been sniffing around Elizaveta?'

frowns at the aggressive tone that was taken with him. "I did ask her questions, ja."

Knew it! His frown deepens. 'Why are you sniffing around here then?'

doesn't look any more pleased. "Exactly what I told you when I came in. I had questions that I wanted to ask you."

Scowls, 'Why me? Who are you after?'

doesn't look impressed. "That's what I'm trying to figure out."

Isn't very impressed by him either, 'And you thought I was a kiddy snatcher?'

him an incredulous look. "Actually no, unless you only come out during October only then would I consider you a 'kiddy snatcher'."

Snorts, '... What only comes out in October? Now it really is sounding like an auld wife's tale.'

irritated. "And you and Elizaveta are not? The rest of the world sees the both of you as folklore and nothing more."

to stop himself from raising his voice, 'Me and Elizaveta aren't exactly the same, so get your facts straight Mr.Hunter.' He leans forward, 'Does this mean you believe in monsters in the closet and under_

The bed too?'

not at all perturbed by his aggression. "I never said you were the same. I just said you both are nothing more than folklore in the eyes of the public." His expression hardens. "What's it to you what I believe

in. I've seen a lot of stuff that most people couldn't even conjure up in their nightmares. If that means believing in monsters in the closet and under the bed then yes."

Scoffs, 'That's the problem with Hunter's. Because they'e seen a few things they believe in everything. Ever thought you might be chasing a pedophile instead of a monster?' He pauses, 'Probably not.'

tensed at that. "What's the difference?"

Shrugs, 'A pedophile kills for his own jollies. Folklore tends to do it for a reason.'

's lip curves up at that. "I'd have to disagree with that. I've run into folklore who didn't have much of a reason."

Shrugs, 'Maybe they're just reasons you don't understand.'

bristles at that. Torturing a small child until they're begging for death....that's a very warped reason. "If we're going with that logic than the pedophiles also have a reason that we don't quite understand."

nods, 'But they're doing it to their own kind. There is something especially twisted about that.'

can't disagree with that. "I'm not trying to defend the human race. I'm trying to do my job. You clearly know nothing of what I'm looking for so don't worry about me."

Gets up, 'If I see you sniffing around Elizaveta's and mine's I'll be having words. Don't need hunters getting suspicious.'

is still frowning. "Ja, okay." That meant something suspicious.

kills less than Elizaveta, so he should not be too concerned. He has his customer service smile on when more customers enter, greeting them and guiding them to a table.

had not been concerned with Gregory. He finishes the small bit of food before paying and exiting. He didn't need to cause needless drama within the restaurant. He did make sure to leave a tip in

spite.

takes the tip with the intention it was given and uses it

to distract a crying child later on. Afterall, the tip isn't all that big on a piece of sushi.
