VOICE ✍ 005

[inseine]

[It is mid-morning, approaching the afternoon, when Javert makes this mysterious announcement. There is no context, no emotional inflection in his cold and indifferent voice, and no further explanation offered.

It is also interesting to note for his superiors that he has not come into police headquarters today. All he has done is sent a simple, succinct message to his administrative coordinater: Inspector Javert will not be in today.]

Doctor Naomi Hunter's [--and that he says with a strange emphasis--] laboratory and clinic are closed to the public. All of you patients must have received referrals from her recently. It is suggested that you use them indefinitely.

[There is a lengthy, silent pause before Javert responds with the same dearth of emotion exhibited in his voice bulletin.]

I remember you. So you have returned, D. [Another pause, followed by a hasty assumption:] If you wish to reapply you must send your paperwork to Mademoiselle von Karma this time.

...Reapply.... ah. [ A bit of hesitance, then a reply. ]

I just thought I should speak with you. Its been some time.

[chose-death.livejournal.com]

... Indeed.

[Some time has passed since they have last spoken, D. And many events have occurred, as well, the most significant of which has just transpired last night.]

Well. [His voice is even, flat, and cold.] You've got me here, now. Speak.

...I could only sound as you do... if it involved Takuma. [ Or even Sasuke, at this point. ]

What happened.

[chose-death.livejournal.com]

Ah! [Javert barks dryly and bitterly.] I shield my face, so it is heard in my voice. My self-control is slipping. Or you are better than I remember. [A pause. He murmurs,] Yes... You are a good detective. Reconsider applying again.

--Nothing unexpected has happened. It doesn't much concern you.

[willwalkforever.livejournal.com]

...I suppose not. [ But D knew that mere contact could speak volumes. Maybe he didn't have anything to say about... whatever could have possibly been going on, however, the face he had bothered to touch base with Javert, regardless, said something. ]

Take care, Inspector.

By the way--

[Yes, he is willingly holding you up, D. He is an honorable fellow below that rough and cold exterior.]

You must have rung about my announcement, at first. Were you a patient of hers? I cannot remember how you might know her. If you had.

[willwalkforever.livejournal.com]

No. I never met her.

...I didn't need to, in order to ask about her. She is connected to you, after all.

[chose-death.livejournal.com]

Fine. I will grant you that, then.

[Slowly, almost reluctantly, he adds in a quiet and begrudged murmur,]

Thank you.

[ The Hunter was silent for a moment, before he responded back. ]

...You're welcome.

[Javert has resumed his calm, cold, bizarrely mild tone.]

Do you have any other questions?
