May, 1879, Somewhere In The Atlantic--

Updated my very long dgs story.

Ryunosuke, what happened with your little aquarium??? Are the little critters alright?? -💖

💖,

...I forgot the aquarium.... I know it would have been impossible to bring with me, and there was so much on my mind I simply... forgot.

Though, that being said, it really was Susato and Iris who tended to the aquarium. They named the... how did you call them? Critters? Within. They cleaned the tank and found plants to put inside of it.

Actually, I feel as though the aquarium is going to be perfectly fine. Perhaps it will thrive now that Iris is responsible for it...

Best, Ryuunosuke Naruhodou

Dear Uncle Naruhodo,

Did you had go through a time were the person who you were defending turned out to be nothing but a liar but couldn’t do anything about it.

You see my friend/judicial assistant brother Factor Karma.

Did something unbelievable and it ended up in my friend/judicial assistant Victoria Karma being gone forever.

Sorry if this to inconvenient for you

Henry Kilnt Van zikes

Dear Henry,

I am afraid that I have experienced quite a similar situation in my past. While we did not know for certain whether or not my client was guilty, I (as well as my judicial assistant) suspected that he was openly lying on the stand, even going so far as to manipulate the evidence and bribe members of the court.

While I do not know the particulars of your situation, it sounds like an upsetting one indeed. I know that, if I lost my judicial assistant, I would be... well... lost. She is the cornerstone of my court experiences; without her, my skills as a lawyer would crumble.

If you need to talk to someone about those events, I have quite a bit of free time.

Respectfully, Naruhodou Ryuunosuke

To the anonymous gift giver:

I must say... this is an immaculately crafted carving. While such talents should be used in more proper forms of carpentry, beautiful ornate furniture and the like, I cannot deny the beauty of this simple object.

I would like to while away my hours with whittling, though I have been put under immense isolation and careful watch. I argue that I am not a dangerous man, and yet they will not allow me tools for woodworking. I will treasure this.

Hi!!!

Albert what is the nicest thing Barok van Zieks has done for you?

Hello, anon!!

Having been asked this question twice in such few days, I have been reflecting on the relationship between the two of us. All my life, I have never had a friend like him. He understands me in a way that no one else does. And, I know that he does not judge me for who I am, how I act, and, most importantly, how I feel.

And so, it is with this knowledge that I brought up my particular feelings towards him the other night. The two of us were laying in comfortable silence in the morning, as we often do, when I expressed the depth of my affection towards him, how much he means to me.

I can now say with confidence that the nicest thing Barok has ever done for me is to return my affections, and enter into this exciting new part of my life. I cannot wait to see where our experiment goes from here.

With a heart light as a feather, Albert Harebrayne

Lord van Zieks, do you do ballet?

-⚙️

To ⚙️,

I am rather surprised that you were able to pick up on such a trait of mine. It does depend upon how you define 'doing' ballet. My father would never let a son of his take any sort of lessons in something like ballet. It was below us, something a man should not be able to do.

However, every now and then, I would walk in on my brother dancing. His poses were graceful and difficult, showing off the power in his legs. He told me that it was ballet, though he never did tell me how he learned it.

It was something we bonded over. He showed me how to warm up for such dances, do careful stretches, how to perform leaps and lifts and other such things.

I do have an idea how he learned, but... that's long passed. Perhaps I can hire a private tutor for these lessons. I think it would be quite fun.

Dear Kazuma

You will never get it if you don’t ask Barok van zieks

Dear anon,

Assuming that this is in relation to the mysterious note I was given the other day, I asked Barok. He assumed it was about adoption as well, something that seems rather ridiculous, as I cannot be given up in that way anymore. I already have been adopted into a family and even so, I am at the age where I am now considered my own family of one.

Mod Update: brief hiatus!

Unfortunately, I'm going to have to take a brief hiatus from answering questions. You're absolutely still free to send them in, in fact, I encourage that! But I probably won't get around to answering them for another week or so. Sorry for the trouble!

Thoughts on Rosie?

Anon,

I am afraid I don't quite know who you are referring to. Is it a woman? A child? An animal? Simply the flower in general? Either way, I seem always a bit calmed by roses. The concept of such a beautiful flower being protected by thorns, especially ones that will not affect me due to the metal nature of my hand...

I cannot help to relate to such a thing. They inspire me. I cannot explain as to why.

miss susato did you ship holmes & watson be honest (in case you don't know what "ship" means, it refers to thinking two characters would be appealing in a romantic relationship)

Dear ribbonroad,

I don't know that the two of us have met before, and knowing this, I find it rather unlikely that this information will get to... well... my father.

I find that it's quite easy to understand that their bond was a very strong one as it was written within the story, something nearly unbreakable and rather unexplainable. It is something shared simply between the two of them, and it was not hard to read into that relationship.

(It was particularly easy when I met Holmes-san and listened to how he discussed his partner.)

I hope this helps! Susato Mikotoba
