First.

[trustwellness]

The past five days have come and gone, though exactly how easily they've done so is debatable; some have been trying to press onward in their optimism and faith that things will get better, while some seem convinced that things will only go downhill from here. However people have chosen to see it, though, clearly this week hasn't been all bad – after all, attempts at encouraging unity among the group seem to have been at least reasonably successful. ...Seem to have been. Friday dawns like the rest of the week before it – the clock chimes the hour at seven, the doors to the kitchen and the mail room unlock, and the building is quiet. It would seem that maybe the night passed reasonably quietly – were it not for the large red smears on the walls and floor of the southeastern side of the dormitory. It looks like somebody decided to be a damn overachiever and took some initiative of their own. >Explore?

[Nick looks back to the small crowd of people in that room, and back to the bunny in front of him. He gets it, sort of. She's a cop, wants to go investigate the murder blah blah blah.. but she looks like she could crack at any moment and he doesn't like her, no, but he also doesn't want to see a bunny cry. Or get stepped on in that crowd. Whichever comes first.]

There's too many people crowded around in there, Hopps. And really, what are you gonna do that anyone else can't do? Sniff the dead body with your cute little button nose?

[Honestly he just doesn't want there to be a real confirmation that someone is dead.. maybe it's a joke or someone got in a fight or something.. sure...]

[Judy twitches, feeling her knees go weak as she hears Mercy call out for Adelina. A moment later, Guzma leaves, quickly. Then Varric.

She doesn't have to go to know why.

She was going to snap at Nick for saying things like that at a time like this, but ultimately Judy says nothing at all. She just stands there, watching the end of the hallway, her nose twitching as she tries to think about what to do. She's an officer, she needs to investigate this and bring whoever did it to justice.

...but Adelina. It's pretty close to home, even if they only knew each other a short while.

The rabbit takes a deep breath to steel herself, then turns toward...wherever isn't the bloody side of the hall.]

I need to...look for evidence.

[And she's going, whether Nick tags along or not.]

[Nick watches Judy walk away with her little bunny tail between her legs and he rolls his eyes. He contemplates going back to bed but, well... he kind of can't now that someone has definitely been murdered. It'd be suspicious first of all and second of all, it's just creepy sleeping with someone dead just down the hall.

So, because he doesn't know the first thing or two about investigating he'll just. Follow Judy around for now.]
