"Oh hey, I'm getting a text from him right now." Ann tells her companion. Let me read it to you.
Look down at the table.
Morgana tilts his head at this. "Did he set up a scavenger hunt at the hotel?"
Ann just shrugs. She starts a sentence as she follows Akira's instructions. "Maybe. He does weird things li-OH MY GOD!" As she finishes screaming, Ann realizes she's making a scene. Her face turns beet red as a few people close to her table turn to look at her. Hearing the commotion, A well-dressed staff member strode over to her.
"Hello miss, is there an issue?" The man inquired. He looked down at Ann expectantly, probably wondering what a teen was doing here disrupting the fancy dinners of all of the businesspeople here.
Panicking, she glanced at Morgana, and mouthed a quick play along, and kicked her bag. Turning her attention to the gentleman in front of her, she gave a shy, "I'm sorry. I saw a cat walking near the buffet. I was just so surprised I couldn't help it. I'm so sorry." Ann gave the man in front of her the most innocent look she could manage.
Morgana jumped out of the bag and sauntered through the dining room. "It's right there! I'm so sorry for disturbing everyone, I really didn't mean to cause a scene." Hamming it up, Ann started scrunching her face, looking like she was about to cry.
The worker in front of her just gave her a soft smile. "No problem miss. It should be a shock to see a wild animal in our establishment, we work very hard to exceed expectations for cleanliness. I do ask that if you have any issues in the future, you come to a staff member and be a little more...discreet."
Ann just nodded. "Of course. I'm so sorry to bother you." Once the man left, she grabbed Akira and put him on her shoulder. "What happened to you?"
"I shrank."
Ann rolled her eyes at Akira's deadpan response. "I got that far. What made you shrink?"
"I went to Takemi's office before this and she gave me a drug to test. but I don't know how a drug could shrink somebody."
Ann nodded. "It's a decent lead. What do you think we should do first?"
Akira contemplated the situation.
Option 1: Call the team, and meet at Leblanc.
Option 2: Go to Takemi's clinic. Maybe her medicine did do something.
Option 3: Akira has an out of the box idea. (Author's Choice)
