That depends on whether I find the ploy itself amateurish.

A professional's interest is in the truth. Whereas I would expect someone concerned with solving particularly notorious cases to be a person less concerned with the immediate case, but rather fixated on a more distant goal that they're advancing toward. Which begs the question of what that goal might be, and how personally selfish it is.

I'm not so hypocritical as to pretend that I wouldn't or haven't done something similar. I simply had the decency to be ashamed of myself for it.

[mousquetaires]

I can appreciate that point of view. In your eyes, that integrity is part of what distinguishes an amateur from a professional, then?

That's a rather noble ideal to hold that line of work towards, Kirigiri-san.
It would be quite nice, I believe, if all "professionals" held themselves to it.
The "Detective Prince" can likely learn a thing or two from you!

[freshprints]

It's certainly a significant part of it. I would call it "pride", because that's the way the concept was taught to me. Our pride is in the superiority of our methods, and one of those methods is doing what we do unseen, unconcerned with glory or acclaim.

Will I meet him at your soft opening? Perhaps you could seat us together — I imagine we'd have a great deal to talk about.

Or perhaps it'd be better if you didn't, since you said you wanted your soft opening to go smoothly.

[mousquetaires]

While I did invite him, and a bit more formally than I invited you, at that...I wouldn't be surprised if he neglected to make an appearance.
In the alternative, if he were to arrive, I believe he would keep to himself, in my company, so I doubt there would be any true conflict.

As I've mentioned, the situation between us is complicated.
I can't blame him for keeping himself at arm's length from me...
But I do think we could get somewhere, if he didn't.

[freshprints]

I understand.

If he does put in an appearance, I hope you'll point him out to me. And if there were some sort of problem, rest assured I would be at your disposal for resolving it.

[mousquetaires]

I'll be sure to give you the best introduction I'm able, should I catch you two in the same room. I have little concern that there will be any issues either way, though.
I have no shortage of faith in your professionalism. You've more than proven that much, Kirigiri-san.
Between both of our skillsets, I believe everything will turn out just fine.

By the by, did the flower survive your trip home?
I thought it was rather fitting for you, admittedly.
Cosmos often means something along the lines "harmony," or "modesty"...
But a white cosmos, specifically, stands for "grace."

[freshprints]

[ ! ]

It did survive. I've been looking around for a method of preserving it, actually; I'm fond of flowers, so it was a welcomed gift.

You can't possibly be referring to my dancing, though. You far surpass me in terms of grace.

[mousquetaires]

Is that so? I wasn't aware of that...
Had I known, I would have been happy to show you the flower bed I've been tending to...
While it's not quite on par with the ones I had back home yet, I certainly can't deny that I've been making progress.

As for your grace, your dancing is simply part of the whole, so to speak.
In both ballet and daily life, you have quite a natural way about you, Kirigiri-san.
