He really could have done without that whistle first thing in the morning.
Actually, they all could have. It was way too early for that, but he’d learned through observation and the trial that Peacock… was like this. So it’d be best to not question the whistle. Especially considering everything that comes after the whistle is vastly more important.
“…Had a what?” Wataru blinks, startled and confused by her declaration, which was already enough to make him rise from his seat and draw closer. Somehow, considering her whole… everything so far, he doubted that was all there was to it. Wait, actually, there’s something else she said that also draws concern.
“What reason did you have for even going in there in the first place?” He questions, arms folding across his chest as his brows raise in curiosity. He’s sure she won’t actually answer, but he’s asking anyways. Since others probably will, so it’s better to get the lack of any answer out of the way first, right?
Wataru pauses for a moment next, peering at Peacock and the notebook with a thoughtful expression. Does he want to know? It’s not like this was meant for them to see in the first place, and it felt disrespectful to be looking through a dead person’s belongings, but… he couldn’t lie and say he wasn’t curious at all. Sigh.
“…I suppose I will take you up on your offer, if you’re going to be courteous enough to share with the class,” He responds with a smile, lifting a hand now to rest his cheek in his palm, as if this were something simple like classmates exchanging phone numbers. “Do tell me, then, miss Peacock. What is there to say about yours truly, Hibiki Wataru?”
Well, this is surprising! Out of all the freaks and geeks to ask first, it’s Wataru, gacha game boy? Peacock feels she should be annoyed that someone else didn’t come up to her first (especially since he’s asking why she was there in the first place, the asshole), but for now, she’ll let it slide. Something written in a murder book would intrigue even the prettiest of boys, it seems, so she can’t exactly fault him for that. Peacock did offer.
She didn’t offer to explain why she was in Goro’s room in the first place, but whatever! The young girl grins, scooting herself closer to Wataru. To be fair, she didn’t exactly get a good look at his entry (or any entry that wasn’t related to her, Marie or Bendy), so this will be an adventure for the two of them. Before she flips to his page, she looks up at him, frowning.
“Wouldn’t you like t’know why I was in there,” she answers. Why couldn’t he be a ‘ask questions later’ sort of guy? “Fer yer information, the door was open, and I got curious!”
A straight-up lie. She’ll atone for that at a later time. Maybe. Probably not. ... No.
“Anyway,” she says, finally turning to Wataru’s page, “let’s have a look-see!”
Peacock blinks, almost not believing what she sees at first. After seeing Goro speak so negatively about her and Marie, seeing ‘Magician = entertainer, uplifts spirits’ and ‘Intriguing’ on the same page boils her blood a little. Did he really have to be so positive about him and only him!?
Well, it still says he could have a fake personality, so that’s good enough for now.
“Seemed a little too dedicated to keeping people’s spirits up... Fake?” she reads, almost tempted to cover the nice descriptions with her thumb, but Wataru sees them before she can hide any of that. “He thought you were skilled at detecting lies too... Guess he wasn’t gonna do you in necessarily. Still was a pretty damn suspicious asshole, though!”
