@bucketfullofocs REPORTED: Aya blinks up at him, a little confused and very curious. "I, um, I was told you wanted to ask me a few questions?" Andria had told her there was someone who wanted to speak to her - some sort of journalist? Why she had no idea, but maybe it was about the library? [In which Aya has no idea she's got someone wondering if she's a Crime Lord]
🗞️ Surely not. Surely, the coral-maned beauty before him with her chocolate rum eyes and jewel-flecked skin, whose sweet soprano brushed past his senses as a siren’s song, was just a simple librarian. Ah, but he knew better, that poison could taint sugared lace just the same as it could sit, clearly labeled in a jar on the shelf. It was a shame at times, to have heard so many tragic tales that he would have to pay such mindful heed to the potential dangers of even the prettiest of pictures. After all, it was an interesting, warped mind that could find companionship in those known to fly a Black Flag - the likes of Bloody Moon, whose body count was nearly as renowned as his multiple violent acts against the World Government, Red Flag, an actual Supernova of their time, and traitor of the Marines... even a member of Mugiwara no Luffy’s crew, and those were just the few he knew off the top of his head. A pen removed from the confines of his dress shirt’s pocket, and held aloft a polite distance from the earth-eyed maiden, a thumb pressed against the recording button.
“Ah, yes, Ma’am, my name is Acta Diurna, and I’m with the World Economy Newspaper! Don’t worry, I’m not with the Marines, nor will anything you say be used against you. I just wanted to ask you a few questions, about some of the pirates you’ve been seen with.“ 🗞️
