[ curiosity in his tone there - there's a light amusement to it, and he tilts his head, clasping his hands together in front of himself. ] It's not an unfamiliar nickname, so color me curious. What makes a hound?
[ amusement flickers across his face immediately, because he liked both of those answers, actually? the first is familiar and funny for a variety of profile and non profile reasons, and the second - ]
Bravo, Saya. [ very good, very good. approving! ] Something quite like that, yes. I am the Inquisitor for the Church of the Sacred Flame. I investigate heresy and other sorts of crimes on behalf of the Pontiff - and thus, the ever so flattering nickname of the 'Pontiff's hound'.
[ he does not back off of this at all! he is an open book. kind of. an open book in another language. but he lets saya size him up, and hums, tilting his head back and forth as he considers his answer. ]
Oh, all sorts of things, some more heretical than others, some more strict than others... [ this is delivered very flippantly, almost with a sigh. like it is a shame that there are so many heretical things. ] Like most things in life, it ought to depend on your purview. Can't very well accuse someone of heresy when they've not known that they've done it.

Beauty and the brains, I see.

Oh? Is that so... [a tilt of her head, blatantly sizing him up.] And what's considered heresy in your religion?

[ or can you ]

[have you committed some heresy for funsies, sir.]
no subject
[ simple as that. whether it's the gods, the sacred flame, or the facts of a murdergame. ] Doubt is what I do, after all.

[ week 0 is too early for the backstory unlock. he smiles!! ]
What about you, Saya? What did you do, before you wound up in this place?
no subject
[she will unlock his backstory one day... she shrugs!]
I didn't have a job like you. But I was looking for my dad.
no subject
[ hehe. i believe in you miss saya
anyway - at the answer, he tilts his head, brow knitting a little. ] Oh...? Had he gone missing?
no subject
[her new goal is getting that #backstory.
her expression falls a little with the new topic, though, and she nods.]
Mhmm. He stopped coming home one day, and he hasn't been answering his phone.
