[ happy saturday! on day two of this being trapped in a weird capsule hotel area, temenos can be found in the lobby, sitting with his little yellow rabbit phone in his hands. his brow is furrowed and he appears to be scrolling the phone.
... though it's with the look of someone who perhaps has never held a phone before in his entire life.

[i regret to inform you that saya is from 2003 and has only ever touched a nokia brick
she still pauses to tilt her head at him, curious.]
Are you going to try and take a bite out of it, too?

[she giggles.]
Yeah! It was pretty funny to watch.
Yeah! It was pretty funny to watch.
A shame I missed it!
[ that does sound extremely funny actually. he sounds amused. ]
This sort of... thing is unfamiliar to me, but I rarely have the first instinct to put something in my mouth when I don't understand it. [ ochette ] Is this device a bit more familiar to you?

Maybe we can convince him to try it again!
[just let ace bite all the technology. it's fine.]
A little. They have cellphones in the world they took me from, but they weren't as advanced as these.

That's a splendid idea.
[ all for chaos. also he thinks ace is very funny.
but, ah! a name!! finally! he looks down at the phone, no longer called a box. we are Learning. ] Well - you've certainly got a leg up on me. I've never seen anything quite like it. Like the tiniest of libraries in your hands. I've a scholar friend who'd nearly be beside himself with it.
...Saya, right? I'm not sure we've had the chance to be acquainted. It's a pleasure.

[she just hehes, already plotting how to get ace to bite more things. please do not encourage her.]
Mhmm. And you're Temenos, right? I read your profile on the database.

[ he returns her hehe with a mischievous little smile that suggests
perhaps he will be more than willing to encourage this chaos in the future ]
That's correct. Or, 'the Hound', I suppose, if we're to use our silly codenames. [ his is stupid it's fine. ] It's a pleasure to meet you, dear.

Hmm... Like a dog. I wonder why that is. [the prinnies did this... woof woof.] It's nice to meet you, too, mister. If we're going by our code names, then you can call me "Beauty."
[said with a little smile, like there's a joke somewhere in there.]

Barking and biting.
[lightly. that is not her real answer, though, and she taps her chin thoughtfully.]
Hounds are specifically hunting dogs. Are you a hunter of some kind? For the church?
[church sanctioned violence...]

[ 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'.
Beauty and the brains, I see.

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

[ 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.
[ or can you ]

You don't sound like you really believe in it...
[have you committed some heresy for funsies, sir.]

It's a good philosophy to have. But it makes me wonder why you chose that job. The title is a little... hmm... intense?
Hmm... Well, I'd like to listen to the story another day if you're feeling up to it.
[she will unlock his backstory one day... she shrugs!]
I didn't have a job like you. But I was looking for my dad.

[ the shitpost i put in this pc log is funny now
anyway. wow! it's friday. if saya passed by the storybook cafe scene of the crime, she may have noticed temenos standing not too far away, eyes closed, hand on his chin. if she left to deal with something else, and came back, she may find that... he has not moved at all in this span of time period.
... luckily, it seems he's starting to come out of it whenever she approaches again, eyes slowly blinking open, mouth pulled into a thoughtful frown. ]
...Hello, Saya.

...Hello, Saya.
... Hi, Temenos.
[she seems a little bummed, even as she takes a sip from a cute purple tumbler with a straw. she glances at the coffee ship real quick, frowning.]
Did the prinnies let you go inside?

[ coffee ship ]
...Mm. Just long enough to look around, and to find him. Albedo and Robin were with me.
[ he frowns even further, hand on his chin - though saya does get a small, brief smile of greeting, it doesn't last long. ]
What about you? Were you able to search around much? They seemed to want us to... to a point, at least.

Oh. [hm.] They me go inside the arcade with Reigen and Nimona. It looked like there was a big fight but... no blood.
