[Ms. Aria Stel (NOT Steele) @AStel_Chem]

" Hello fellow teachers of the SPDM, Foundation Staff and.. Laplace.. Researchers. I'm sure if you're here you already know who I am.

If you're one of my student, please ignore this page and get back to your studies.

And if you're here on behalf of investigator Steele? Leave. "

[Ms. Aria Stel (NOT Steele) @AStel_Chem]

@Ruminating_Muse ; Aria doesn't say anything for a long moment, softly sighing as she stands up.. hesitating before she loosely grabs Sols arm and pulls her into a hug - wiping her tears with the sleeve of her dress.

"...Do you have any idea where Silex went, the day he got sick?-"

[Ms. Aria Stel (NOT Steele) @AStel_Chem]

; Aria finds herself standing in the center of Silex's office.. door left open behind her.

It's a pigsty in here, that's how she'd deem it.. Silex would argue otherwise but the fact Aria keeps almost slipping on loose documents tells her all she needs to know about the man.

@Ruminating_Muse ; Aria sighs, closing the notebook and setting it in her lap as she looks at up Sol.

" You'd don't have to shriek, keep your voice down. "

...

" Yes, Ivan is sick. That's why I've been pulled from my work to assist. Keep your composure, Ms. Rozendaal. Fear has no place here. "

[Ms. Aria Stel (NOT Steele) @AStel_Chem]

@Ruminating_Muse "Hm. Yes. Silex is learning that now. And his friend. Ivan, was it?"

; Aria doesn't bother to look back up at Sol, seemingly unamused with the notebooks content as she thumbs through more pages.

"I'm trying to get answers for where he went. To help them, Sol."

[Ms. Aria Stel (NOT Steele) @AStel_Chem]

@Ruminating_Muse ; Aria looks up from the notebook in hand.

Gaze meeting Sols as she chuckles.

"I'm sure it's not breaking if the door was left unlocked. I have good reason to be in here, even if it means Mr. Steele won't like the fact I am."

; Her tone is pretty flat, gazing back at the book.

[Ms. Aria Stel (NOT Steele) @AStel_Chem]

@Ruminating_Muse ; Arias quiet for a few minutes, Sol being able to hear pages turning as she thumbs through the notebook she discovered in the drawers.

" ...I'm not the investigator? what the hell is he on about. No wonder he hid this thing.. he sounds insane. I'm sure psych would love him.. "

[Ms. Aria Stel (NOT Steele) @AStel_Chem]

@Ruminating_Muse ; Thankfully, Aria doesn't hear Sol lurking in the corridor. Too preoccupied with finding literally anything in the junkyard of Silex's office.

" God. He's disgusting. "

;Sol would hear Aria mutter to herself as she sits at Silex's desk - the chair softly squeaking as she does.

[Ms. Aria Stel (NOT Steele) @AStel_Chem]

when she deems them un-useful.

Though, she hits the jackpot, after about half an hour - a tattered and coffee stained notebook in her hands, pulled from the bottom drawer of the cabinet.

[Ms. Aria Stel (NOT Steele) @AStel_Chem]

disappeared to?

Aria decides to begin rifling through the drawers of the filing cabinet lodged in the back corner of the office, just beside the storage closet he has.

The Chemist goes through the drawers, pulling out files and stacking them up on the side.. putting them back

@Proto1721085 // I couldn't remove you as a follower when I redid the phoenix acc to be this mb lol

[Ms. Aria Stel (NOT Steele) @AStel_Chem]

; Aria rushes into the room, her heels discarded in the corridor and her cane abandoned alongside them - she stumbles over herself, reaching Ivan before anyone else can.. pushing the sounds of Silex's incessant yelling to the back of her mind as she ignores him pounding his fist+

[Ivan Shelanski @PovidoneIvan]

@LSCC_ONFIELD Ivan coughs relentlessly with each fit growing harsher and harsher until he finally spits out blood.

His hand drags weakly against the glass as he sinks down, leaving him slumped on the floor.

[Ms. Aria Stel (NOT Steele) @AStel_Chem]

@LSCC_ONFIELD @PovidoneIvan She glances back at Silex as her hand rests on the door.. surprised that he seems to be asleep.

But she doesn't truly buy it..

" Stay put.. I'll be back later to check on the pair of you later. "

...

" and I mean it, Silex. Don't smother him, do let him rest. "

[Ms. Aria Stel (NOT Steele) @AStel_Chem]

@LSCC_ONFIELD @PovidoneIvan ; Aria lingers for atleast another hour, thumbing through Ivan's notes - taking as much as she can in because she knows the journal will be confiscated much like Silex's cam-corder was.

Her gaze shifts to Silex, then Ivan before she stands.. wandering towards the door.

+

[Ms. Aria Stel (NOT Steele) @AStel_Chem]

@LSCC_ONFIELD @PovidoneIvan ; Aria just sighs, watching as Silex turns away. Admittedly, her gaze was a little harsh..

Her attention is then redirected to the journal resting in her lap.

She'll leave soon, she just wants to be sure that Silex won't try something stupid.

[Ms. Aria Stel (NOT Steele) @AStel_Chem]

@LSCC_ONFIELD @PovidoneIvan " If you had written it down, even if in a scrawl, it would really have saved us some time. "

..

" You'd be out of here. And we'd be able to help Mr. Shelanski a lot more efficiently. "

..

" I must say, cute joke in that card they found on your desk. Maybe he'll forgive you."

[Ms. Aria Stel (NOT Steele) @AStel_Chem]

@LSCC_ONFIELD @PovidoneIvan " If you approached him. "

...

" You could look elsewhere, he's not going to die if you take your eyes off of him. "

..

" And your office is a state, I do suggest you clean up when you're out of here. Those poor interns I sent to find evidence. "

[Ms. Aria Stel (NOT Steele) @AStel_Chem]

@PovidoneIvan @LSCC_ONFIELD ; Aria sits in the chair beside Ivan's bed.. his journal in her lap as she sits there - idlying thumbing through it.. occasionally glancing up to look at Silex.

" Are you really going to just lay there and stare? don't you know it's rude. "

[Ms. Aria Stel (NOT Steele) @AStel_Chem]

@LSCC_ONFIELD ; Aria sighs, wiping Silex's tears with her gloved hands.

" ...I know you're going to go over there when I leave. I advise you don't. I don't want him getting worse, or you. You die on my watch and I'll never hear the end of it. "

She then lets go of him, stepping away..

[Ms. Aria Stel (NOT Steele) @AStel_Chem]

@LSCC_ONFIELD She could snap his neck where he sits, the thought does cross her mind.. it would be deserved, perhaps he'd stop dragging other people down with him.

" ..He's stable, for now. Please, just don't fight me, Silex. Not again. Lay back down, you need it. "

[Ms. Aria Stel (NOT Steele) @AStel_Chem]

@LSCC_ONFIELD " Nothing smart to say? Hm, maybe you're feeling worse than I thought. "

...

" You certainly had a pair of lungs on you when I got in here. "

; Aria approaches him, hesitating before going to pull him into a hug.
