[Talk - Siegfried]

I’d seen Siegfried take a brief survey of the bodies, but now he stood against the wall, looking at… the bottom of his shoes?

Tim smiles weakly.
Timaeus
What are you doing, Siegfried? Did you step in something–
Siegfried huffs.
Siegfried
Ja? You did, also. That puddle, it is… Look.

He slipped off one of his shoes with a grumble and held it in my face. They were faint, but definitely there– light stains had started to form in the leather of his shiny brown dress shoes.

Now that I looked down, I saw a few spots on my sneakers, too. Darn.

Siegfried huffs.
Siegfried
Absolutely ruined. But, it is of little importance now…
Siegfried sighs.
Siegfried
Far greater things have been lost today.
Tim sighs.
Timaeus
Yeah.

He sighed and glanced towards Gugalanna’s lifeless body.

Siegfried sighs.
Siegfried
I will not lie to you– I did not much like her. But, I would not wish such a fate on anyone. You have my word that I did not leave my room last night… That is all I know. Es tut mir lied.
Tim thinks.
Timaeus
It’s alright… But do you know what could have caused these stains?
Siegfried looks confused.
Siegfried
…Can you not smell? It is bleach, Herr Woodworth.

In my defense, I actually don’t have a very good sense of smell, nor was I familiar with that particular chemical scent. But something had smelled off ever since I entered the room…

Tim thinks.
Timaeus
Bleach, okay. Wonder where the bottle is, then…?
