Ming was a familiar name. Heliodora had mentioned him. Based on the way she had brought him up, this Ming attempted to do something to Heliodora, and ended up dying for it.

"I see... I am sorry to hear that," he stated, furrowing his brow, "There are a number of things revolving those three that cannot be easily explained. I am trying to get to the bottom of it."

He glanced over at Nasir and Juniper. Between them and the band, he had options as to where to go from here. But most likely he was going to need to tread lightly around the subject with those more familiar with them.

"Thank you for asking our questions, Algernon. Every bit helps us further along with this mystery. Enjoy the concert in the meantime."

"I'm alright-" She rubbed her forehead and nodded to Juniper, but it seemed whatever bothered her was lingering.

"Everything's a little dangerous is all," Leila cut her eyes to Vivien a moment. "The cliffs by the beach aren't really monitored as much as the woods and even those.. there's been fires."

She dropped a hand onto Vivien's head affectionately and smoothed her hair, as adults were oft to do to kids.

"I'm not sure," That uneasiness still there in her eyes and the movements of Leila's body, "That today is a good day for you to go there Viv.."

The elder Leila stole another glance at her younger self. It was trickier than she wanted to admit to read her: twenty years of difference, and being most familiar with mirror images of herself, would do that, time shenanigans nonwithstanding. There was something recognizable in her discomfort though, and even though Eve was better at talking, Leila decided to follow through on the impulse to help.

"Got a migraine?" she asked, slipping into the friendly tone she used for students. "Or is there something on your mind?"

"The cliffs?" Cam looked to Ves and gave it a thought.

"I know the kids like to climb them. My Viv seems to like them," He smiled a bit at the girl surrounded by women.

"Probably having secret meetings," Finn gruffly coughed off to the side, in his ever present grump.

Cam's brows rose a moment in visual cue of apology, "I think it's just a bit of a hang out place."

"Oh I," her smile seemed to purse looking at the other Leila, "just haven't felt very well today. I probably wouldn't have come out if not for Vivien.."

Shun nodded to Alg. It was something he had to keep in mind as he spoke with the others. He had an interesting start, to say in the least. It was just going to be tricky in how to capitalize on that. Algernon might like mysteries, but that didn't mean the rest did as well.

"Well if you hear anything else, or remember any other notable details, please let me know later," he nodded. After looking towards Juniper, he considered his options. He glanced to the others in the immediate aream then went on and approached her.

"Is everything alright ma'am?" he asked. She seemed... upset. By something.

"It's 'cause of the magic, isn't it," says Vivien, pouting. "I'm not a communist. Mama says I can't have politics until I'm older. But I'm probably more of a socialist anyway." She shrugs and noms on her lemon bar. "I can show you the cliffs, Miz Jones! I know them the best. There's a secret spot too, but I'm not supposed to talk about it--Daddy, can I go to the cliffs with Miz Jones?"

Which is exactly what she's doing. Vivien picks up Professor Crab once her lemon bar is the thing of the past. "I'm gonna drop him down Professor Algernon's shirt," she decides.

Professor Crab is too big to fit down anyone's shirt.

Juniper Wilcox | 25/25 (P+1) | South Bonfire

America had gotten to the next question that Juniper wanted to ask. She nodded in agreement with the red head. Seeing the cliffs felt like a step in the direction they needed to go. Perhaps they'd find something of interest there that could help them? After all, she remembered Liam mentioning the cliffs at the Seance. Not that she could mention that aloud right now.

"I'll join you, if it's alright? We can make it a right 'ol party. The more people there are the less likely any trouble will occur, right?" She smiled at the group. "We can keep an eye on each other. And, Vivien gets to go while being supervised, since she was intent on going in the first place. Right?" She looked at the little girl and the crab she held in her hands. Juniper was amazed that the thing hadn't managed to gain purchase on the hands holding it, yet.

She had to admit, she appreciated the girls mischievous side even though it was probably best to curtail the prank. "Hm, I don't know if he'll fit." She commented to Viven. "Perhaps letting him go in the ocean would be better? Then we can head off to the cliffs right away. Plus, you wouldn't want Professor Crab to possibly get hurt would you?"
