The success of the ball and the relative quiet of the past month had left Valdis with feelings of both joy and concern. Joy in that many enjoyed the ball. Concern in that the Cultists have been quiet since their last attack. She might have been relieved, if not for Alex’s concern over their lack of movements. She would need to put her ear to the ground and see what she could find.

The Genesis shard seemed to have been stabilized, for Valdis could handle it without the extreme effects she previously experienced. The gem didn’t pulse when she held the dagger, but perhaps that would come with time. For now, Valdis headed to the Healer’s Guild to indulge Raine’s curiosity over the blade. She knew the way to the woman’s office well by now, so she went straight there as opposed to waiting around for someone to direct her. She had plenty of time to wait if Raine was currently occupied.

The training of the Kirin was going well. Odin could now work alongside her Hound form without error, and the other three were coming along nicely as well. Getting her officers to work with the Kirin was a bit more of a challenge than the animals themselves, but she had found four riders in the force and they were working hard to bond with their Kirin.

Now, Valdis had settled for the day to complete some of her well loathed paperwork, as such, she would welcome any distractions.

One of those distractions just happens to be Sheena--who's carrying a small box with her. She had dropped off a supply of gels at the main desk and had requested to speak with Valdis. Coming up to the door, she knocked before opening it and poking her head in.

"Am I interrupting?"

Valdis looked up at the sound of the knock, relieved to have a distraction from the accursed paperwork. Maybe she should start giving her paperwork to Conan, he was smart enough to figure it out, right?

"No, not all all," she replied when Sheena poked her head in, "How can I help you?"

Sheena would definitely understand Valdis wanting that relief. After all, the ninja is playing hooky from her own paperwork right now. She'd delegate it, but why make someone else suffer?

"Good," she said, coming all the way and closing the door. Approaching the desk, she placed the small box upon its surface, trying not to cover some of that paperwork.

"Well, I just dropped off the first supply of gels, and while I was making them, couldn't help but think the Police Chief would need her own supply," she told her, pointing to the box.

Small as it was, it still held an impressive amount of the things--since they're about the size of what on Earth is known as a Life Saver.

Conan knocks on Valdis' office door, a thick stack of papers under his arm.

Valdis looked up at the sound of knocking, she supposed she should be glad that Conan had better manners than Sherlock.

"Come in."

She set the papers aside in preparation for what was hopefully good news.

He pushes the door open, and walks over to the desk.

"I brought the notes."

He hadn't been able to remember everything, but what he did have was enough to fill several pages.

"Excellent," Valdis replied, eyeing the stack of papers, "Anything in particular stand out?"

"From what I understood of it, it was interesting." Conan wasn't admitting to the extent of his chemical knowledge. "But it doesn't seem like he finished it."

"That's unfortunate."

Very unfortunate. And frustrating.

"I wish he hadn't left."

They could have used his knowledge to fix the mess he had left behind.

Conan would never admit to similar sentiments. It had been nice, having a fellow detective around.

"A chemist might be able to complete it."

"Then we'll need to find a chemist," Valdis replied, "Can I put you in charge of that?"

He nods. "Mmm, I'll look into it."

"Perfect. Thank you for your help." She gestured to the paperwork, "I've been a bit busy with other things."

"I can see that.Is something going on? Or is it just the usual?"

Valdis paused, then smiled sheepishly, "I might have ignored it for a week or two."

Someone say 'distraction'?

No? Well, tough tater tots, Alex is really, really good at distraction. He knocked on the door. "Valdis? Am I interrupting?"

Valdis looked up at the knock.

"Alex." She smiled, "No, not at all. Please come in."

He smiled and walked in the door. "How have you been? I haven't seen you since the Ball. Very well done, by the way."

"I've been well," She dipped her head and winked at him, "And thank you, I think it went over well."

Valdis shoved her paperwork aside and indicated the chair on the other side of the desk. "You can sit if you like."

"Thanks," he said, leaning on his cane, and went to sit down.

"I assume our little cowardly friends haven't shown their heads," he said. "Not sure if I like that."

"It's both bad and good," she replied, "The lack of attacks is good, but the lack of movement and chatter, well, it makes it hard for us to find them."

"I wish I could find something," he said grumpily. "The lack of attacks is, of course, good, but not hearing anything...I don't like it." He shook his head.

"Don't worry too much Alex, they'll slip up sooner or later."

She had doubts about that, but she could hope. It had, however, been far too long without a solid lead, so she understood his frustration.

He snorted. "Maybe their doomsday cult all drank some Flavor-Aid and decided to go meet their god in person."

Then he closed his eyes. "It's less worry and more that I don't like not knowing where my enemies are. Knowing is a habit that's served to keep me alive."

"I'm not sure this is about Malicant anymore, Alex," Valdis sighed, thinking back to her conversation with Devin. "He's dead. They must have some motive that we don't know about yet."

She looked at him, smiling, "Enemies, eh? Well, you have allies here to help keep you alive. The magic helps too."

"A dead and useless ideology hasn't ever stopped anyone with a desire to kill before," he muttered, but let it go.

When she said that, though, he smiled. "That's a definite plus."

"True, but understanding their motives will help us figure out their next move."

He didn't want to let it go, but she appreciated that he was trying, so her smile broadened.

"I appreciate the pluses, there aren't enough of them."

Valdis will be patrolling all the sectors throughout the month, feel free to run into her anywhere.

Danny had taken a break from his own patrols to generate a little ice. It helped out a little with the heat. In the few minutes he'd been working on it, he'd managed to stack a decent pile of ice bricks up on a park bench.

Her classes had resumed with their regular level of involvement so Valdis had been splitting her time between the KPD and the Dojo almost evenly. Hila seemed grumpy about this, preferring that Valdis avoid Bakura altogether. Valdis mostly ignored her on that matter. There wasn't anything she could do about the ka's concerns and unless Zorc manifested into something she could actually fight, there was little point in worrying. Her final class for the day had just finished, so Valdis went around tidying up, putting everything back in it's proper place before retrieving both Revelations and Genesis from where she had left them.
