[ A stone that Cain remembers well — he's just not going to mention it. That kind of thing makes partnerships awkward, and why ruin what's off to a good start? So far, Mikazuki is exactly the kind of partner Cain likes best. He follows along, lets Cain do what he wants, and doesn't try to scold Cain for sticking his nose into things at all. ]
A message for our employer, if so. [ His response is wry; that it's a message, Cain has little doubt. It's just what sort of message this is meant to be. Did whoever it was know that these birds are Cree's messenger birds? That seems the most likely, but he can't discount that with all the other strange things going on in Olympia it could be something else. Improbable, but no possibility is worth discarding yet.
There's little to be found from the birds themselves, though, and Cain sets his stick aside and straightens. He takes a picture of the bodies, just in case, then tucks away his phone. ] But these birds aren't going to sing anymore. We need to find someone else who will.
