Right. Because you're a detective. [Dixon straddles that line between petty and affectionate when he says that, like he's teasing but also sincerely sour. He hasn't told anyone here that he's former police, although he figures a few have put it together, especially since his shield has faint engravings of a police badge.
He's been keeping it under wraps. It's only been six weeks since he got fired and he's still smarting. He thinks he might be for the rest of his life. Good thing he hasn't taken Shuichi seriously yet.]
Don't peek at my hand. I'll be right back.
[He lays his cards facedown and gets to his feet, something that isn't as graceful as it could be given the back wound. At least Trance's healing magic took away the heaviness of physical exhaustion; he's fine with the trade.
It takes him about half an hour, but he returns with a handful of books, not surprised but a little dismayed to see that Shuichi's still sitting there. He shuffles towards Shuichi and lays down the stack - a Sherlock book, an anthology of short stories, and four dimestore novels with names like Fowl Play: A Chicken-Coop Mystery and On What Grounds: A Coffeeshop Thriller.]

Sorry, that's all I could find.
