"I was having the time of my life, I tell you. The ball was splendid...wonderful music, pretty ladies...but I guess you're a bit young for that." he said as his eyes drifted away,reminiscing. After a short fake cough he focused back at the matter at hand. "I was on the dance floor,dancing with a wonderful lady. I consider myself lucky I wasn't crushed as well..."

"Interesting" Xel muttered, writing down all of that in his notepad "And this question may seem stupid but, did you do the murder?" Seeing as he was on the dance floor made him wonder if he triggered it, but didn't realise how fast the chandelier would drop.

After a short pause from Xel's question,Alcott chuckled a bit,then lifted his face up so their eyes meet again. "I guess you really are a kid after all...I doubt anyone sane enough would admit they commited the murder but no,I did not. I didn't mind Madame English's presence in general." he calmly responded. "Don't lose hope,you're definitely on the right track! You'll make Mister Westling proud." he said as he somewhat aggressively yet jokingly rubbed Xel's hair.

His grip tightened slightly around the base of the chair, and Amane's smile flickered for a moment. "I...I know what you mean. About escaping your parents through reading." He fell silent for a moment. And then with a sharp toss of his head, he leaned closer to Ophelia once more. "How old are you, if you don't mind my asking? I may be short, but I'm actually-"

A lofty voice and the returning scent of smoke interrupted Amane, who frowned a bit as he stood up. "I suppose it's my turn to be grilled," the teen said, taking a second to don his hat and dust his waistcoat. "Can't say I'm looking forward to it, but oh well, might as well just get it done." He gave Ophelia a short bow, allowing his playful smirk to appear once more. "Don't worry," Amane added with a quick wink before he turned away, "I'll be back soon."

Muffled steps scattering a thin layer of dust, the young man opened the door and shut it softly, finding himself face to face with the older detective from earlier, who, from his expression, seemed to be taking personal offense from a book that he was rifling through as Amane walked in. "Hello. I was told it's my turn. I'm Amane Piedmont, eighteen, not related to the late Madame English by blood," he rattled off as he sat down, making sure to keep a good posture and solid eye contact with the detective.

" Hello. I'm Detective Westling and, as you already know, I'm working Madame English's case." He shook the boy's hand and sat down. " As you know, Madame English was crushed by a fallen chandelier. Now, Do you know of anyone that might've been out to kill Madame English?" He asked as he placed a book and the cloth on the table, " Do you know who these might've belonged to?"

She watched him go without a word, before returning to her book. She was rather curious about him. What did he mean by knowing about escaping parents? Did he go through the same thing that she did? Honestly, Ophelia wanted him to return soon so they could continue talking. She turned a page slowly, her foot tapping rythmitically on the floor.

After a firm handshake, Amane took in the detective's questions one by one. Westling was a well-known name among the community, he knew, so at the very least, this man wasn't going to be completely incompetent. He felt that it would actually be worth his time to answer as best he could. "I'm sure that Madame English had her enemies and her friends, as we all do. I was personally not very connected with her in either way; I merely heard about her talents by word of mouth and decided I might as well go see it for myself." He paused, mentally turning over the portraits of everyone he'd seen in the room in his mind. "It really could have been anyone, in my opinion. She was a strong presence, from what I'd seen, so the motive could range from simple jealousy of her abilities to a personal grudge." Amane ran a finger quietly over the cloth. "A bit of an unusual texture, isn't it? I don't really know anything about clothes," the teen said with a shrug, "but certainly none of my outfits are made of whatever this is."

"The book looks pretty old," Amane continued, shifting his gaze to the novel. He raised an eyebrow. ""How to Get Away with Murder?" I can see why you'd want to find the owner," he said with a slight chuckle. "It's not a book I've ever owned, I can tell you that." The young man flipped through the book briefly. "Looks like a good read. But as far as I can tell, I think it's been in this room for a while. And it looks very well taken care of, if that means anything." Amane placed the book back down on the table and leaned back. "Honestly, my guess is as good as yours at this point."

" Thank you for that part. Now, Do you know the people that attended the event? Anyone that might've been able to cut the chandelier?" Shawn asked. He knew he was going nowhere. So far the best suspect was the husband. He needed more information and fast. He stood up and looked out the door. He quickly shut it. " We don't want anyone eveesdropping."

"I'll take whatever information I can get" Xel started, looking around the room "I promise I'll do my best." With that he approached the man with the cane "I'd like to ask some quick questions"

Alcott leaned back,still sitting, and tried to peek out the window checking to see if Reyna was in the nearby vicinity. He sighed, returning to his original position so as not to fall and continued to observe the young detective. He didn't really know much about the books the other people were talking about,but he enjoyed seeing them happy.

With a slight nod in response to the detective's thanks, Amane again listened to Westling's questions. "I don't personally know anyone. Like I said, I'm kind of a stranger in these circles." He thought for a moment, quietly fiddling with the collars of his sleeves. "I suppose anyone who knew the building well enough would have been able to cut the chandelier. Or anyone smart enough to find a way up there on their own. They'd have to be taller than me, though," Amane added with a wry grin. "Can you imagine a shrimp like me being able to get all the way up there, what with the lack of climbing routes?" The teen tossed his head lightly, letting out a small laugh. "All jokes aside, I think it would have to be someone who was wearing something compact. Whether they changed in the middle of the ball or not, clothing would be an important factor - it would be borderline dangerous to risk long coattails or skirts getting caught on something."

Amane gave the scrap of fabric on the desk a last glance before standing. "If that's all you have to ask, then that's really all the information I have." He nodded towards the cloth. "I think that could be a lead, if you can figure out who it belonged to or what piece of clothing it belonged to, but that's my only idea."

" Thank you for that information. You are excused from the room. Do send someone in after you leave." Shawn said. He picked up the book and cloth. He opened the door for the young man and called out to the room. " Xel! Join me in the Interrogation room please." He closed the door behind the teen and proceeded to inspect the clothing on the table.

Oakley ran her finger down the binding of a book. "I'm surprised this is still here..." it was a book on killers. "Well, might as well take my chances." she sits down in a comfortable looking chair and opens the book.

About an hour later she shuts it. "Wow that was... graphic." she mutters. She stares at the shelf on her left. "So many interesting books." she thinks. Another one catches her eye. "This looks like it's been recently opened." she pulled it from it's cockeyed resting place on top the other books. "Human Biology and the study of wounds."

"Yikes, I bet that would be an interesting read for a killer. I'd better take them in whenever I get interrogated." she thinks, grabbing both books.

With a short bow, Amane turned on his heel and exited. He felt a bit bad about not being much help, but then again, he really was a stranger to everyone present. It wasn't his fault that he didn't really have any ideas; then again, it could be pretty advantageous to have a completely unbiased person in the group. Picking a target, the young man approached a girl who looked a bit younger than him, a lady with strikingly white hair and a bored expression. As he approached, he noticed that she was flipping through several novels. Was everyone here a bookworm? "Excuse me, miss. It's your turn to be interrogated," Amane said, tapping the girl on the shoulder. Waiting in case she responded, he scanned the room quickly and smiled to see Ophelia still in her little corner, face as blank as ever. "The detective is waiting in that room over there," he added, gesturing to the door he had just walked through. Turning his gaze back to the white-haired girl, he narrowed his eyes as he spotted the title of the book she was currently holding. "Is...that your book? A bit graphic, no?"

Oakley nodded. "Not my kind of book though. I really do prefer history books..." she said with a shrug. Oakley stands up slowly, stretching. "Thank you." she says, walking to the interrogation room with the two books she had found in her hand.

Amane watched her go, books in hand. Either this girl was lying about owning the books, or, more likely, the owner of this place was pretty morbid. He stared for another moment, and then shrugged. Well, it was the detective's job to figure that out, not his. Instead, he trotted back over to the person he'd left abruptly a few minutes prior. "My apologies for having to duck out so rudely, Ophelia," Amane said, once again sitting next to the girl, although noticeably closer and more at ease than before. A click-clack, click-clack caught his attention, and the teen noticed that his acquaintance was tapping the floor, her shoes beating out a rhythm independent of her conscious control. He smiled, amused. "What, were you that anxious to see me again? How sweet," he added, trying in vain to keep the mischief out of his tone. How easy would it be to mess with Ophelia - and consequently, how fun?

Ophelia sighed, turning a page. "Considering you were the one who left so suddenly, not even giving me time to answer your question, I would think that out of politeness I would want you to return so that the conversation, wether it draw on or come to a close with that, would not be so suddenly innterupted. So, to answer your question from ealier, I'm 17. Now, is there anything else you wished to ask of me or tell me? I belive that's how conversations work." She smirked a little, regconizing the struggle in his voice.

Amane's smile, though slightly sheepish now, only grew as Ophelia delivered a sassy reply. "Excuses, excuses," he hummed, pleased that she wasn't quite as straight-laced as she first appeared. "As I was saying, I might be short, but I'm actually eighteen. And since you asked," the teen continued, "I am a bit curious as to why you're here. I'm a suspect, of course, but I don't recall seeing you at the party." Amane gave Ophelia a slight smirk of his own. "I mean, I'm quite certain I'd have introduced myself sooner, if given the chance," he said smoothly, wondering what she'd derive from that comment.

Ophelia raised an eyebrow at his last sentence. She knew that there were different ways that one could intepret what he had just said, but she chose to simply ignore it for now. Looking back at her book, she spoke. "I was there, yes, but, I'm not terribly fond of parties. My grandmother insisted that I come, saying that it would reflect poorly on her image of being the only member of our family that was not completley cutting ties with my aunt after she married, thinking that attending would bring her back to the family. A ridicolus notion of a old woman trapped in the past, but because of her, I was suspected for killing her because she abandoned us. But as I explained to the detective, I had little to no conncetion with my aunt, meaning that I would never want to kill her."

Because she "abandoned us"? Amane turned her words over in his head. It seemed that this girl was very detached not only from her parents, but from her whole family; she didn't sound fond of the grandmother, even. "Not fond of parties, hm? I never would have guessed," he said a bit dryly, recalling that she'd been holed up in her own little corner with her nose in a book rather than socializing. Not that hiding behind a curtain for a couple of hours was particularly outgoing, either, he supposed. "Sounds pretty silly, thinking that just going to a ball will solve any big problems like that. I can relate to being a pretty poor suspect. I mean," he said, eyebrows furrowing slightly, "I don't have any connection to Madame English, either. I was just curious about her talent, and honestly, I just like dancing." Amane shrugged. "I guess we can at least provide some common sense in the case, if nothing else." Turning to face her, the teen propped his chin on his hand. "Well, don't you have any questions for me? You can't have been impatiently waiting for me to return just to go through a second interrogation."
