Not at all! Sometimes this happens. Why, one time, Iris found me draped halfway out the window! The body wants what the body wants, even if is a good rest. And I must say, sleeping on the floor last night was certainly not something that could produce a single moment of restful sleep.
[She's still not actually sure if she's being punked or not. All she can think of are the pixies of Lydha Lran and their propensity for pranks and playing games--so he can't actually be this inept, right? It's got to be some sort of game, like with the pixies.
But she's just not sure.]
And what is it that stopped you sleeping in a bed, pray tell? Your coin should have opened one of the rooms. [Yeah she's assuming that he's one of the newcomers here because he's simply too strange to not be--] Or you could have gone into any one of the houses to borrow a bed.
[he's not. still wearing his sexy nun clothes is he]
[Is there anything sure with the great Herlock Sholmes? Jury is out on that one!]
Oh, no, you misunderstand. You see. I did find my room. But my roommate is a sweet 11-year old girl. What was I to do, hog the bed for myself? Never! So I graciously gave her the bed, and deigned to sleep on the floor instead.
[No, he's actually wearing a loose collared shirt and pants, today with a long brown overcoat! Very normal.]
[thank the Twelve... but that also means he knows that other beds exist in other houses????]
And so you decided to become everybody else's problem by taking a nap in the door.
[alisaie if you'd walked away you could have forgotten about him by now]
You've yet to explain why you didn't simply just sleep somewhere else for the night. You seem to have found clothes easily enough-- [she's assuming everybody turned up in nun costumes, considering how many conversations she's had about them] --so clearly you found alternative housing. Or do you mean to nap here every morning, if sleeping on the floor isn't sufficiently restful?
[He's pulling out a pipe from his bag to put to his mouth. He's not smoking anything. He's just holding it. I hate him.]
I also don't mean to nap here. It is most uncomfortable, and even more so knowing people like you could trip over me at a whim! Worry not. I'll find an even better place for a quick nap that won't be in this general area!
"Am I any good...?" Is the sky blue, my dear madam? I have had countless of my exploits penned by my esteemed biographer down in the pages of Randst Magazine! Murders, missing persons, burglaries, political affairs...I have solved them all!
[the only reason he's not immediately dead is because he didn't try to muss her hair in addition to using her brother's name.
That won't save him entirely, however. Alisaie is glaring, both hands clenched into fists as she takes what is possibly a surprisingly menacing step forward for a girl who's only 4'9"????? Chill Alisaie damn girl]
I am not [somehow this word is audibly bolded and emphasized??? she's got Feelings] Alphinaud!
For someone who claims to be a world-famous detective, you've exceptionally poor awareness when it comes to other people! Or do you frequently encounter individuals that change their entire bearing over the course of a single night? I don't know how you can claim to have solved a single case if you cannot even keep track of the person in front of you!
[why does everyone think Alphinaud will start wandering around in dresses one day????]
What similarities? [Yes, yes, she knows they're identical twins, but...] If Alphinaud made enough of an impression on you that you can remember his name, you ought to have realized by now that he's much more willing to suffer idiots than I!

Most uncomfortable, and yet you got a "good few minutes of rest"?
[WERE YOU ACTUALLY SLEEPING OR JUST LYING THERE WITH YOUR EYES CLOSED]
I assume that the next place you find for a "quick nap" will be similarly in somebody else's way.

The name's Herlock Sholmes! I am the world-famous consulting detective, the greatest in the world! I presume you must know of me.

Good. And don't even think about stirring up trouble with anyone else.
[If someone comes up to her and calls her Alphinaud in the next couple days, she's 100% going to think it's because Sholmes did something.
But for now, she's going to stalk off, her red chocobo bobbing after her.]
