[He is. Actually going to look for Rin following the gossip event, worried after seeing the mood he was in. Irene is flying ahead as a crow, as he calls out:]
[Rin is around! He's actually staring up at the ramparts, considering if he wants to climb them or not. But when Sholmes calls out to him he'll look over and give a little wave.]
Hey.
[None of his usual enthusiasm, but it's a friendly hello.]

Rin! Rin...! Are you around-!

Hey.
[None of his usual enthusiasm, but it's a friendly hello.]
no subject
[Looking up at the ramparts.]
What brings you here?
no subject
[He looks back up at the ramparts.]
You could get a good view of the city up there.
no subject
Do you want to go up there to take a look? Could be fun.
no subject
[A pause.]
It seems like a lot of effort.
no subject
[And he's just going to beeline to the bottom of the tower.]
no subject
There's stairs?
no subject
[Looking at him with some concern.]
Are you alright, my dear boy?
no subject
[He regards Sholmes with mild confusion.]
Why wouldn't I be?
no subject
[A tilt of the head.]
Is it because of...yesterday?
no subject
[He thinks back to Sunday. A troubled look crosses his face, but only for a moment. And the fact that it's just 'troubled' is something too.]
Yesterday sucked. But I think I'll be alright.
no subject
I...I see.
[...]
Rin, may I ask...what did you do...after all of that? Did you go see one of our masked benefactors?
no subject
[He's picking at a string on his shirt now. He seems disinterested in the conversation.]
no subject
[god. GOD]
What happened yesterday? Can you remind me? My memory can be ever so unreliable sometimes...
cw: talk of suicide
[He's looking away here, but once again he's only showing mild discomfort.]
Do we really gotta talk about this? We were both there, you saw what happened.
no subject
I do wish people here were...not so cruel with these curses, despite the intentions.
[And he looks back to Rin.]
Regardless...let's...get you a view. Come on.
[Gently patting his shoulder.]
no subject
[He's a little curious. What does Sholmes mean? He's been feeling alright today.
But he'll nod and follow Sholmes too, he's still curious to see the view from that high up.]
