[Shoka watches him place the torn-off piece back into her claws with a look that says, Are you serious? Then she hands it right back to him with one hand, after pulling the larger piece under her disguise with her other.]
After you had your grubby little paws all over it? Hard pass. [That's just an excuse, really. More importantly:] Anyway, you've got to try it. High-key one of the best things the Bay has to offer.
[But she guesses she'll eat his finder's fee too if he really insists. They can always grab victory malasadas after this is all wrapped up.
Either way, then it's time for investigation talk.]
Around town, huh? Way to narrow it down.
[It's not Tokyo-sized, at least, but Bottlecap Bay still isn't exactly small to them, after all. Even so...]
... Still a better actual lead than I got, though... But I did manage to get more of a description of the guy, I guess. They don't just have two heads—they have two heads that have it out for each other. Word around town is they're a regular at the clinic 'cause they're always beating themselves up—literally. [She snorts. It sounded messed up to her—and almost like Zweilous themself could have been a suspect in their own disappearance—but the Pokémon who told her this part acted like it was perfectly normal and mostly unconcerning for a Zweilous. Pokémon are so weird.] They're also a Dragon-type with black fur, so... we'll be looking for clawed footprints, if we can actually find any. And if we're lucky, maybe they shed on something, hah.
[She pauses there, searching her memory for a moment before concluding:]
That's about it, though. There was... one other thing I heard, but no clue if it even means anything.
