"Well sorry, then." He keeps his tone light, shrugs it off. "Investigation's a thankless job, I know that better than most. It's the same I'd do for anybody working in the field with me." He pushes off from the table he's been leaning on.

"You got pictures? I'm probably going to split before Retrospec decides we're not amusing any more and they kick us out." A good point to disengage, let Dante think over what he's said. Togusa's different when it comes to fighting, but the parts he's okay with Dante helping with, he'll try to encourage.

"Hang on." Dante pulls his phone back out, taking a few pictures of the room for record. A few of the room at large, some closer shots of Maurice's research and the various items around... he doubts they'll be able to get back into this room again or, if they do, that it'll have the same items. They need to get as much detail as they can right now.

But after a few minutes, he'll straighten back up, nodding toward Togusa. "All right. Let's get out of here."

They've gotten some good information here, but it's definitely time to take a step back before he says something he might regret later.

There's really not anything more to be said, Togusa will continue to back off. "Some time you're going to have to explain how the hell you snuck up on me," Togusa comments, but it's with a smile. He heads down the stairs.

"I have to get back, but I get the feeling we're going to find out what this was for sooner rather than later." He nods casually to Dante. Don't make too big of a deal about it. But he'll keep an ear out for whenever Dante wants to follow up on this.

There's a flicker of Dante's usual smirk as he follows Togusa toward the stairs. "I don't know about that. I may just have to leave you guessing."

He's just... going to wait a couple moments to make sure that the stairs aren't going to turn into a slide on Togusa before he follows after him, suspicious of them the entire time--he's not going to be caught twice by that!

Once they're outside of the building, Dante gives a flippant wave. "Later, Togusa."
