Riku shrugged. "It's alright. I don't think it'll cost extra. It's part of our job, protecting civilians. And...I don't really look like a cop. I'll just take the badge of and I can walk around and protect, maybe introduce myself as a friend of you or something? I don't...look how I used to, heh. Oh! But if you could look into demon curses and their cures? I don't...well..." might as well bite the bullet. "My name is Riku Lafayette. I might be disowned but it would still cause a huge stir if my family found out I was a giant rabbit now" he chuckled wanly. Riku nodded and turned towards the kiosk. "I'll be right back then"

Chat was about to say something about overtime or the like, but the officer threw a jawdropper at him. Riku Lafayette? As in Weiss' older brother? That was not good at all. He had no idea how he didn't recognize the guy, granted he was also a giant rabbit now so he tended to look a little different. Also, they were never particularly close when Riku did attend those events. His parents tended to push him more to Weiss, perhaps hoping to strengthen the family with future ties? How could he in good consciousness send in Weiss' brother to clean up his mess? This situation had went from okay-ish to well shit. Chat had no idea how it had just escalated so quickly, but it had.
"H-Heh, demons? I'm afraid don't but I know people. I can look into it." he said. "They, uh, won't hear about this from me. Promise."

Riku looked back at Chat and smiled. "Relax. You look like you swallowed a beach ball. Yes, I'm a Lafayette. But keep it on the down low, okay? As of right now, only the police force know about my...predicament. I'm banking on you keeping quiet" he winked at him. "Please let me know what you find? I'm afraid this might have a time limit for how many days before it's permanent" he went in to get the coffee and his own dandelion tea. Thankfully with it being the late shift there wasn't a long line and he was in and out in a few minutes. "Here you go. Coffee with creamer. Anything else you need help with or?"

"It's just the curse thing," Chat said dismissively. "Wouldn't want my good looks to be ruined if I get hit by a spell too."
It was so easy to dismiss really. People would buy it because as Chat he had a reputation as a huge flirt. An unsuccessful flirt, but a flirt all the same. But he wasn't about to go blabbing about Riku's predicament. He would start looking into counter spells or magical antidotes for him. He certainly wouldn't want anyone to get stuck in a form they weren't truly comfortable with. Chat smiled when he got his coffee, warm and just what the doctor ordered. He was running on little sleep as it was. The java juice would help him get through the next few hours. He would probably get a few hours of sleep before going through his day as Adrien.
"No, actually. You've been really helpful." Chat said. "Thank you."

Riku laughed at the little quip. "Hold your horses Cassanova. Nobody's getting hit with a curse .Nobody that hasn't already anyway" Riku practically beamed at him when he said he'd been a huge help. "Glad to be of assistance. I'll get this to Pitch pronto and we can go from there. Is there a place he can meet you if he needs to contact you?"

Chat just managed a grin. At least Riku was humoring him for now. But he did bring up a good point. How would Pitch get in contact with him? He fished a burner cell phone out of his jacket. He had intended to give it to Yang, but seeing as he was trying to avoid her for right now, that wasn't going to happen. He passed the phone over to Riku.
"Give him this. My number is the only one in the directory." he explained.

Riku took the phone along with everything else and nodded seriously. “I’ll make sure this gets to him Chat. You can put your faith in me” well, Riku hoped so anyway. He would feel just awful if he let anyone down. Even if it was a thief. He raised his cup of tea in farewell and turned to go back to the department. Something told him it'd be a very long night indeed.

Chat could say that Riku was eager to 'hop to it' but he really wasn't feeling the jokes right now. After the officer left, he scrubbed a gloved hand over his face. Wonderful. Just wonderful. He tried to go and protect Yang, but he got Weiss' brother involved. Not only that but the guy's partner was Aqua. The same person who had been partnered with Terrance Nobel - the guy who's bloody badge he, Sunshine and Shadow had found when they were trying to break into Vanitas' place. This just went from bad to worse.
(end)
