Rhyme glared at God's back now that he was temporarily safe from getting punched. He shook his head and sighed. He had an iron fist on that angel, it seemed like, while Rhyme was just trying to pry apart God's fingers to get at the angel.
He realized how stupid his inner monologue sounded when a pirate passed in front of him. There was something familiar about the way the pirate walked, and the lack of an apology gave Rhyme a pretty good idea of who it was. Smirking, he tapped Kumair's arm to get his attention.
"What're you doing here?" he asked, his cap titled at an odd angle.

Kumair looked at Rhyme, recognition flashing across his face. "I could ask you the same thing.. Hitler," he replied. "What do you think I'm doing?"

Rhyme chewed his lip in thought, and tilted his head so that his cap was at a normal angle.
"I think you're looking for a good time," he replied, smirking and knowing that wasn't the right answer, "I'm just doing some recon, while having a good time, Captain Nobeard."

"Not all pirates have facial hair," Kumair said crossly. "And just because most men don't know how to keep their pants on at a party, doesn't mean I don't."

Rhyme frowned, and self-consciously tightened his belt. "I'm pretty sure it's a requirement to be a male pirate, you need some sort of facial hair, even if it's just stubble. Anyway, you still haven't answered my question of what you're doing here."

"Why do you care?" Kumair spat.

Rhyme stepped back. "Sorry I asked, Captain Sensitive." He sighed, and held his hands up in defeat. "I was just wondering. Though it must be something pretty personal if you're so snappy."

Kumair clenched his jaw. He wasn't used to being around people and it showed. He needed to act happier or someone would realize he wasn't drugged. He wasn't about to admit that he was wrong for snapping, though. Besides, it is personal.. Kumair just shrugged. "Just looking for someone."

Rhyme straightened his cap as he watched Kumair's face, trying to memorize the fine details in case he would be useful in the future.
"Well, good luck finding that someone," he said honestly, "Might I ask who it is? I'm good at finding people. Or drawing them out."

"I don't think she's here. I don't know which city she lives in," Kumair replied. Or even if she's alive... "And if she is here, I don't want her to know I am..."

"You don't want her to know who you are, but you're still searching for her like a lovesick puppy." Rhyme made a :/ face. "Seems counter-intuitive, almost... regardless of where she may be, good luck finding her, Cap'n."

Kumair shrugged. "I want to make sure she's alright, but I'd rather she doesn't know I'm around until we can get her off the drug." He nodded to Rhyme. "I hope it helps."

Rhyme scoffed. "Good luck getting anybody off that crack. Especially around here." He gestured to the entirety of the party, and gave a deep sigh. "Look at them. All a bunch of morons. Happy morons, but morons nonetheless."

"I didn't say I had to get her off now. But if I can find her, then I can get her off slowly... Or just take her in a week before she gets her next dose," Kumair replied. "It's not like I can't overpower a girl my age."

"You'd be surprised how strong some girls are," sighed Rhyme. He took off his cap and ran his hand through his hair. "I hope you find her. One more person off that is one more person on our side."
