Francis grinned. "Don't matter, I haven't gotten a thing I wished for yet, why would it change now?"
He crossed a foot over the other to lightly tap the bridge with a bare toe and waved at the detective casually. "Yeah. That's the place. Didn't really plan to go back myself after my last dealing. But then I come in to take a little charity for myself and I see the new guy,, Father Brennan. Quite nice on the eyes, and he pities me and offers me a bed and food if I keep the church looking nice. Of course I take it. He let's me come in for lunch and this is where it gets weird.."
He looks around suspiciously before holding up a hand to whisper though it was more than loud enough for Aslan to hear.
"He's been taken care of by their housekeeper, Higgins, so I offer to help cook. We have a nice little chat but he clearly is curious about the townspeople. So I start telling him some rumors and the like and he us very interested. Well,, I want a little show I did a good job. You know, pat on the head, a coin, even a gulp of wine would do. He's immediately on guard and acts offended I even want payment for information. Acts like he has no interest in it any more, even almost stabs me with a knife, it was a good thing I had an onion in hand. "
He shook his head more and folded his arms. "And that ain't all, before that me and him was getting along alright, he even treated me nicely after I mentioned what caused my woes. As if it's my fault men are more what get me going than women, ya know? Anyway... he tells me if I gave him good information. He'd do anything for me. Literally said those words. I jokingly tell him not to say that or I'd ask for.." Francis made a lewd gesture with his hand. "And he pretends he has no clue what I meant. And then shortly after acts like he's too good to talk to me. I swear. I think he's off. I still have been sleeping there, but I haven't seen a hair of either priest. Don't know what they get up to."
