Nye gestures to Siana and smiles as she puts forward her question. "My dear, I'm afraid even art and games have to have touch of reality in them so people can relate. But to actually answer the question, the murder is real in that it occurred I'm afraid but the entertainer haven't committed it. Just something they've been inspired as it has been explained to me. You'll have to ask them about the details though as I'm not privy of them."

Jim considers this. He doesn’t have many people he can ask about this. And this is the exact kind of thing Sticks has left behind quite pointedly.
He does have one thought.
”Are there any other fey in the city that know him? Who might help me?” he asks.
"Eh? Leer Eye? Don't think there be anyone that would know him around here. But then again we barely know anyon' around here." The canine remarks.
"You could always ask the lion, Jim. You know him already. But there's also that serpent the princess just met-"
"But she don't know ol' Leer Eye." The bird is quick to point out.
But as the three argue, Jim can feel something against his leg. As he looks down he can see what at first glance is yet another canine skeleton that has started to dry hump his leg in an awkward manner. However, as its much smaller than most canines he might realize that this is in fact the animated remains of a hare or rabbit.
The creature freezes the moment he looks down and starts to back away. "So s-orry- I couldn't-"
The other skeletal animals haven't failed to spot this incident and suddenly there's a storm of angry noises aimed at the hare. The bird swooping down from Jim's shoulder just to knock it over. "Disgusting! Yer' as bad as th' satyrs!" It accuses while many of the other skeletons start to form a circle around the two. Seemingly hoping to get in a hit or two against the hare.
The canine and the moose looks on with distaste. But while they aren't joining the attack they aren't stopping it either. "I apologize, Jim. That one is the black sheep of our congregation. It cannot control itself." The moose remarks with a shake of its head.
Jim might have noticed that the skeletal hare did look a bit different from the others. It was more dirty and cracked and considering how the other animals seems to be treating it that isn't really a surprise.
