Feldmann merely nodded, though the answer was on somewhat of a tangent, and looked at the woman. "I have asked all I wish to for now." She smiled at Kasiya, but offered no sign of being distracted by any unwarranted urges. "I am Doctor Junkers, I would like to ask you some very simple questions. Some of them may seem unusual, but please just answer them as they come." "She's the shrink, in case it isn't obvious. From what I've seen, she'll look for any excuse to qualify you as sane so they can charge you with the full extent of the law. If there's a time to act crazy, it's now."

Kasiya nods to Anton, then concentrates on the Doctor, wondering if there's any leverage to be gained, of if things have gone too far.
Addressing the doctor, he attempts to maintain the polite tone he'd had for the guards and tried to keep for the detectives. "Alright. Why?"
He keeps eye contact and lets the animal attraction keep working.

"Because I am interested." She smiled again, and Kasiya could not make out any sign of deception in her. After the moment's pause, she begins a series of questions, pausing for Kasiya's response each time, and paying him rapt attention. The two detectives were quiet and watchful. "Do you know where you are?"
"What is the date?
"What is the year?"
"What is your name?"
"What were you attempting to leave Berlin for?"
"What is your age?"
"What year were you born in?"
"Where is Martin?"
"What is your favourite colour?"
"How do you know Martin?"
"How do you know Aleksi?"
((I'm just running off all the questions at once, or this'll turn into a mass of one-liners, but she pauses each time I'll edit if kasiya does something crazy in mid-questioning))

Kasiya doesn't rush in answering, giving each one a couple of seconds thought, but not trying to bluff or lie. Simplicity as always was the key element of his replies.
"Do you know where you are?" "Yes."
"What is the date? "I don't know."
"What is the year?" "I don't know."
"What is your name?" "You know that."
"What were you attempting to leave Berlin for?" "It's a bad place."
"What is your age?" "I don't really think about it."
"What year were you born in?" "I don't know."
"Where is Martin?" He smiles, showing evident satisfaction and faith in the Cub: "Safe." Safer than here.
"What is your favourite colour?" "What?"
"How do you know Martin?" "A friend."
"How do you know Aleksi?" "A friend."

Doctor Junkers continued after a lengthy pause, filled only with the scritching of her pencil against her notepad. Kasiya was no more able to occlude the truth than outright lie, so he stumbled over the misleading explanation for trying to leave Berlin. None of the trio seemed to notice, however. "Which friend did you meet Martin through?"
"Which friend did you meet Aleksi through?"
"Where were you born?"
"What is your nationality?"
"What do you dislike about Berlin?"
"Where do you live?"
"What do you do for a living?"
"Why do you carry a bone around with you?"

"Which friend did you meet Martin through?" "No, he is a friend."
"Which friend did you meet Aleksi through?" "Him too."
"Where were you born?" "Away from here, in the countryside." He smiles, and his mind travels back to a happier place, simple and clean.
"What is your nationality?" "I don't worry about things like that."
"What do you dislike about Berlin?" "It smells. Water tastes dead and food tastes of grease. It's full of bad people. Is that enough?"
Kasiya evidently has a long list.
"Where do you live?" "Wherever I want to."
"What do you do for a living?" The question stumps Kasiya a little. He'd only just been talking to Danny about jobs and money that week, but he still didn't really do anything in the human world to make a living. He did, however have a trade in the Garou world, it just needed putting in a way the woman would understand:
"I talk to the dead."
"Why do you carry a bone around with you?" Another tricky question, and he could only try to answer in such a way that they'd understand. Was this how Yvonne felt talking to him, having to abandon entire concepts as incommunicable?
"It is important. For my Faith."
Faith. That was the right word, yes? Religion too, but that word didn't seem right.

Doctor Junkers frowned at the misunderstanding. "I am sorry, I must of been unclear. What I mean is, how did you come to meet Martin and Aleksi and become their friend?" The questioning seemed to be coming to an end. "You're doing a good job of making yourself sound like a nutcase."

"Thanks. Amazing how they completely ignore your presence though. Like they don't want to know."
Anton's breaking of a long silence distracts Kasiya though, and he frowns and has to concentrate to catch Doctor Junkers' last question.
"Oh. They're... like family."

Doctor Junkers paid close attention as Kasiya talked to open air, but didn't remark on it. "So have you known the two of them for a long time? How did you first meet them?" "It's not like they're actively ignoring me. They can't see me, or hear me. I know, I've tried. They're just ignoring the fact that you're talking to something that isn't there."

Kasiya can't think of any simple unrevealing answers to make, and thus attempts to make the most inoffensive refusal he can. Just like when he passes through another wolf packs territory. Carefully.
"I'm sorry. That's private. I can't talk about it."
He really can't.

"I'm not sure you understand your situation Mister Richter. As it stands at this point, you have admitted to commiting a number of crimes. I am only trying to help you, and I can not do that if you withhold information." Doctor Junkers looked across at the two detectives. "If you prefer I can ask the detectives to leave so we can speak privately."

The doctor was more right than she knew. Kasiya had no comprehension that crossing the wall was a crime per se. He just knew it annoyed the humans. Crimes were murder, rape and theft. Not going where he needed to.
Why not?
At best he was killing time until the Septs Garou were alerted to his predicament, at worst, he still had to find some leverage.
"Please."

It seemed like the first thing to irk Detective Feldmann, but he didn't voice an objection as Doctor Junkers nodded at him. "Interview suspend at twelve twenty-four. We will be back in five minutes." Was all he said, before standing and motioning for his co-worker to follow. The two went outside and closed the door, and the room fell silent for a moment before Doctor Junkers continued. "If it's possible, could you please explain how you came to meet Martin and Aleksi, and how long you have known them for?"

Shaking his head, kasiya lets some of the confusion that he'd been forcing down show.
"I don't understand. What have I done that's wrong?"
He might get a more comprehensible and less accusatory answer from the doctor than he'd had from the detectives.

Doctor Junkers frowned at his request. "I'm sorry, I'm not sure I am able to answer that since they have not formally charged you. I am not a police officer, I am here as an advisor to them." Anton filled the void. "Well... going on what I've heard here so far. You didn't report deaths, you..." Unaware of Anton, Doctor Junker spoke at the same time as he did. Anton paused to let her speak. "I am only here to assess you, and at this moment give you the opportunity to explain yourself on confidence. So, if you could please answer my question?" "You interfered with a crime scene, you improperly disposed of human remains, and you're protecting a murderer. Oh, and you crossed the border without using a checkpoint, and I'm pretty sure your identification papers are fake. They probably suspect you raped and killed the children yourself, because you've offered no good explanation of why you're protecting the murderer."
