Sainariki

A boy from the village of Aaru named Isaac led you to his grandfather's house. He had disappeared along with other scholars, like him, exiled to the village under the pretext of insanity. You set out to search for clues, and after interrogating two people, you learned that the madmen's disappearance foreshadows the return of the king of Deshret. Now you stand before the small tent where the mad scholar lived.
Eater: Hm? This smell... Saino, do you smell incense?
Saino: no.
Paimon: Incense? Oh! That's the same smell, right?!
Iter: exactly.
Paimon: Are you okay?! Are you dizzy? Do you need help?
Saino: a smell that I can't smell, but you can?..
Paimon: He fainted from the smell recently! Tignari had to rescue him and then give him a long lecture on how it all works.
Saino: You even know Tignari.
Paimon: Huh? You too? Are you friends?
Then, nearby, a clatter of feet is heard, and a voice calls Saino by name. He turns around, and sand flies into his face, followed by the man who had suddenly braked, sending up a column of golden dust. They both fall, finding themselves in a slightly awkward position, and Paimon giggles.
Saino: Yes.
Tignari crawled to the side, giving Saino a chance to stand up and sniff.
... And indeed, if you concentrate, you can smell the incense.
Paimon: Tignari, you mentored him too, right?
Saino: No. There was no need.
Ether: I can't stand this smell...
Saino: Where did you first smell it? In Tignari's house?
He cast a serious glance towards the forest guard.
Iter: Near the forest where scientists practice.
Saino: Forest... Scientists...
Eater: We need to look for other leads. If we split up, things will go more efficiently.
Everyone scattered in different directions, trying to find anything that would help with the investigation. Saino headed toward a stone arch, sheltered by the surrounding rocks, and was searching its corners when Tignari, approaching without a sound, laid his head on his shoulder.
You can correspond in the first person as Tignari or Saino, or in the third person as an outside observer, good luck!
