[ does it count as losing the librarian's rock if one of the spirits pinched it from him? out of all the meagre possessions he owns in beacon, it's that damn rock that has his temper quietly flaring. he'd rip the entire town apart for it if it meant he didn't end up on the wrong side of the postmaster general and the librarian.
thankfully, someone far more level-headed stepped in to unknowingly (or perhaps knowingly) prevent ultimate town destruction. inspector javert is as good of a detective as he had promised. ]
Does it have the smiley face on it?
[ it was a very particular rock! describing the rock to javert yesterday had only proven kol should've taken up a career in rock things.
it's mikaelson paranoia™ at it's best. of course he found it. javert is meticulous. ]
I can't believe you've actually found it. Don't tell me it was amongst other rocks.
( This has got to be one of the most bizarre thefts the inspector has ever investigated. A rock with a smiley face on it? Who would take such a thing? One of the spirits, apparently, and what they had done with it was even more odd. It's no small wonder Kol wasn't able to find it. )
I discovered it in the Invincible's larder, hidden among a bag of rice. I don't know if someone placed it there deliberately, or if it simply fell in.
( Either way, he found it. That should put Kol in a better mood, and Javert will be pleased to know that he is the cause of it. After a moment, he types another message, )
[ bless javert and his epic skills! despite the outrageous request, kol doesn't found he actually found it. if this was niklaus, he would've found a rock and drawn a face on it. ]
( He's just sitting at one of the tables, with nothing on the table before him save for his tablet, his lantern, and the rock. Whenever Kol arrives, Javert looks his way, but he doesn't smile, doesn't wave. He's as reserved as he always is. )
[ kol appears within two minutes, stepping inside the invincible's tavern and easily making his way to javert. his eyes immediately go to the rock, nicely lit up by his lantern.
it's definitely the rock. that growing, gnawing anger inside of him disappears almost immediately as relief floods him instead. ]
Thank you.
[ it's the most generous thanks kol has given in his entire life. he picks up the rock, quickly examining it in case it's missing any of its rocky edges (not that he'd know), and holds it in his palm. looking at javert, he decides to take a seat.
leaning back in his chair, he says casually, ] This means I now owe you a favour.
( Far be it for Javert to turn down an offer like that. The gratitude seems to perk him up a bit, almost drawing a full, genuine smile out of him, but he sobers up quickly. )
There is something.
( He admits, squirming awkwardly in his chair. Javert may be an honest man, but it still makes him uncomfortable to admit his faults, especially when said fault is being robbed by a thief. )
I lost a pair of handcuffs. Perhaps you could help me search for them? They were stolen right out of my coat by one of those fiends, and I've searched high and low for them to no avail.

Would like me to deliver it to you?
