Ah. Well I knew - he needed something more interesting to do, and I knew it -

[depraved]

Doctor. That's enough.

[confirmed_bachelor]

It's the bloody truth.

[depraved]

No one's that good to know the full truth of Sherlock Holmes. Not even you.

[confirmed_bachelor]

No, but I'd like to think I know something.

[depraved]

And you're right there. But saying you knew this would occur is hardly helping matters. Contend yourself in what you do know, but this incident is hardly one you can blame for your foreknowledge.

[sags a little]

Easier than blaming him when I can't punch him for it.

[depraved]

Keep blaming him. It'll make punching him that much easier.

[confirmed_bachelor]

I hardly need any help with that.

[ notices, but doesn't say anything ]

[confirmed_bachelor]

Besides, there's steps to take before that. It's possible he's stolen someone's cigarettes again and never quite bothered to come back. Or - broken his ankle somewhere and not bothered to use his phone to text me for help.

[depraved]

Do the phones work here?

[confirmed_bachelor]

Ours do. I linked them about a week back.

[depraved]

How does that work?

[confirmed_bachelor]

Tare did it with spiderweb. After I told her why I wanted it.

[depraved]

Fascinating.

[confirmed_bachelor]

Yes, well. Not getting any results right now.

[depraved]

That's only one option. There are plenty others.

[confirmed_bachelor]

I'm open to ideas.

[depraved]

You keep searching.

[confirmed_bachelor]

... I was going to do that anyway.

[depraved]

I know.

[confirmed_bachelor]

[nods]

Apartments first. Nature after that, in widening circles.

[depraved]

Very well.

[confirmed_bachelor]

I don't know what else to do.
