Comments

[schattendiener]

[ it's debatable whether I sleep much at all ]

Good evening, Mr. Holmes.

[depraved]

Evening.

[schattendiener]

May I join you?

[depraved]

I see no reason why not.

[schattendiener]

[ well then, takes up some wall space next to you and pulls a cigarillo out of a jacket pocket ]

[depraved]

[ puffs come out of his pipe quietly ]

[schattendiener]

[ lights up, with a bit of a dramatic flair ]

[depraved]

[ rolls his eyes ]

[schattendiener]

[ I cannot help being myself, Sherlock Holmes . . .

but after that he's just going to smoke quietly ]

[depraved]

My stash is running out already.

[schattendiener]

I was fortunate to discover that Lady Kalidas offers cigars.

[depraved]

I prefer the pipe.

[schattendiener]

[ nods ] You may be limited to cigars or cigarettes, unless a god begins offering pipe tobacco.

[depraved]

Wonderful.

[schattendiener]

It is unfortunate.

[depraved]

[ grunts ]

[schattendiener]

[ smokes quietly for a few moments, before shifting the topic ]

Lady Albinia seems determined to offer lessons in science to all who desire them.

[depraved]

[ snorts ]

Not interested.

[schattendiener]

I've signed on to assist her, in part because it is a way to easily exchange service for laboratory equipment.

[depraved]

Did she agree?

[schattendiener]

Agreed to allow me to assist her, yes. Since the action would count as tribute to her, that likely can be exchanged for some supplies.

[depraved]

Hmm.

[schattendiener]

Acting as an assistant is no burden for me, since I do enjoy teaching.

[depraved]

Butler and teacher and scientist. Wonders never cease.

[schattendiener]

Ah, I cannot truly claim the title of teacher. My previous experience with teaching was mostly limited to one student.
