Yes and no? I mean… you can’t really be in the War without a Servant…
[ that’s too dangerous, even for flat. ]
But I just wanted to summon them because I thought it’d be cool to make friends with them. And I thought, if I befriend every Master and their Servant, we could take over the world!
[ he looks apologetic as he turns back towards the scrolls, and shakes his head. ]
But that’s a long story, and one that won’t affect this place, I think. [ a pause. ] So do you think red and green would work? Or is Bertolt more blue?
Blue, I'd say. It is typically a color associated with great sadness. [...] Regardless, Mr. Escardos...you're here, aren't you? There's hope for you, yet.
Pollution gets a bit better in London in the future, actually. They even cleaned up the Thames!
[ well, whatever was going on seems to have passed, considering that flat is smiling like normal again and jack has decided to become a ferret noodle on his shoulder. ]
But I think that the best type of sky is the one that appears after the rain.

[ he rubs the back of his neck. ]
But I also wanted to heal my friend—my Servant—if possible.

[He looks over, raising an eyebrow.]
Your familiar, you said. Didn't you summon this Servant for the purpose of the war?

What will you do, when you take over the world?

[ he rubs the back of his head, chuckling nervously. ]
I don’t think I would have done much. Maybe we could have used that to impulse humanity out of the Earth but…
[ he pauses, thinking. ]
I think I would just like to make sure the city’s safe and go home with Jack.
[ jack, as a crow on his shoulder, does not react to the name. ]
1/2
[wait, what, did he hear that right]

Why?

[
he turns to stare at sholmes dead in the eye, smile and eyes both devoid of any emotion. ]
Human lives are all valuable parts jumping clear of the Earth. Why do you think it’s such a pity to see them die like this?
no subject
["Valuable parts". Is that so.]
Of course it's a pity to see people die. Every life is precious, after all. [...] Say, Mr. Escardos. Do you include yourself in that number?
no subject
[ there’s something soft about that voice, detached and, perhaps, lonely.
but it picks up a bit of warmth again as jack starts grooming flat’s hair with its beak. ]
I’ve already played my part, sir. I don’t mean here, but definitely back at home.
no subject
[He picks up on that - he turns to Flat, eyebrows creased up in obvious concern. Irene, in hare form, looks between the both of them.]
So you won't be joining the rest of humanity just because of that?

[ he hums, nodding to himself. ]
I think it’s pretty, though. Like the blue sky.
no subject
[A hum.]
Here's to more blue skies in our future.

no subject
[huh?]
Oh, yes. Such a sky asks for a beautiful rainbow!
no subject
[ he nods! ]
I’m glad you agree, Mister Sholmes! Though the sky is pretty here too, I think. Being under the sea is a first for me!
no subject
[WHAT THE FUNK]
Well, I would think it's a first for everyone here. I would hope.
no subject
[ he smiles from ear to ear, eyes bright with curiosity. ]
It’s one of the things I love the most about people. No matter what, they’re all unique!
