Yes, and no. I was being sincere about what I said about Mr. Escardos. I would not lie about that.
[He's happy to close his eyes when the other sits down, Irene not budging from her position. She looks exhausted, bristling her feathers sometimes with deep breaths.]
Alright. Then keep yourself safe tonight. Are you planning on going anywhere in particular?
If you're concerned, I won't kill. [ another pause. ] Correction: I will try not to kill. I cannot calculate whether or not that Angel will appear or not, and I doubt I can do anything to stop it, in this state.
[The gears of his hand whirr, endlessly, like the gears in his mind.]
[He opens his eyes, finally.]
Nothing else. You are free to do what you like, my dear fellow. [He won't stop them this time.] I hope the night goes well for you, Flat. Enjoy it with your own eyes. It's a chance of a lifetime.

Then you can tell me what to do.
[He hums. Irene, as a crow, rests her beat on top of his head where he's perched on his shoulder.]
We both have similar goals, you see. I care for Mr. Escardos very much, and would not want him unharmed. [That's his BOY.] So my services are yours.

[The statement comes with some surprise from Sholmes - whose own face moves into a smile of his own.]
Haha. [He sounds almost touched.] I don't plan on doing so, my dear fellow. A great detective must persist through all things.
[He waves.]
