A reminder of what he was? Truth be told, I'm certain even you miss it. Did you ever read the accounts, sir? This man once laughed in my face and told me that if mutual destruction was our end, that he would be willing to be dragged down to hell with me if that was what it took.
[He shrugs, quietly - balancing between being slightly insulting, slightly challenging...and yet preferring to defer to the CLEARLY stronger person. An amusing partner, an amusing diversion...gain trust and grease the right wheels, flatter the right way.
It's almost an art - and it's so easy to see how he managed to control london's underground so easily as he pulls off this performance.]
It is a bit disappointing, I must admit - but if you're willing to continue bringing him here, then I wouldn't be remiss in trying to reignite that spark for you.
[He doesn't like speaking about Holmes like he's - some sort of animal, or a child. But, that's the way this must be.]
