[Alice lets out a deep sigh, accompanied by the whining of a dog. She sounds more composed than she has days before. They both slept, ate, and are generally well-rested.]

I suppose I should ask, before I run into this sort of problem again. And I don't think Julius would appreciate me bathing him in a tub like an infant.

What is a rational way to bathe a dog? Unfortunately, Julius has gotten very dirty from the nights before. Along with a two ruined dresses of mine. I doubt that blood will stain a dog, for that matter...

The last time I bathed him, he took me in with him. He's a very friendly golden retriever and is very well mannered up until it's bath time. He enjoys it a little too much.


[Silence, and then.]

Where are my matters. [Dryly, a bit forced.] Thank you, Sora, for taking care of him.

Roxas, please tell me you made it out.

[deductions]

Of course they are.

[sebasher]

Pray tell, who told you that?

[deductions]

I told myself that. Problem?

[sebasher]

Not nearly as many as you have, no.

keywords.

[deductions]

Your words wound me, Moran.

right back at you.

[sebasher]

Oh, clearly I owe you every apology in the book, Holmes.

However, I fear your looks may wound me fatally.

[deductions]

Not fatal enough, it seems.

[sebasher]

We'll see, old chap. It may be the one time your look get you anything in life.

[deductions]

Is that a threat Moran?

Shall we see if the dog can hold his bite as well as his bark?

[sebasher]

Merely a jab at you, Holmes. Although, if you'd like for it to be a threat...

[deductions]

Threaten me all you want, Moran.

[sebasher]

I intend to, Holmes.

I do hope you're not using your spleen.

[deductions]

Regards, Basher. I like my lymph nodes where they are.

I don't even know what this thread has become and I love very moment of it.

[sebasher]

Exactly. Consider the previous message a threat to your lymph nodes. May they never do their assigned duty in the proper place again.

I'M CRYING GROSS TEARS

[deductions]

And there, the final proof that Doctor James Moriarty does not hire based on witticism.

[sebasher]

He has no need for it. He's not a man who appreciates good humour. Clearly, neither are you.

[deductions]

There is a word that stands out in that sentence, Moran. Good.

You're the one who brought lymph nodes in this equation.

[sebasher]

You're the one who wanted me to threaten you.

[deductions]

I was expecting a more creative response.

[sebasher]

And I was expecting a tiger, but you've yet to deliver.

[It all circles back to the tiger.]

[deductions]

You really ought to let that go.

[sebasher]

You really ought to not make promises you can't keep.

They're like an old married couple.

[deductions]

Perhaps if you didn't have ridiculous standards, this wouldn't be so complicated.

You're sleeping on the couch tonight, Holmes.

[sebasher]

Pray tell, how are my standards ridiculous? You agreed to find me a tiger, you've simply failed to deliver. It's all right to admit you're a failure, Holmes.

Go back to the kitchen, Woman.

[deductions]

I quote: "If it isn't an escaped tiger, I hope you've something more interesting for me."
