I find myself in a predicament, you see. As far as I recall, the man was happily waving his friend off back to his home. So to have Miss Susato unknowing of that of what is to come, is...
[.........Well, it's hella awkward, is what it is.]
It is my understanding that he is close with both her and Naruhodo. It seems to me it would be the kind thing to do to inform her that he is not dead as they believed him to be?
[But also he does not think he is the person who should tell her for several reasons.]
If that is what you say, Mr. Reaper. I haven't said anything to the kind. I have only said I know a great many things, and have been involved in a great many things. That is all.
Yes, indeed, in a court of law, your statement would never hold up as an admission of guilt. However, anyone with sense would arrive at the conclusion that your inability to utter "no, I was not involved," strongly suggests that you were. I'm well aware of your habit of talking around truths that are inconvenient to you.
[Gregson, probably: and THEN can you believe it, he had the audacity to say-]
It isn't as if I haven't lived through it already, dubious behavior and all. But Mr. Asogi is the last thing on the list of things to be concerned about here, yes?
... I have already agreed to your terms. [Yes there are bigger things to worry about but they don't have the truth to explain those away at the moment!!!! So he will just judge in silence.]

[And a wave over his shoulder as he leaves.]
Do get some sun when you can. It'll do you some good.

Sholmes.
[Calling after him because both he and I just remembered something we needed to ask this doofus.]
no subject
Why, if it isn't a certain dark voice, calling my name! How may I assist you?
no subject
I merely wanted to ask whether you have informed miss Mikotoba about Kazuma Asogi.
[Since as far as she aught to remember, he's dead.]
no subject
[And.........haha.]

[But also he does not think he is the person who should tell her for several reasons.]
no subject
[To tell, or not to tell. He's been lying for over a year now. What is a few months more?]
[Because how does he tell her of that grand lie and performance that was placed out, like bait, for everyone to believe in?]
...That is easier said than done, my dear fellow.
no subject
In what way? She doesn't need the details.
no subject
[A glance back at him.]
You don't know what occurred on that boat where he supposedly met his end, do you?
no subject
[But it his job to reason things out so he thinks a moment. Then gives Sholmes a flat look.]
Were you involved in the deception?
no subject
A great detective is involved in many things, my dear fellow. I have put many a hand into many a pie.
no subject
So your concern is that if you inform miss Mikotoba she will become aware that you have lied to her.
no subject
If that is what you say, Mr. Reaper. I haven't said anything to the kind. I have only said I know a great many things, and have been involved in a great many things. That is all.

[Smiling to himself.]
Anyways, think what you will. But this is something I will have to sort out on my own for now.
no subject
... Fine. But should I misspeak and mention him in passing to her, I take no responsibility for your dubious behavior.
no subject
[A bright laugh.]
