[An annoyed noise.]

Of course it has to be this way. Things would be easier if we could speak freely to one another.

What were you looking for up there, then?

[greatdeduction]

Of course it would. But angels seem to have large ears.

[And he lets out a laugh at that.]

Something shiny, perhaps? Ahaha! I really don't recall.

[winebar]

[He is so tired.]

Do try to be more careful in the future.

[greatdeduction]

[He smiles.]

Are you worried for me, Mr. Van Zieks?

[winebar]

For Iris' sake, obviously.

[greatdeduction]

Nooooot just because it's me?

[winebar]

You have plenty of others to worry after you on a personall level. Mr Kaburagi was keeping watch over you practically the entire trial.

[greatdeduction]

Well, I did give him a rather nasty shock by falling from the tree in front of him. The man must be exhausted dealing with me! Haha!

[winebar]

After allowing himself to be stabbed I feel he can hardly complain.

[greatdeduction]

Mm. That's just the type of person he is. He puts others before himself. Not unlike you, you know.

[winebar]

[He makes a face.]

I don't know what you're talking about.

[greatdeduction]

Oh, come now. You both are more similar than you think. You must see that.

[winebar]

I refuse.

[HE'S NOT DENYING IT'S THERE HE JUST REFUSES TO LOOK AT IT.]

I am simply dedicated to my work.

[greatdeduction]

[pokes him in the chest]

There's more than dedication in there.

[like your tits]

[winebar]

[Leave his tits alone.]

Yes. I am dedicated because I care for the people of London. Is that what you want me to say?

[greatdeduction]

That, and you care for individual people too. Like you care for people here.

[winebar]

[HMPH!!!]

I simply want for no one to be harmed here, as much as I would want that at home.

[greatdeduction]

Ah, yes.

[In a mimic of Reze's voice.]

"Uncle".

[winebar]

[LOW BLOW.]

She decided that on her own. I am simply humoring her.

[greatdeduction]

"Humoring". You are a poor liar especially to yourself. You care for the girl.

[winebar]

[LOOKS AWAY.]

If she is going to affiliate herself with me then it is important she be properly looked after.

[greatdeduction]

Seeeeeeee? You care. You truly care! I told you. You have a soft heart.

[winebar]

[HMPH!!!!]

... If the universe is going to bring me a girl to call me uncle, I can only see it as an opportunity to make amends.
[When is he going to stop feeling guilty about Iris.]

[greatdeduction]

Make amends for what? Goodness, it wasn't like you knew about Iris.

[winebar]

No, but that doesn't change the fact that I wasn't there for her.
