[Without thinking, Kim's moved closer to where Sholmes is sitting. He places a hand on the other man's shoulder.]

... It's good that you made it back. The real you.

[greatdeduction]

....

[That's...]

[He reaches up, hesitates slightly, but puts his hand on the other's hand, looking up at him, grateful.]

...I'm glad, too. [He says, quietly.] Thank you.

[voltadomar]

[A few moments pass.]

Have you spoken with Miss Susato since the two of you returned?

[greatdeduction]

[There's a stark look of guilt.]

...No. I haven't.

[voltadomar]

[...]

Is it possible that she chose not to show her face today? After what you all went through...

[greatdeduction]

No.

[He shakes his head.]

I decided not to look. [...] I had a gun pointed at her, Lieutenant. I can't erase the memory of that easily.

[voltadomar]

[The hand on Sholmes's shoulder gives a gentle squeeze.]

... I don't blame you for that.

I'm just trying to think of a way for her to be perfectly safe right now. Because that's what I want to believe.

[greatdeduction]

[He can't help but lean against that hand a bit.]

...I as well. [...] Tomorrow, we shall put all our efforts in finding her first. If she's in danger...we'll save her. We have to.

[voltadomar]

We will.
