On the subject of teasing.

[illbebach]

Yes, it is fun isn't it? Creating this - dare I say - Wilde goose chase, riddling him in circles. I like a woman who can spin a tale, how satisfying that you should already know that.

Oh dear, did I just give a hint away? Whoopsie.

You're baiting him. We're baiting him. I think I might be enjoying this quite deeply.

[alldeduction]

Oh, exceedingly.

I'm sure you're perfect for each other.

[illbebach]

It really means a lot, that you think so.








To her.

[alldeduction]

Don't worry, I would never believe you capable of sentiment.

But you both had fun, didn't you? With this little game of yours? Pulling the strings and watching me dance.

[illbebach]

Well. Yeah.

[alldeduction]

And I suppose a victory. Couldn't help but leave me a clue.


But you know I'll catch you, now.

[illbebach]

What can I say? She's been playing the other guy for a millennia, old habits die hard. And you're well aware of habits, don't let me tell you.

Is that a promise, Sherlock? You mustn't break your promises.

[alldeduction]

Oh, I am. One can hardly deny the similarities, though I'm surprised you'd approve. But I suppose he isn't exactly an angel, either.

A promise, and a threat.

You wanted my attention? You have it.

[illbebach]

So here's out little game of chess. Pretty little set up, all the kings and queens and pawns.

Your move.
