Though I find your interest in me flattering, I have other matters to attend to: mainly exacting revenge for my death. I'm certain Holmes will see that measures are taken against Moriarty. However, where is the fun in sitting on the sidelines?

Such inaction has never suited me.

Comments

[tabards]

I doubt inaction when ones assassination has already taken place is entirely understandable, even to your Mundane. Patience does seem misplaced in this instance — for whatever my humble opinion is worth, my lady. I wish you luck.

[justalady]

I happen to agree with you. There is no reason I shouldn't take what measures I can to ensure I am not forgotten.

Thank you.

[tabards]

Not at all. Take measures to ensure you are not forgotten and also kept safe from harm, this time on a more permanent note.

[justalady]

I will not be accepting tea or any food whilst I am around said foe. I fear I learned that lesson the hard way.

[tabards]

That was a cowardly manner of doing away with you. It's despicable.

[justalady]

Nothing less could be expected from a man such as him. He was quite determined to end my life and to end it quickly.

[tabards]

How did you cause him offense?

[justalady]

It wasn't so much that I caused him offense. I was no longer of any use.

[tabards]

A criminal mind, then. I hope you find him put to trial and granted a punishment in accordance with his vile way of life.

[justalady]

One of the sharpest criminal minds I've encountered. (And that is saying something.) I highly doubt any prison could hold him.

[tabards]

Then they ought to sentence him to a lawful execution.

[justalady]

That too can be a tricky ordeal. (As seen with Blackwood.) I'd much rather kill him myself.

[tabards]

That could mean a whole new world of trouble for you.

[justalady]

I'm used to that sort of trouble.

[tabards]

Evidently, my lady, or you wouldn't have wound up a corpse to begin with.

[justalady]

Such is life.

I'm afraid I haven't introduced myself. Feel free to call me Irene.

[tabards]

Anakin. [ With a genteel bow, as he was raised. ] Anakin Skywalker, Jedi Knight.

[justalady]

Quite a title. I can't say I know what it stands for, Mister Skywalker.

[tabards]

A peace-keeper's title, in short. What is it that you do, Irene? Besides anger very short-tempered, twisted criminals?

[justalady]

I do many things. One could say I'm a woman of many talents.

[tabards]

[ Just ... going to assume she means that in the most respectable of ways, yes. Naturally. ]

I see. How very versatile of you. Why not employ one that doesn't get you killed?

[justalady]

(Naturally.)

I was caught off-guard by his actions. Up until I interfered with his plan, things were going smoothly.

[tabards]

You shouldn't involve yourself with men like that at all, they have no morals. But, I'm sure you knew that going into the whole business.

[justalady]

It is better to use than be used. (Irene is a hardened woman.) I've dealt with my fair share of men who pretend to have morals.

[tabards]

[ Drawing himself up, the primness of what he says next isn't without very real conviction. ]

Then they were worthless, every single one of them.
