No, I think our friends from the netherworld do want to help - whoever it is that is addressing this letter to me is clearly among the currently living.
[ is he going to provide an explanation? maybe? no? yes? only if mcgillis asks?? ]
I hardly consider myself a leader, in any case.
[ HE WILL TAKE OFFENCE TO THAT PART!!! and only that part. all he wants to do is to solve puzzles and maybe a murder or two, which, you know, two out of three. so far. ]
There were two last week. How many did you and Jack find just now?
[ data!! he needs data!!
mcgillis's words at the end do end up pulling a small quirk of his lips upwards on william's features, even if it's not quite like a smile. ]
Is this the pragmatism that would come from your military background, McGillis? My brother would have said the same thing. [ william, however, is definitely more jaded on whether anyone's individual judgments-- glances at the Betrayals (tm) that happened over the past weekend. a soft chuckle, and-- ] And yet you would have no qualms letting me walk into the knife in this instance.
Enough qualms to warn you ahead of time. Not enough not to do it. It is the consequence of your lies, unfortunately, however well-intentioned.
[ McGillis has no trouble meeting Moriarty's eyes saying that either. The reasoning for the omission turned out to be much more benign than it could have been, but it is still Moriarty's own decision and he will have to reap what he sowed. At least, the others are likely to be sympathetic to his explanation. ]
There were four notes on paper as well as the cloth I just showed you. What makes you think the cloth is of separate origin even though they were found together?
I don't disagree with the notion that some of us may be working against the whole, I am just curious about the reasoning in this specific instance.
