[His tone skews dismissive, but as with all things, Sholmes does not always let the more sincere shades of tonal emotion shine through. Ultimately, van Zieks is correct in his assessment—Iris has not left his mind for but a moment since his arrival in this hell, and the untraversable distance between them makes her presence in his thoughts all the more prevalent—but let the man be correct. Two plus two equals four, and a foster father shall miss his foster daughter; there is no point in beleaguering the obvious, even if that obvious is currently unspoken.]
I am grateful for your diligence. Of course, the next time you find yourself bearing news of import, you may call upon me in person, rather than using this device which so easily loses itself between the cushions of the sofa.
[How very Sholmes of him, to expect someone to visit simply so that he doesn’t have to dig around for his phone the next time it demands his attention — conveniently forgetting that he never gave the man his address in the first place.]
