"John?"
"Still at Baker Street."
"Really? I would have thought he'd moved out by now."
"He doesn't seem all that interested really."

"Thanks to some... timely intervention, his career is running smoothly."
"Anonymous donor, I assume."
"Indeed."
"Miss Hooper seemed worried about you."
"Really? Why would she... Right, sentiment, caring, all that."
"It's not always a disadvantage."
"Are you running a fever or something, that sounded remarkably sentimental..."
"No."
"How's... everything?"
"You mean the fact that your old team at NSY is still intact, or that John is working there?"
"Exactly... What?!"
