"Oh, I assure you, I -will- start small. I would be ashamed of myself to be 'diving in' to such a thing. That behaviour would be far too like gambling for my tastes; I'm much more a fan of logical deduction than luck and chance, though I'll admit to some merit in those when they're present in one's favour."
Another sip brought the coffee near to being all gone; tilting it revealed a glance at the bottom of the cup, and a brief and ghostly glimpse of a distorted reflection.

He remembered to look to Lestrade and Skiron, needing a sudden pull from the memory of what awaited in the bottom of his cup.
"Ah. They're getting along. Good. Y'know, I've been worried about socializing Lestrade as much as I should- all he has for company the majority of the time is myself and Dupin- Ah." He reached to hold up her pokeball. "An Eevee. Come to think of it, she could use some socializing herself".
