How kind of you, dear fellow. Here I was, caught in an agonising wait.
[In truth, he was waiting because the hot chocolate is just that; hot. So be careful, friendo, don't rush into this one! Tongues may be burned. Still, he allows Sholmes to take the mug from his hand and steps over to the settee to make himself comfortable. His eyes fall on the metal trunk and as often happens, he's somewhat overcome by bittersweet nostalgia. Those adventure years truly were some of the best of his life, weren't they? And perhaps it's selfish to feel that way; he has his job and his daughter in Japan now. Those ought to be the best aspects of his life, shouldn't they?
He tears his gaze away from the trunk to fix Sholmes with a smile.]
Be careful, please. It's only just come off the stove.
