[ Moriarty is theirs, as much he doesn't want it to be true. And yes, he does blame himself at least in part for what has happened. It's bad enough losing Sherlock - he's not going to stomach letting anyone else run into this without warning them off. ]

It'll bring me peace of mind. Leave this one to the Sherlocks.

[He wants so dearly to ignore Watson's wishes. He wants his next question to be whether he has any leads, or maybe demanding to know exactly what it is that Watson is afraid of, because it must be someone and someone concrete. He wants -

But he isn't Sherlock Holmes. He's a lawyer. He was trained to be a lawyer, not a detective. And as much as he wants to throw himself into the role of detective, that which is closest to what he knows that he can actually do on this ship...It's not his job.

[ Yes. Absolutely. Every day that Moriarty lives is a dangerous one. And Edgeworth can't see the quirk of a bitter smile. ]

[And nor can Watson see Edgeworth's forbidding frown.]

[jurisimpudent]

[Yes is on the tip of his tongue. But, instead:]

No. One's word is one's word.

Thank you, Edgeworth.

[ That said, John disconnects. ]
