Well. If he's anything like my brother, then you've nothing to worry about.

[A pause.]

Now, how do you know the... [An even awkward-er pause. This was entirely too much.] me from your world?

[not_harker]

He holds a certain position within the British government.

I work for him.

[holmesice]

You work for...?

[Yes. This has gotten entirely too strange for his liking. He's caught between the ill feeling in his stomach and the curiosity to know more.]

I would appreciate it if you could tell me what you can about him.

[not_harker]

He's undoubtedly intelligent, shrewd, and I daresay that the Empire is lucky to have him on our side. [Especially since he's orchestrated the use of biological warfare.] That said, I cannot say the man and I are even remotely chummy. [Especially since he's orchestrated the use of biological warfare.]

[holmesice]

[This is so unnerving and odd and he's not sure what the proper response is for someone telling you what you're like in an alternate universe. He sympathizes much more with House now.]

That sounds...accurate.

May I ask why?

[For reasons, of course.]

[not_harker]

His demeanor is unpleasant, his methods at times questionable, and his choice of lackey is practically insufferable.

[holmesice]

Then I suspect you'll likely feel the same way about me.

He must be a delightful fellow. I should like to meet him.

[Of course, existential horror aside, he would find himself to be great company.]
