Hello, Colmes!

I find myself puzzling over your intentions often, lately, but I must say you have not puzzled me more before than with the latest. So, I must ask: what gives? Perhaps Dante has aggravated you somewhere along the line, this I might understand, but I can only wonder what grudge you hold against Manos.

Drop the charges. They don't apply. "Bear it out in court", yes, I understand the whole spiel- we don't go about charging people with Murder in case they're guilty, though, do we? I can only hope this is some momentary lapse in your judgement. I was an ardent admirer of your earlier gambits, you know. Have you lost it?

If something else is bothering you, that I might be able to help with. You won't get anywhere waving that broad brush of yours, though.

So, please.
Put it away.

Apothar,

If my intention was to charge your Nadiri, I would've done so last night when I brought him in for questioning. He seems the studious type, or at least, the report-writing type, which I've been told can be in short supply among you and yours. He can share the details of our discussion easily enough.

As for my intentions-- they should become clear soon enough. Not that you need to worry. I've been informed you've been baptized under Izdu three or four times at this point, yes?
