*Holmes did not turn fully around, but angled his head back in her direction, not looking at her.*
"I am sorry for your loss. But there is no need to excuse yourself to me, Madame. You owe me no explanation."

*Irene nodded*
"I know what you must think of me. That I'm a tramp, a seductress, who uses men like pawns. I didn't want you to think I was impolite as well."

"What I think... is of no importance," *he said.* "I cannot complain about any particular of your behavior towards me."

*She shrugged*
"I don't know why I should care. But I would not have a man like you as my enemy."

*Holmes turned back to face her. Women. Everything had to be emotional; even the best of them were plagued with it.*
"Then, Madame, you must take me at my word that my presence here is unrelated to yours. Nor did I perceive our previous encounter as one characterized by enmity; it was a case, nothing more. That there was rather more to engage your emotions than mine, I acknowledge. But I hope, likewise, that you view me less as an antagonist and more as a fair, if beaten, rival in a match of wits. A match that is long behind us."

*Irene nodded and collected her things*
"That's good. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go to my husband's funeral."

"Of course," *Holmes said, recalled to the moment. He stepped aside to let her pass. And he wondered what could induce a woman of her talents to marry so beneath her.*

((Jealous much? ;D))
*Irene walked out calmly, heading to mourn her husband.
Unbeknownst to her, it would be the last time she would be seen by the outside world for quite a while...*

((Not at all. Holmes never lies; he states fact.))
