	[A pause. The next statement is cold, but amused at the idea he's entertaining.] You've retired? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Almost primly.] On holiday. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Amused, still, but moving into dangerous territory.] Not a long holiday, I trust. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Within reason, obviously. Everyone deserves a holiday now and again. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I hadn't decided. [She knows the conversation is not going her way.] I was thinking Paris. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	A lovely destination. I'll expect you to start when you arrive home-in a month, say. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Quietly.] We are only here every month or so. For a few hours. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	The timing could not be more perfect. I must ask, Irene. Why so reluctant? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: 206/1204 nightmrholmes 2010-05-27 03:58 pm UTC (link)
	I told you. [Shortly.] I am on holiday. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: 206/1204 dierache 2010-05-27 04:00 pm UTC (link)
	[Bemused] Women and their fancies. You will have your holiday time, Irene, and then, this time next month, we'll discuss your efforts. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[A pause. Everything that follows is clipped, cool, and businesslike.]

May I remind you, Ms. Adler, that my employer's patronage has kept you comfortable in ways that your occupation as a vocalist [the word is heavy with scorn] could not. Employment within the organization is not something one retires from. It is something that one is retired from.

Have I made myself abundantly clear?

	Is that a threat, professor? [She knows it is, that's not the point of the question.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: 206/1204 dierache 2010-05-27 04:17 pm UTC (link)
	You are intelligent enough to work that out on your own, I feel. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[A moment for her to find her courage and collect herself. Moriarty's threat is real, and she has seen the results of such retirement. Then, challenging,] You are so sure your organization still exists in twenty-first century New York, professor? And they will care whether or not I choose to play your game? (Reply to this) (Parent)
