You put such stock in the opinion of a relative stranger! [ He tilts his head, amused. ] I suppose it will have to do; most of us are still just that—barring any previous ties in the waking world, of course.

[ His smile turns toothy, bringing to mind the self-assurance of a used car salesman ... if either of them knew what that was. ] However, your faith is not ill-placed—you'll not find a more studied expert on the subtleties of speech, attitude, and physical presence. It will take little more than a few exchanged words to determine if Lord Dohalim is suited to bear the yoke of leadership.

I shall report my findings, General at a ... hum ... future time. [ Sholmes offers a jaunty salute. ] I think it's wise not to speak in absolutes. For reasons I'm sure we both understand.
