I really wonder how he survived.

Contingencies. I never had a chance to know the man's mind, but he seems like the sort who would have several plans at his disposal in case things truly became...untenable.

[She taps her lips with a finger.] What is his relationship with the local coroner?

[Her expression stays placidly cold and businesslike. Social graces? Explaining herself? Pff.] Interesting. You pose the question generally but seem disinterested in discussing it when replied to. Are you always this ambivalent?

[They always think that. She just smirks, as if amused that he's missing something important. Her reply is calm, matter-of-fact and just a touch amused in tone, and stays that way.] I'm one of the few people you'll ever meet who can sort out pretty much anyone's motives.

That said, it's clear you're a bit of a git. [Very deliberate phrasing.] It's quite ridiculous to pose a question on a private subject to the general public and then get offended when someone answers. If you did not wish to discuss it, perhaps you should have spoken up publicly on a less sensitive topic.

Enjoy your "work". I understand now why no one else bothered to interrupt it.
