Martin was out cold for a lot longer than he would have anticipated. Of course, he woke up without much concept of time until he fully was lucid for a few days. He was set up in quite a nice flat. This Irene Adler really held up her end of the deal and he knew he had struck a deal with the devil, but he was loving it.
So on his second week in London, actually capable of moving about, he got himself a haircut and a shave. He now had the funds so he was able to buy a suit and look quite presentable. Nothing like his incarcerated self.
Then he found the guinea pig cafe.
She had to know that he had 'passed' since it was in the news, causing him to wait a while before coming out of hiding. Still, Martin grinned as he approached the tiny cafe, seeing that it was a bit different than what he had imagined from her description of it. He casually walked inside as if he were anyone else.
"Do I just take a seat anywhere or..."

"He would recite poetry to me after we fucked. It was quite romantic." The poetry and the sex. "He was in his late 40s, and I was 19. So I guess I have a thing for older men."

“Money doesn’t have to be an issue anymore, darling.” He casually reminded her. “If we want to buy you new outfits, we can.” Now we are a “we”.
no subject
A priest, a serial killer, her best friend's boyfriend. She makes bad choices.
She notices the use of 'we' and it feels sort of nice. They can have something sort of normal.
"New outfits and nice wine. I'd think you wanted to keep me around."
no subject
"Well, you do give great head." He casually stated with his playful smile. "And I do like to spoil the women I'm with." Which would sound misleading for a sociopath; he did it for status and image, not really for her enjoyment directly. Only a wealthy man had the ability to treat a woman so well and they also did as he asked as a result; a win-win.
no subject
She was doing as he asked before he had much to offer. She knows his spoiling her is not really out of affection, but because it satisfies him.
"I know it all comes from the deepest part of your heart." She can't even say it with a straight face.

She gives his hand a little squeeze in reply. She's sure he has some level of fondness for her. As much as he's capable of.
"I do want to get us some pretty blonde."

"A submissive, someone I can pin down and have my way with."
no subject
He certainly loved the idea of her having her way with someone else. "I could also pin her down for you."
no subject
She smirks, "you are very good at restraints."
no subject
"I mean, I would keep her mouth busy, but yes, I'd hold her down for you."
no subject
She smirks at the idea of Martin fucking the girl's mouth, rather than inciting jealously it seems like a very sexy thought.
"I'd want to sit on her face, I haven't gotten to do that for a very long time."
no subject
"Then we must make it happen." He declared, his mind already made up that he would contact his handler and ask about her girls, or what girls she could get for him. "Maybe we try out a few to find the one we like best."
no subject
"Aw. If we find one we really enjoy we can keep her as a regular."
no subject
"Exactly. Shop around for the right one." He had surely adjusted to a life of luxury and never shook it, even after 20 years in prison; it fit back on him like a glove. "We have all the time in the world." Or so it felt now that he was free.
no subject
"Sounds like a very enjoyable project." She laughs, finishing her glass of wine. "I'm still waiting for David to knock and tell me it's time to go."

He's always had someone just outside the door so it must feel strange to be in this large space alone.
"Really good. I'm starting to wonder if there is anything you're bad at."
no subject
"Very little." He winked. "But I'll only show you the good stuff." Not that he had to convince her further to stay but it was back to spoiling her in little ways.
"Now what of your work schedule? Does it just vary on the day?"
no subject
"I finally hired an employee. So that's nice. They do 38 hours and I mostly do the rest. But only until about 2 or 3pm."
no subject
If it were ever discussed, he would argue that Jessica was far more public. Their relationship had eyes on them and friends, colleagues and families. No one knew Fleabag was in his life or he in hers. So it would actually be far easier for him to murder her without a trace. Especially if he was supposed to be dead.
“Quite the business woman you’re turning out to be. Plan to set up franchises?”
no subject
For some goddamn reason, she trusts him. He doesn't seem to have any inclination towards murdering her, especially not when he's basically being handed victims.
"God no, that would be way too intensive for me."
no subject
“Doesn’t your family live in London?” He recalled. “Do they often stop in? To the shop that is.” Curious for his own reasons of being around, that is.
no subject
"Yeah, my family is in London. They would notice if I was missing." She laughed. "My sister and I go to lectures together sometimes."
