Fairly argued, dear friend. I do owe you as much. [He shrugs out of his heavy, practical Hunter's coat, laying it aside to put on Madam Generosity's gift. It fits him perfectly, for all he knows he'd lost weight and muscle since setting aside the coat it's a copy of.
That last thought's cause for a fleeting frown as he secures the last clasp and straightens the tall collar around his throat.]
