When Watson walks off to retrieve the car, Lamont gives a cursory look around, finding a metal box for them to move the orb inside. He makes a nest of insulated wire to keep it from rolling around and settles it inside. The less hands-on he is with the orb, the less risk to his person.

He doesn't pause in his task while Holmes asks the question and he nods with a friendly smile.

"1935. Quite an impressive deduction for a man who dresses like it's the 1890s." Quid-pro-quo, though Lamont tends to be a bit more lighthearted about his inquiries. Satisfied with his task, he caps the box and stands while removing his gloves and putting them back into a pocket.

"If he tries again, we will want to secure this one, rather than bring it to the site of the other and double his chances of acquiring either." There's a coy smile as he thinks on a rather successful tactic he's used in the past, though it's questionable is a man of Moriarty's ilk would fall as easily for it. It's better to speak his mind though, than hold a potential plan to himself in this case.

"Unless you think there's a chance we could lure him into taking a device we could track." The technology he knew was old compared to this, but Lamont had still managed to plant a bug in a radio system which allowed him to listen in to the plans of his adversary until they caught on that he was too many steps ahead.
