"A recurring adversary." Lamont states with a nod. He's not quite been around the 'vigilante' circuit back home to really gain any of those, and there's a certain part of him that's a little glad for it. Still, is speaks volumes to Moriarty's cunning and intellect that he's at large, and been a regular problem for a man like Holmes.

Lamont pauses in his conversation to carefully mind how Watson accomplishes the merging maneuver, and then returns his attention to Holmes.

"Seems to me she has a good measure of foresight to solicit your help." Lamont works regularly with Margo, and though she doesn't run his lab, she's one of the best on his staff and a good friend. He trusts her implicitly, and knows she does the best work. She's clever and spirited, and not afraid of danger when he calls for her. She doesn't know it yet, but in case of something happening to him, he's left the lab to her. At the thought, he wonders how being pulled to the future has affected his own time.
