[Sometime throughout the day, Juzo might notice a small slip of paper in his pocket, folded neatly. If he unfolds it, he will be able to read a message written in a looping, yet hurried hand.]
As promised, you have fallen victim to the crime of reverse-pickpocketing! A crime so innocuous, I would bet you a tuppence that you did not even notice this message until well after it had made home in your pocket. :)

[Simultaneously rude yet validating! Sholmes isn’t fussed.]

You know, it hurts a lady's feelings when you face her earnest affection and immediately run away.
[ It does not. It does not hurt her feelings. Ignore her. ]

I'd be happy to reenact it, if you don't remember. Maybe closer this time?
Either you're in Phoenix, recovering from your hushed argument from Sholmes, who I found sulking on the beach with ice cream, or you're somewhere else and you're not easy to miss.

[ Well! Ideally someone else lets her in, then! She just steps in, looks at him, and slowly shakes her head. ]
