Consider Mello's also the enemy of my enemy. [Though there's something in Myr's tone that says he wishes, dearly, it weren't so.
Niles hadn't threatened, repeatedly, to kill him out of jealous pique. Niles--for all his other vices and shortcomings--wasn't entirely consumed by the Original Sin. Niles was decent, in his own way; cared, in his own way, for those who needed it most, where Mello was eaten up entirely by short-sighted selfishness.
But Niles wouldn't be swayed from what he intended for L and so, here they are.]

Maybe that's a kind of cowardice.]

Well, consider it an open invitation to collaborate.
[Just in case he grows a spine at some point.]

[Who knew. If Mello became a more imminent threat, it might be wise to take Niles up on the offer--
But for now Myr's drawn his line.]
