"To works in progress," Sloane says, raising his glass to her. "Personally, I always found finished masterpieces leave one feeling somewhat hollow."
After the toast, the waitress approaches and asks whether they want desert. Sloane tells her to wait a bit, and as she withdraws, he says:
"This reminds me. Naturally, your efforts on my behalf will ensure a financial compensation" - he has included a suggestion for the salary she'd earn as his lawyer among the names, dates and accounts he gave her earlier; it's generous, though not extravagant - "but I think there should be more in the ways of deserts."
Especially if she gives him the Burkles as a way to use counterpressure on Peyton. Even more so if their first dealings work out and they get to the stage where she'll help him procure the Wolfram & Hart Rambaldi artifacts. He reaches in his jacket and pulls out two tickets for Madama Butterfly. They had originally been planned as a gift for Sydney and Jack, but that had been before Sydney went missing, and ensuing unfortunate events. Giving them to Lilah Morgan after what she had said added an originally unintended but not unsuitable subtext. It was, after all, the story of a woman falling for the wrong kind of man.
"Admittedly it's not La Scala, but then, you'll have a shorter way back home," Sloane says, giving her the tickets.
She can take her work in progress along, unless they're both less than enthusiastic about opera. For a moment, he recalls taking Nadia to see Norma last year, and her joy in it, despite the awkwardness between them; then he surpresses the memory and concentrates on the brunette sitting opposite of him.
