B was a great actor, but still couldn't disguise the slight apathy in his voice when referring to Naomi. L was happy to hear the tone, otherwise Beyond would be more dangerous that he thought.
"So is that your secret?"

"One of my secrets. But I don't give secrets out for free. Just as I wouldn't give a lollipop to a child without a costume on Halloween."
He glanced at L's mask as he spoke.

L peaked his fingers like those aristocrats do on TV and leaned forwards just a smidgen.
"You scratch my back and I'll scratch yours, is it?"

"Precisely." he agreed with a small smile.

L considered.
"What do you want?"

"I don't know... Surprise me. Let's see what you have to offer."
He leant forwards, his position on the seat now very precarious but he didn't wobble.
"Trick or treat, L."

"I could clean your slate. Give you a fresh start in some other country, so you wouldn't have to continue hiding. Knowing you, though, you'd probably decline that offer. Hmm, I could let you officially join the competition for the title of L..."

"I don't believe you. If I won, would you want me to have a grip on the world?"

"Well, I'd be dead if it came to that, so..."
L had confidence in Mello and Near. If B showed up, they would probably unite against a common enemy before returning to their rivalry.

"Come now, if you don't care then why are you rearing clones?"

"I am most assuredly not rearing clones. Everyone is their own person, working in their own way towards their ideal of L." You could learn from that, was the unspoken advice to B.

B ignored this completely.
"Saying I took you up on this offer..."

"Go on." L casually sipped his tea.

"It still doesn't entirely suit my purpose. After all, you'll be dead."

"And what exactly is your purpose? If you live while I die, if you become the next L, then haven't you proven your worth?"
