Yes. I'll only be a few minutes. [ Jacob has absolutely no sympathy. perhaps for Abberline, should he indeed be responsible for the investigation. but even then... he did knowingly get into this line of work, didn't he?
he closes the door and sets about cleaning up as well and as quickly as possible, applying the salve where it is needed (which fortunately is mostly on his hands) and checking himself over for anything serious he might have missed. it turns out that even so simple a thing as changing into clothes that don't smell of smoke and blood is enough to almost make him feel like a new person. for the moment, anyway. he will find some way to forget about all this. ... perhaps whisky is not the wisest choice for that, or the most permanent, but it'll serve just fine.
after transferring anything possibly useful from the old pockets to the new, Jacob emerges from the bathroom looking much more like himself already. so sue him if he's left the wreckage of his old outfit in the bath, he'll toss that out later. he makes a beeline for where he suspects Evie to be waiting and he might perhaps be a little too eager to get going. ] So where's this manor with the overabundance of whisky?
