Mm... That’s not a bad comparison, honestly. Murdoch is a bit serious, oftentimes I admit I’ve rather found having him around like having an older sibling watching over my shoulder and questioning my sense.

[This is said rather fondly, because he’s come to learn that Murdoch often means well by it. If anything, he was more supportive than the Inspector when worst came to worst. It was the man’s idea to keep him around despite there not being room for another detective.]
