Write a mediocre song about this shell of mediocrity and pretend there's nothing wrong. [Locked]
Contrary to popular belief (or at least the belief that may or may not be expressed by one Sydney Bristow at this point, given his last reply to her on his journal), Sark is not really a masochist. Well, maybe a little in highly controlled circumstances, and that's not even the point. The real point is that for this to work, he needs her full cooperation and if getting her cooperation means letting her hit him as hard as she possibly can, then so be it.
He knows from experience that cooperation is not an easy thing to get from Sydney when it comes to the subject of him. Even when she doesn't know him by reputation, the rather tumultuous nature of their last few meetings was probably more than enough to convince her that two of them working together is probably not the best of ideas if one of them (him, specifically) wants to keep breathing, but he's as persistent as she is stubborn, and he's fairly certain that if Sydney just accepts that she can't escape from the life she's been trying to leave behind, he can stop dancing around her. A partnership between them is the next best thing, after all, considering there's no emotions to get in the way of that sort of thing.
But first he has to tell Sydney that he signed her up for a mission without actually consulting her. Of course, Vaughn and Marshall were unwittingly signed up too, but getting Sydney on board means getting them on board as well.
Of course, he has to actually get Sydney on board first, which is why he's sitting in this coffee shop, waiting for her rather like someone waits for an approaching storm. You can interpret that as you will.
