He can't afford to give himself away, not yet. But he's rapidly running out of time; he knows that between John and Jim, someone's going to start looking for him soon, and that has the potential to be messy. (He knows how to not be found, of course, hiding out here is child's play. But things are complicated enough without a manhunt.)
Their game hadn't ended when he stepped off the roof, not even slightly. But this wasn't the extension he planned for, a deadlock in Moriarty's replacement purgatory. Regroup, reevaluate, start again.
