Really ought to have hit him a few more times.

Comments

[formersurgeon]

I think you showed admirable restraint.

[substituteskull]

Thank you. Difficult, really, if I'm to be honest. I didn't want to cause too much of a scene.

[formersurgeon]

Looks like that was unavoidable. Not to mention, totally his fault. He shouldn't have sprung that on you in public.

[lovessociopaths]

He only did it to protect you, John. You know that.

(Molly pauses a little, thinking about it. Well, at least she thinks that's why he did it but she could be wrong. She speaks up a little then after a moment)

But if it makes you feel any better he does seem sorry. Well, as sorry as he can seem anyway...I'm not helping, am I?

[substituteskull]

Another hit might have made me feel even better.

[lovessociopaths]

(She will smile a little at that. Believe it or not she does understand where he's coming from.)

I think you just might get another opportunity, John. Just be careful not to hurt him too much.

[wealldosillythings]

Anything more and he'd probably have come to me for stitches. And I can't take working with live people.

[That...was supposed to be a light-hearted joke. She tries, John. Her morgue humor hasn't improved in the past two years.]

[substituteskull]

I could have probably seen to my own stitches.

[None for Sherlock though. Bastard.]

[wealldosillythings]

I know. [She smiles a little.]

I...also know you're still terribly angry at him. And...and that's natural, that's perfectly fine, but... well, I just wanted to say that.. I'm sorry, John. For...knowing and not telling you.

[herrin]

That may have gotten the point across a bit more clearly, yes.

[noshit]

Mm, yes.

Violence solves everything, John.

[substituteskull]

It made me feel better--

Well no, actually-- No. It really didn't. I suppose I should have tried harder.

[noshit]

To what? Break my nose?

[Because damn your head is hard, John.]

[substituteskull]

Tell me you don't deserve at least that.

[noshit]

I did say sorry. Isn't that how things work? I apologized and you still want to bring bodily harm to me. I think we've both had enough of that lately.

[What with John getting drugged and tossed into the middle of a fire. Fun times in London.]

[the_new_sexy]

And it would have done nothing but had us ejected from a few more establishments.

[substituteskull]

... Worth it.

[the_new_sexy]

Hardly the hardest you've hit.

[sherlocklives]

I think you got your point across rather well, John.
