[Sherlock just stares at John until John decides to say more.]
[And he's going to stare right back at you, Sherlock. You know he's just being dramatic but really? Was that stunt in the train car really necessary?
Eventually he does say some though because...well, the staring. He sighs]
Can you blame me? What I said to you in the train carriage still stands Sherlock but I just wish you hadn't made me think I was going to die.

[Sherlock shrugs, but doesn't look apologetic.]
I could have just as easily died when I jumped from Bart's, so now you know what I felt as I was falling.
[And since they didn't really explain it, the writer is sticking with the headcanon that was developed two years ago.]

[No of course he doesn't. John wouldn't expect him to.]
So that's what it was then? You were trying to make me feel how you felt or was it just a joke?
[John shakes his head, raising a hand] You know what, don't tell. It doesn't matter now. We're both alive.

No worries! I need to figure out how the new background info should affect how I play him :|

[Sherlock mumbles anyway.]
Justdrawingcomparisons.
Brilliant observation, John. Gotten rusty while I've been away have you? Of course, you weren't all that great to begin with, always seeing but forgetting to observe.
[Sherlock, still is bad at this.]
{{OOC: Feel free to punch him, he deserves it :/}}

Oh, please don't. Having the fake one on my slab was horrid enough.
Yes, that was just a bit dramatic of you, John.
Yes, I have my own Mr Holmes I need to figure out too...

[Still bad at it? You don't say...
It's not like John had expected him to change but it has been two years and he'd forgotten just how blunt Sherlock was, among many other things. John is going to clench his fists and move towards Sherlock before taking a few deep breaths to stop himself. He had promised Mary he would...stay calm.
No promises though. He grits his teeth and his words come out a little forced and sarcastic.]
Good to see you haven't changed, Sherlock.

I have a Mycroft as well - the two of them are arguing in my head now ...

[And because of the words stated, the sarcasm goes right over his head.]
Really? I thought... well... It's been two years, so I thought I might have changed too much.
[He'll not mention the tortures he has endured - unless John forces him to.]

As far as I can tell you're the same old Sherlock.
[Yes the same infuriating, know-it-all, brilliant Sherlock. But yes as far as he can tell is apt though he has said sorry a lot to him. Not something the Sherlock of two years ago would have done. But then again back then he hadn't disappeared for two years letting John think he was dead
John raises a brow]
Unless you're admitting to changing yourself?

[Well as far as he knows Irene you're dead...there seems to be a trend occurring here. Anyway that's why he looks so shocked to see you around here]
Is anyone I though dead actually dead? Next thing Moriarty is going to pop up and that's all I need...

No? Well they bloody well should believe it.
That stunt on the train. Was that really necessary? I mean really, Sherlock

Well it's alright for you. You knew he was alive all this time and he didn't decide to make you think you were going to die in a train carriage!
[Breathe John, breathe]
Sorry...sorry
[Breathe John, breathe]
Sorry...sorry
Dramatic?
You think I was being dramatic? I think letting me think I was going to die was a bit dramatic.

[She cringes.]
...I knew you weren't going to take this well. [It's the reason she made herself scarce around Baker Street after the initial mourning period. She could keep a secret, but she hated being around John and Mrs. Hudson and not being able to allay their grief.]
You're right. You've had a worse go of it. But just because I knew he was alive after the hospital doesn't mean he kept in touch. It wasn't like he was sending me "Wish you were here" postcards. The minute he left London, he could've been dead and I wouldn't have known.

How could anyone take this well?
[Although saying that Mrs Hudson and Lestrade had been pretty happy to see him when he came back. They didn't hold on to any anger they might of had for long. Even Mary likes him. He quietens down a little as Molly continues to talk and when she's done he sighs, nodding his head]
Sorry Molly I know. I'm just...frustrated with him. [He does laugh a little at that] I guess that means everything is back to normal.

Of course not.
What it was is funny. Humor is rarely necessary.
Thanks, it has its benefits - sometimes, just not right now.

[Sherlock frowns - it's more of a pout.]
Don't me ridiculous. If I haven't changed, why did you make me... jump through all those hoops... [He scowls.] ...Saying sorry so many times.
[See John? He does care.]

Oh, I thought you were referring to all those times you strangled and hit me.
Well it really was the only way I was going to get anything out of you, John.

I didn't make you do or say anything, Sherlock. You did that all by yourself.
[John pauses a little then before nodding his head slightly with a sigh]
But you're right. You have changed. I mean the old Sherlock is definitely still there but there's something different alright.

[John mumbles a little to himself]
Yeah, he seems to be keeping a lot to himself recently.
[He pauses at that last comment, eyes on her for a moment before looking around. He raises a brow slightly before speaking up again, louder this time.]
If he's dead then why have I seen him around this place? ...Right. I forgot that could happen around here.

Funny? Yes, you did find it amusing, didn't you?
[He sighs a little before taking a few deep breaths. Calm, John. Calm.]
...But I guess if I can forgive you for not telling me you were alive for two years I can forgive you for that too. Forgetting it is a different matter.
