Spoilers for Sherlock 3x02 under the cut

[goodforhim]

Well, the wedding was certainly...interesting that's for sure.

I think everything went well in the end though and everyone had a good time despite the...attempted murder. Thank God.

[He offers her a wistful expression.]

You looked lovely.

[goodforhim]

[She’s going to look back at him with a small smile, tilting her head to the side.]

Thank you, Sherlock. You looked quite dashing in your suit yourself, you know. And your speech was…it was perfect and your playing. You know John told me you could play the violin but I never knew just how good you were at it.

[highfunctioning_sociopath]

[He smiles and gives her a small nod. If she's not going to mention is absence, he won't.]

It's just something that I do.

[He can be humble, since he proved how good he really is.]

Did you find the envelope?

[goodforhim]

[Oh, she's going to, give her time. She's just...waiting for the right time to slip it in.]

Well, I'd love to hear you play again some time.

[And it seems now is the time for her to mention it. She nods a little at the question in response, not saying anything on it instead opting for:]

...It's a shame you couldn't stay.

[highfunctioning_sociopath]

Perhaps that can be arranged, when you're around 24 weeks along.

[Silly before then, since the baby can't hear that well yet.]

I... had a thing. I mean I helped John save his Major, allowed for the arrest of the photographer. Lots of paperwork needed to be completed.

[All of it true, just not at that specific moment in time.]

[goodforhim]

I'll have to hold you to that.

[She'd enjoy it and the baby would enjoy it too she's sure of it. John might be sick of it by now but...no John would enjoy it too. She doesn't believe a word of what he has to say for himself but she'll nod her head anyway.]

Right...

It's a shame you didn't really get to dance. [Yes, Mrs Hudson told her she saw you practicing, Sherlock.]

**snorts** was literally at that Mrs Hudson scene - had to "pause" to reply!

[highfunctioning_sociopath]

[He wouldn't expect anything less from her - it's one of the reasons why he likes her.]

Well, it was really about you and John. Besides, I taught John how to dance, so it was like I was there.

[Except John was a terrible student and couldn't be taught hardly anything, not that he says this out loud - and people say he has no edit button.]

What amazing timing XD

[goodforhim]

And you did a good job of it. I was quite proud of him, he didn't step on my feet once.

[He did come extremely close at one point but that's besides the point. Maybe she should change the subject although her decided subject changer clearly isn't one that's going to be well received.]

...So, your brother couldn't make it? I take it he's not a fan of weddings either.

Yup XD

[highfunctioning_sociopath]

Thank heavens for small mercies.

[Oh. His brother.]

Why would you even want him there?

[goodforhim]

[Who knows why she mentioned it but it's out there now. It's not like anyone had expected him to come in the first place. Maybe she's trying to figure out more about how Sherlock feels about his brother.]

I don't really know him...at all actually but I thought it might have been nice for him to be there. For you. With you.

[highfunctioning_sociopath]

[Sherlock is confused now.]

Why? Am I not good enough on my own? John was there, wasn't that good enough?

[goodforhim]

Of course you are, Sherlock. More than enough. That's not what I meant just...forget I said anything.

[The brother is a complicated subject. She should have known better than to mention it.]

[highfunctioning_sociopath]

I think that's for the best.

[Though He's not really the 'letting go' type.]

Orphan. Not "Only Child" but orphan....

[Excuse him. The mun has a wild-brain idea that will probably be disproved next week :/]

[the_new_sexy]

Yes, well, apart from that and the unexpected announcement I was quite certain you were aware of prior to deducing it myself---

It was nice.

[goodforhim]

I…had thought of the possibility but I’d convinced myself it was just wedding nerves. Butterflies in my stomach. But I guess now we know that’s not the case.

[After a pause, she speaks up again] Thank you, Sherlock. For everything. You were the perfect best man and I’m sure John would completely agree with me.

[the_new_sexy]

[Expression reads: Really? Did we go to the same wedding?]

...Thank you.

[goodforhim]

[Oh yes, they were certainly at the same wedding but she has to laugh a little at the expression on his face.]

Sure, it wasn't the traditional best mans speech but you said...well, you said some really lovely things, Sherlock. And you made the whole room cry. Not to forget the violin playing and the song you composed for us.

[the_new_sexy]

Yes, well, I thought any sort of traditional song picked at a wedding planning session would not have suited you two.

[The words are said gruffly, but he means them as a compliment.]

[goodforhim]

No...well you were right.

[Of course, he's always right, isn't he? Well...most of the time...a lot of the time.]

Not to mention all the help you gave us before the wedding. Did you ever think of becoming a wedding planner, Sherlock? [She jokes, she jokes]
