bandwagons on, spoilers for 'the sign of three'.

[herrin]

I knew I was in your head.

[ and excuse her if she doesn't look ridiculously smug about it. ]

Fanboy's fantasy would be more accurate.

[He's just a little annoyed with that scene.]

[herrin]

It's hardly my fault that you prefer to remember me nude rather than clothed.

[sherlocklives]

It's not my fault you're remotely clever. Of course you'd be in my head, you were distracting me.

[herrin]

'Remotely clever'; you do know how to flatter a woman, Mr. Holmes.

[ a beat ]

I like to think I was helping.

[highfunctioning_sociopath]

Only because your nudity was a disguise unto itself. And since a disguise is always a self portrait....

[improbably_true]

Yes, I always tend to be more visual with my representations for - but you don't need to understand that do you?

[acclimatize]

I already told you as much.

[ He'll just be over here, long-suffering because no one ever listens to him. And people wonder why he yells. ]

[herrin]

That was then. This is now.

[ after her betrayal, after his subsequent granting of her fall, after karachi. after. it made all of the difference. ]

[herrin]

And what did my 'disguise' say about me?

[ really. enlighten her. ]

[herrin]

Don't I?

Do share with the class.

[highfunctioning_sociopath]

That the one time it mattered you would enjoy yourself too much.

[improbably_true]

No.
Definitely not.

[diogenesclub]

Hardly surprising, really.

[herrin]

And why is that?

[ she has her own theories and agrees but, do enlighten her. ]

[herrin]

With a vivid imagination like that...

I can only imagine what you get up to on your own.

[herrin]

We have very different recollections of 'the one time it mattered', then.

[diogenesclub]

Any passing fancy of his will occasionally manifest in his thoughts. Engraved in his hard drive so to speak. It's a compliment, really.

Most ordinary people are deleted right away.

[improbably_true]

Certain people in my mind represent certain things, you can guess what you might all you please.

[highfunctioning_sociopath]

Don't stop there. Please go on...

[But what he's really thinking is "undoubtedly."]

[herrin]

He did recreate me in perfect detail, didn't he?

[ she's rather proud of sherlock as well. ]

I think we both know I'm a bit more than ordinary.

[herrin]

Are you certain you want me making those assumptions?

[diogenesclub]

Decently enough.

[ he doesn't want to entertain the idea that he's apparently one of the voices in sherlock's head. he smiles. sort of. slightly. ]

A bit more, perhaps.

[herrin]

[ the loudest voice, even. what does that say about you? ]

Why, that may be the highest compliment I've ever been given.

[ also ]

I enjoyed your tracksuit.

[diogenesclub]

[ one has quite an influence if he's to be the boy's only real source of mental stimulation for god knows how long. ]

You should take it as one, Ms. Adler. I don't often allow them save for social graces.

Speaking of, I unfortunately have no sort of inkling of clothing to compliment you back on. [ strange how that is, isn't it. at least he's normally clothed. ( he would assume ) ]

My apologies for the lack of pleasantries.

[improbably_true]

[Rolls his eyes]

Not like you're not going to make your assumptions no matter what I say.

[Sapiosexual perhaps? Maybe. He'd never bothered to define it.]
