Even the sweetest characters get frustrated with their players after a while.

 So let me get this straight:

First you were excited because I had a happy sex life, and now you're happy that my engagement didn't work? So you want me to... have sex, but not be in an actual relationship? Or was it that you just didn't like Tom?

Speaking of Tom, he wasn't 'useless'! Just because you didn't see much of him doesn't mean that he wasn't a very lovely man. And just because we broke it off doesn't mean he turned out to be a sociopath after all! Do you even know what that word means?

And for your information, while we're on the subject of men, I am over him. It was just uncomfortable watching him with that Jeanine woman because, you know. It was. John was clearly uncomfortable. So can we please stop talking about it?

Lastly, no, I don't know how he's back, but if he is, it's something Sherlock's going to have to deal with, and I'll help him if I can. I always help Sherlock. Yes, the slapping was helping. No, it wasn't funny. At least pretend to be mature once in a while, okay?

I think you should slap him more often.

[thewomanwhocounts]

You think he should get hit more often in general, I bet.

[you_dont_work_alone]

In general, yes, but I think it means more when it's one of his friends, and I can't be the one hitting him all the time.

[thewomanwhocounts]

I seem to remember you hitting him quite a bit. Both before and after he returned from the dead. It's sort of an abusive relationship.

....

[She makes it sound so bad.]

He started it.

[thewomanwhocounts]

... I think the phrase you're looking for is, "He was asking for it." Because yes, yes he was. If not literally, then just about.

[you_dont_work_alone]

I like your version better.

[thewomanwhocounts]

So long as we do it for his own good and not just for that sense of satisfaction, I think we're sort of entitled to it.
