Spoilers for 03x03, because the bandwagon is comfy

You did notice, darling, that neither Jim nor I were marked "dead" in Magnussen's reading of Sherlock's pressure points, didn't you? I'll be back, I'm certain.

And how are you surprised I knew he was faking it with the girl? It's what I do, dear, know when people are faking it and when they aren't, and he was dreadfully obvious. She, on the other hand, might be delightfully up for another bit of revenge. I think that can be arranged.

Wishful thinking, love?

[womanwhobeatyou]

More your wish than mine, pet. I expect you're missing having someone hold your leash.

[thetiger]

My wish for you is more along the lines of a quick drop and a sudden stop... but keep inflating that bloody ego of yours. Frankly, it's amusing.

[womanwhobeatyou]

Rather visceral for someone of your caliber, Sebastian. I'm flattered.

[thetiger]

What can I say? You apparently have the natural ability to inspire my masochistic tendencies.

[womanwhobeatyou]

That doesn't make you special at all, dear.

[thetiger]

Tch, no. I'd hope not. If I was the only person in the world to find you grating, I might be concerned.

[womanwhobeatyou]

How sharp do you think those claws really are, Sebastian?

[thetiger]

The better question, Miss Adler, is: should I care what your opinion is?

[womanwhobeatyou]

I hardly expect you to care. But if you are even half as clever as you seem to think yourself for being on Moriarty's leash, I expect you pay enough attention to know it.

[thetiger]

Oh, I know your opinion, love. You've made it as clear as daylight. And it's precisely why I couldn't possibly care less.

Would you rather I look intrigued or offended? Perhaps put a gun to your head? I'm sure you deserve it for several dozen reasons.

[womanwhobeatyou]

Always looking for instruction, Sebastian. Tell me really, are your little love notes about quick drops and sudden stops your own or what your employer likes?

[thetiger]

For someone who claims she knows every nuance of human behavior, you have a poor understanding of sarcasm.
