You what?

[the_urban_tiger]

Let me make sure I've got this straight.

I'm not even in the show except some vague remark on Watson's blog that MIGHT have been referring to me (really, "I knew that his assistant (his John Watson?) wouldn't kill him." is the best you can do) and you're trotting me out? The best you've got for my history is one hundred year old books and what you're calling "fandom", which doesn't agree on the finer points of my existence.

Yeah, this sounds like it's going to work fine. Don't worry. I'm sure it'll be great, yeah.

Yes, that was fucking sarcasm. How the fuck do you think this is going to work? Just find Jim, get me a job and then maybe we'll talk.

... don't you even bloody start this nonsense about the end of The Reichenbach Fall.
We are not going to get on well.

[Sherlock's still amused.]

So... you're his queen then?

[He absolutely means it both ways.]

[the_urban_tiger]

[Please enjoy this "SERIOUSLY" face]

...

...

...

Figuratively speaking.

[highfunctioning_sociopath]

[Sherlock is still amusing himself.]

...And what a figure it is too.

[And yes, that is solely to get a reaction out of Sebastian.]

[the_urban_tiger]

[Alpha male personality is antagonized!]

Do I look like a fucking queen to you?

[highfunctioning_sociopath]

[Sherlock considers it a success, then.]

Do you really want me to answer that question?

[the_urban_tiger]

Oh please, do.

[It's a critical success!]

[highfunctioning_sociopath]

No you don't.

[It's not that he understands the sarcasm, it's everything about Moran's demeanor that tells him.]

[the_urban_tiger]

You're the one with the gun, big man. What are you afraid of?

[highfunctioning_sociopath]

Only the stupidity of others....

[Really, very little worries Sherlock - outside of something like not being able to solve a case.]

[the_urban_tiger]

And yet you intentionally antagonize those you consider inferior in intelligence, thus subjecting yourself further to their stupidity. Doesn't say much for you, does it?

[highfunctioning_sociopath]

That's just fun.

[There is a difference, after all. He's entertaining himself.]

[the_urban_tiger]

So what you're saying is you're a sadistic, egotistical prick who just likes to get a rise out of people. ... You and Moriarty really aren't that different, are you.

[It's not a question.]

[highfunctioning_sociopath]

Well, even John said we'd be very happy together.

[the_urban_tiger]

Just imagine, you can take turns picking at each other and everyone else all day. Never a boring minute.

[highfunctioning_sociopath]

Hummmm... That would be too much of a good thing, don't you think?

[the_urban_tiger]

No such thing.

[highfunctioning_sociopath]

You know Miss Adler, then.

[the_urban_tiger]

[he looks amused- someone has a few stories, though probably not the type you'd think considering the people involved]

Yeah. We've met a time or two.

[highfunctioning_sociopath]

But enough that you've picked up on her attitudes about things.... Interesting.

[Better than him being bored.]

[the_urban_tiger]

"Picked up"... oh, right, because Miss Adler is the only person with that particular set of values and outlook, right? Certainly I couldn't have possessed any of them before I met her.

[highfunctioning_sociopath]

No.

It is more the voice inflection, phrasing and timing of such a phrase.

[the_urban_tiger]

Oh, clearly, my mistake. She certainly does have a way with words sometimes, doesn't she?

[highfunctioning_sociopath]

She still lost, in the end.

[the_urban_tiger]

I know. Bit of a shame, but that's what you deserve for getting too attached.

[highfunctioning_sociopath]

And you haven't? Gotten attached?
