What is it, that they say?

'The game's afoot.'

How thrilling.

[She gently pushes his shoulder with a lazy laugh.]

Are you certain that isn't a fantasy?

[lostwithoutmyblogger]

Perhaps I will tell it to myself on the occasional cold, London night.

[byherheart]

You could join me, you know.

When you tire of the rain and fog.

[lostwithoutmyblogger]

And lead them to your doorstep?

[byherheart]

Of course not -- you're far too clever for that.

[Pleasantly.]

But every consulting detective needs a vacation -- one that even you can take unnoticed.

[lostwithoutmyblogger]

I've never taken a vacation in my life.

[Amused. It isn't a 'no.']

[byherheart]

Well. There is your problem.

[lostwithoutmyblogger]

Is it my problem? The psychotic tendencies are nothing compared to the lack of vacation time?

[byherheart]

Quite obviously.

[Mildly, as she examines her nails.]

My entire life is something of a vacation and I've no complaints thusfar.

[lostwithoutmyblogger]

I don't think I could join you on vacation- and do you know why?

[byherheart]

Why? You can't keep up with me?

[lostwithoutmyblogger]

Because the moment I arrived, you would start working.

[byherheart]

[That gets a slap to his shoulder, with a wide grin, before she laughs it off, shaking her head as she glances away.]

I'm willing to bet I would be able to manage five minutes of rest and relaxation with you.

[lostwithoutmyblogger]

[He smiles at where she scuffs him, although the expression is sort of fleeting.]

Without scheming?

[Possibly teasing her.]

[byherheart]

One must always keep alive, but I do think I've had enough of a close call to relax for -- oh, a day or two.

[Perhaps less.]

[lostwithoutmyblogger]

I'm somehow skeptical.

[byherheart]

Shall we place a bet?

[lostwithoutmyblogger]

You're trying to trick me into visiting to prove myself right?

[byherheart]

You're the one challenging me, Mister Holmes.

[lostwithoutmyblogger]

Make it somewhere with a library.

[byherheart]

[Ha. She has won.]

Paris.

[lostwithoutmyblogger]

[He scoffs.]

Sun.

[byherheart]

Chocolate croissants.

[lostwithoutmyblogger]

Good point.

However- Mycroft.

[byherheart]

Can certainly deal with a note saying you're taking a case abroad.

If he chooses to be nosy, then I can certainly throw him off his scent.
