You are adorable.
Really. In that fascinating way small children are adorable so long as they are quiet and belong to someone else.
I have no interest in inhabiting your head or dancing to your whims. Kindly take your misguided notion of a 'good idea' and apply it to someone else.
Do not make me repeat myself, it is tedious in the extreme. I have a government to keep track of and a brother to run; or the other way around, it changes each day to the next.

Doubtful. Even John can work out most of your files.

'Most', unlike the word 'all' leaves a margin for speculation that this might be like the majority or perhaps the rarity.
Of course you are welcome to leave that unknown factor to chance.
How much have you seen? I don't want to spoil you :)
Don't you ever bore of this?
[He makes a haphazard gesture to take in all to do with Mycroft's position.]
I have seen both seasons! :D and I apologize that I am no where near as smart as Mycroft!
The question is not a new one but each time it is asked, Mycroft takes a minute to genuinely consider his answer. He figures Sherlock would accept nothing less.]
There are ... tedious moments.
I'm not as smart as Sherlock - we'll muddle through XD
[Well, yes, he's putting words in Mycroft's mouth.]
Why bring me here alone?
Muddle, muddle, muddle!
[The words in his mouth, though for this instance Mycroft seems to object more because it is expected than because he actually feels it.]
You would have the answer to that question, were you to see the file.
no subject
I don't work alone anymore, you know that.
no subject
[As he says these last three words, Mycroft reaches with his hand to drum his fingers lightly atop a file folder. Coincidence? Combined with why Sherlock is here and John is not? Child's play assuredly, at least until you open the file.]
no subject
Is John in danger?
[That is really the only question that matters to Sherlock right now.]
no subject
[The file is right there, Sherlock, right under Mycroft's fingertips, don't you just want to snatch it?]
no subject
He walks up to Mycroft so that he's standing hardly a breath away and speaks with a voice that is thick with threat and promise.]
Is.John.In danger?
no subject
About the only concession he'll give, which would no doubt be akin to another man flinching in concern for his life, is he will lift the file, open it and shove it in your face.
On first glance, straight forward, a serious of suicides officially closed out as result of PTSD, nothing untowards until you look at the link across six such deaths in the past three months. Two from the 2nd Northumberland Fusiliers and four from the 5th Northumberland Fusiliers.]
I'm sure you'll see the connections quickly enough but for the sake of my personal space, which I would like back, the deaths are from ranks that served the same years as Doctor Watson.
At first I was inclined to pass it by, until I saw that for a three week span the second and fifth worked in conjunction. At which point, six instances of suicide stopped looking like an unfortunate coincidence.
no subject
He never said anything...
[It's as much shock that John wouldn't have told him about the deaths, or even the funerals - but then, they never spoke much about their lives before they met. Well, other than when they crossed paths with Mycroft.
Sherlock slumps into a chair more than sitting.]
Linked, but no leads, it seems. They don't have the same therapist or doctor. Other than their service, there's nothing that links them... not even their suicides...
[Unless Sherlock missed something, fighting his feelings.]
no subject
[Its delivered flatly, only someone who knows him might pick up the rebuke. Sherlock does not exactly invite personal troubles from the people around him, unless he deems them interesting. Mycroft is even worse about these things but can at least assume that Watson might want to protect himself from his friend's scathing disdain were Sherlock to find the round of deaths and funerals tiresome.
You just never knew.]
As you can see, it is anything but.
no subject
'Sentimental.'
[He's long moved passed seeing any part of John's life as out-right 'boring.']
John should be here.
no subject
[Can not let little brother get in the last word on the subject.
A flick of fingers.]
His presence was irrelevant unless you were going to take the case.
[Yes, past tense, Mycroft assumes the case is as good as solved at this point. He can not imagine Sherlock letting it out of his teeth, even if John's regiment were not involved, the details of the case, are fascinating in their disconnect.]
no subject
Get him here. Now.
[His body tenses to a hyper-stillness, the memory of what John had said earlier in the day about taking a 'quiet case' staying out of the media.... Is haunting him.]
no subject
However, there was always a point, a tone, a look in pale eyes that told Mycroft just how far he could go and when he was within dangerous of sliding past the line.
Reaching for his phone he looked pointedly bored, though he was anything but as he punched in the necessary request and hit send. Then reached for his desk phone.]
It will take a few minutes. I'll have them bring up tea.
no subject
And how long have you known about it?
[How long did you wait before calling him, he means.]
no subject
I did not start to consider it note worthy until the first death from the 2nd Northumberland Fusiliers.
[There was no apology in his voice. Mycroft had his own internal criteria for what triggered a sense of importance and up until that particular death, he had simply noted it and passed it over as being Doctor Watson's personal business.]
no subject
Have you explored the possibility that this is connected to John - because John is connected to me?
[Is it Moriarty?]
no subject
[Just the one word as it covered questions both spoken and unspoken. Yes, he'd explored the possibility, no he hadn't been able to find a direct connection.
However, he hadn't been able to rule out a connection, either.]
no subject
Look, I know how you love to watch me work. But since this is personal, why don't you just tell me everything you've done rather than making me ask?
[There was a stressed tone, though he was trying to keep it civil. The problem is: this involved John, which made it personal.]
