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.

You have no power over me.

[holmestheelder]

And here I had the most curious file on my desk.

[highfunctioning_sociopath]

[The tiniest move.]

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

[holmestheelder]

[The barest hint of a smirk.]

'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 :)

[highfunctioning_sociopath]

[As if Sherlock leaves anything to chance.]

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!

[holmestheelder]

[Thus one of the few ways he can keep his eye on his little brother.

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

[highfunctioning_sociopath]

'Moments' meaning too much of your day to mention?

[Well, yes, he's putting words in Mycroft's mouth.]

Why bring me here alone?

Muddle, muddle, muddle!

[holmestheelder]

You are well aware that I hate it when you do that.

[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.

[has_two_wives]

I'm afraid the dancing for whims bit is unavoidable at this stage. And it's high likely this will not be the last of the tediousness you're made to endure.

[highfunctioning_sociopath]

[He more asked to see how Mycroft would react than out of interest. Mycroft did not disappoint.]

I don't work alone anymore, you know that.

[bestprofessional]

Don't you ever think you should give your brother a break. [It isn't a question.]

[holmestheelder]

No.

[It isn't even a hesitation.]

And when last I checked, the sky was still blue, the grass was still green and rabbits went hop. Are we asking any other self explanatory questions tonight, Detective Inspector?

[holmestheelder]

I do not do whims.

[Don't mind him, he's studying you a bit closely.]

You appear a bit out of the wrong time.

/gently slides in here

[alldeduction]

For once, Mycroft, I have to agree.

Tell your mundane to keep you as far from the City as possible, and perhaps I can continue to work in peace without your incessant interference.

[bestprofessional]

That'll be all. Sir.

[God damn you Holmes brothers, messing up his life.]

[has_two_wives]

You do not or you prefer not?

[ Looking a tad affronted by the accusation of his time being 'wrong'. ]

It's the perfectly right time as far as I'm concerned. Perhaps it's your time that's mistaken.

[holmestheelder]

Yes, true. You work quite closely with Doctor John Watson of the Fifth Northumberland Fusiliers.

[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.]

[highfunctioning_sociopath]

[Oh the temptation. Sherlock is fighting it hard and fails. So many possibilities where John is concerned.]

Is John in danger?

[That is really the only question that matters to Sherlock right now.]

Come to meeeeee

[holmestheelder]

[He'll take a moment to wrap his mind around those words coming from your mouth Sherlock.]

You know it disturbs me when you agree with me, Sherlock. It is unnatural.

However if you are going to tempt me with the promise of maintaining an eye on your proclivities, I might have to consider this City. Simply to ensure you do not risk boredom.

[holmestheelder]

I fail to see a difference.

[Oh how amusing. Were he given to such acts, Mycroft might smile.]

And pray tell, what would be the 'right' time as far as you are concerned?

[holmestheelder]

[It is assuredly a hobby Lestrade.]

You disappoint me, Detective Inspector. No follow up on your concern for my little brother?

[bestprofessional]

I don't exactly need your help being concerned for him. [He crosses his arms, defensively. These Holmes brothers and their mindreading abilities make him so uncomfortable.]

:D

[alldeduction]

Of course, wouldn't want you feeling uncomfortable.

[A small sneer.]

My boredom is not your concern. As for the City, You would find yourself at a loss. A brand new world with absolutely none of your web set up? I doubt you'd last a week.

Perhaps the Porter would be benevolent and grant you the ability to disappear.

[has_two_wives]

'Do not' implies you might have had a choice.

[ Watson here is perfectly given of smiles, when not around someone with the last name of 'Holmes'. Not that he's aware in this case, but maybe he's developed a sixth sense for these things. ]

1891.

[holmestheelder]

Since when do you want your answers on a silver spoon?

[The file is right there, Sherlock, right under Mycroft's fingertips, don't you just want to snatch it?]
