A new home away from home.

I'm not entirely thrilled about this move, I'll have you know.
If you ask me, it all looks to be just about the same.
So long as I have all my things though... I believe I may be able to settle in without much of a fuss.

Just leave me alone.
There's work to be done.

So you don't consider anyone who actually knows you and – most importantly – puts up with you to be a friend, yet you expect to befriend complete strangers.






I see.

[Well now if you're going to put it like that, it just sounds awful.]



A bit not good then..?

[No, obviously not. But he's still skeptical.]

Oh don't look at me like that. Of all people, I'd at least expect you to understand.

[notjustasidekick]

Actually – [pause.] I think I do.

[It is actually a well-known fact that any time someone fully understands Sherlock Holmes, the likelihood that the person in question is mentally disturbed increases a little bit. Things do not bode well for a one John Watson.]

I'm not entirely sure what that says about me.

[Oh how he just LOVES IT when he's right about something. The detective's smile alone should be enough to say 'told you so'. It's not really a surprise though, John always was the only one who actually got him.]

It speaks in volumes actually.
All good things of course, I assure you.

[Watson tries to cast Sherlock a withering glance but only manages to look vaguely amused, instead. He's a doctor, not an actor, after all.]

If you say they're good things then I think I should worry a bit more!

[deducing_freak]

[Tries. It's hard to stay upset at him. Like a gift and a curse. But Sherlock benefits from it so you'll not hear him complain. Unlike some doctor he knows..]

What's so bad about if I'm the one who considers it good or not?
