Having seen Game of Shadows...

[insists]

I won't say I'm not surprised. I'd really have thought that Mr Holmes would have been far more to your tastes.

Only you seem to be formidable enough for that task. And our long-suffering Mrs Hudson.

[There's no need to say it, and she doesn't have to be Sherlock to read it in him.] Has you writer been treating you well?

[notjustasidekick]

So far, yes. Unfortunately I am still a stranger to it all. She only let herself create this so-called "journal" for me a few days ago after over a month's longing so I can't yet say what silly plans of hers will befall me.

But you, my dear Mary, are as new to your own writer as I am mine. I hope you don't share that space in her head with any unsavory characters.

There are some a proper lady could never be seen in the company of. But it is just your luck I am not quite the proper lady.

[;; don't be so adorable, Mary]

I'm not sure whether I find that comforting or more worrying!

[insists]

[you stop it first, John.]

My writer promises I am in no danger, dearest. She says she will put the fear of you into them.

[notjustasidekick]

Ah, ease my worries and inflate my ego – it's not often those two things coincide. I think I like this writer of yours.

[He's joking, of course.]

[insists]

She is quite fond of you too, you know.

[notjustasidekick]

She is obviously very sensible. [Anyone who picks Mary over Sherlock is though. Probably. wait that wasn't supposed to be a reflection of Watson's own sensibleness.]

I think you're in good hands.
