after the longest internal debate of three sodding months

[indispensable]

I would say its about time. Then again, the ending was always quite obvious.

Now please toddle along back to your life; I've got better things to do than babysit a girl who is clearly quite over her head.

I've been saying the same thing for months. Doesn't work, I'm afraid.

[indispensable]

My mun is not your mun, Doctor Watson. Ergo, they are different and react differently.

[sirblogsalot]

I'm sure you've been watching this place like you do everywhere else. So tell me, how many of these muns actually back off when asked to?

[indispensable]

A fair few.

[But the number is never promising.]

[sirblogsalot]

And you think yours will be one of them?

[womanwhobeatyou]

Is babysitting your little brother more than enough?

[indispensable]

He is a handful.

[That should be more than enough.]

[womanwhobeatyou]

[Smirking.]

So you can't handle the addition of a girl who is so 'clearly over her head'. How surprising, Mr. Holmes.

[indispensable]

There is no need to look over a child who is worthless overall.

[Not that he means you, Adler, but you know. People.]

She might want to go back to debating.

[indispensable]

It would be for our best interests.

[you_dont_work_alone]

Well, now that she has you, what will you do?

[indispensable]

Try to avoid all the clutter, I suppose. [Makes an annoyed face.] It is a rather terrible mess up here.

[A supposedly very dead Sherlock is smoking in a dark corner. He exhales before commenting, very softly, almost as if he is a ghost.]

They never listen.

[indispensable]

[...well this is awkward.]

That does seem to be the case. [Pause.] Unfortunately.

[highfunctioning_sociopath]

[Not awkward - yet. Sherlock hasn't punched him or otherwise throttled him for selling his life-story to Moriarty. He drops the butt and puts it out with the toe of his shoe.]

It's only unfortunate if your writer is less than understanding.

[indispensable]

It doesn't matter if she is or not; this is still rather undesirable either way.

[seesobserves]

Chin up, Mycroft. I'm sure the Commonwealth is capable of running itself for a day or two.

[indispensable]

[Annoyed face.]

I have better things to do than to be latched to a child who doesn't know what she wants.

[seesobserves]

Yet here you are. [Sherlock spreads his hands, then checks his watch and pulls an affected expression of concern.] Tea with the French ambassador at... 3:15, was it?

[indispensable]

[ugh don't remind him Sherlock |:]

3:05, actually. But that's not the point.

[wealldosillythings]

Mr. Holmes, surely you know that muns very rarely listen...

[indispensable]

This one does.

[wealldosillythings]

[Lucky bastard.]

Oh. Well....good to hear.

[indispensable]

[He just knows how to get his way.]

It's not too hard once you know how to handle them.
