[goodoldfashionedvillain]

You think you've really got it then, you've got the words down, the style down. You know what it is that makes me tick, know what it is that makes my blood burn -- aren't you overestimating yourself, just a little?

I certainly hope that you do not disappoint me.

[Mycroft sounds bored.]

You're not that complex. Since "Sherlock" is the answer to each of those....

[goodoldfashionedvillain]

Being presumptuous are we. Be it as it may, there are...other things.

Perhaps not as exciting, perhaps not as interesting.

But there are other things.

[mycroft_holmes]

[Mycroft chuckles, though it's not quite amused.]

Other things? You honestly expect me to believe that after... Well. After.

[goodoldfashionedvillain]

[ He knows that chuckle, he can sense the uneasiness, and he smiles at it, relishing in it. ]

He's a hobby. A source of entertainment. Some have their needlepoint, I ...well. I prefer other things. More interesting things.

[mycroft_holmes]

[Now, Mycroft rolls his eyes.]

You're quite transparent. I don't know what my brother saw in you.

[goodoldfashionedvillain]

Transparent, [ He makes a sound at the back of his throat, dismissal evident in his voice. ] don't insult me now.

Perhaps he sees in me what he sees in himself.

[mycroft_holmes]

He is rather transparent himself....

[He'll stick with the theme, it's an acceptable one.]

[goodoldfashionedvillain]

Perhaps you're used to it. Growing up with him and all. Should tell me another story, Mycroft, I love your stories.

[mycroft_holmes]

Love them so much, you blew your brains out.

[Well, Mycroft knows he didn't, but it's more fun this way.]

[goodoldfashionedvillain]

[ He laughs, can't help it really. ]

That's rich. You honestly think faking my own death is hard? When I've made so many other men disappear? Oh no, it's quite easy...

[mycroft_holmes]

[He sighs.]

You are so very predictable. Boring.

[And exceedingly easy to get worked up.]

[goodoldfashionedvillain]

Don't insult me, Mycroft.

[ Really. Not a very good idea. ]

[mycroft_holmes]

I had no idea telling the truth would be so insulting.

[His tone sounds so very innocent. It's not. Mycroft knows what he's doing.]

[goodoldfashionedvillain]

[ He chuckles, and just sort of slides the weight from one foot to the other. ]

You always were the more irritating Holmes brother. I miss the fun one. Where's he at?

[mycroft_holmes]

Oh... Lost track of him?

[Mycroft knows he's more irritating because he's the more intelligent.]

[goodoldfashionedvillain]

Oh no, I'm sure I could find him if I so needed.

[ And he sneers. ] Just would rather get it out of you.

[mycroft_holmes]

[He grins.]

Well. Good luck with that. I can't tell you what I don't know.
