Apply yourself, please. I shudder to think about the damage Holmes can do without me there to smooth things out.

And don't think I don't see what you're planning, when you're putting your heads together and laughing. Mary is not in India with the tigers or Italy with a count, or any other ridiculous scenario he can conjure up. Don't encourage this sort of thing-- you're as bad as he is, the pair of you.

[ At that, Lestrade can't help but allow himself to look a little more openly amused, as he tips his head a back, a kind of silent well then. ]

Guess that means I should make every effort to be there for the touching reunion. Wouldn't want to miss the show.

Happy to be a source of amusement.
