[super_sleuth]

Hmm. Bit awkward, this.

I don't wish to perform for you, but since this is a Mun-Muse relationship I don't suppose I have a choice, do I?

Right, then. Find something for me to do.

....

When you're ready, of course. But do be quick about it.

Isn't patience a virtue?

[super_sleuth]

Patience is just something that many men are willing to commend but the truly clever will not suffer it. Patience means being content with waiting and waiting means lack of action.

[morewidows]

And you fancy yourself among those who are clever and of action?

[super_sleuth]

[Said matter-of-factly]

No.

I don't "fancy" myself such, I am such.

[boughtabookstore]

Bored?

[wealldosillythings]

[Something to do?] You can have me.

....

I mean, hi, Sherlock.

[super_sleuth]

All of this quiet. Isn't it hateful?

[super_sleuth]

[Distractedly]

Molly.

[wealldosillythings]

H-How are you?

[morewidows]

[Such a charmer, Sherlock!]

Do you believe being so demanding of them will get the results you want when you want them?

[super_sleuth]

Please don't attempt to engage me in idle conversation, you know I find that irritating.

[super_sleuth]

I could be subtle but I'm quite certain nobody would get the hint.

[morewidows]

It is a shame, isn't it? If you're up front, you can be perceived as rude, but if you try your hardest to give hints, one could claim one was "oblivious" the entire time.

[super_sleuth]

Most people see me as rude. If they thought me a saint it wouldn't make a penny's worth of a difference.

[morewidows]

Oh no, what other people think rarely makes a difference in most situations.

[...though, with the golf balls...]

[super_sleuth]

What people think is often wrong.

[morewidows]

And yet, we are still people ourselves.

[wealldosillythings]

Right. S-Sorry... Was just asking to be nice.

Got any cases, then? [Sherlock loves talking about work, doesn't he?]

[super_sleuth]

As an unfortunate matter of technicality, yes.

[super_sleuth]

[Dryly]

I wouldn't be requesting a diversion if I had any, now, would I?

[morewidows]

My mundane tells me you're Sherlock Holmes. It's truly an honor to make your acquaintance, sir. I am Morticia Addams.

[super_sleuth]

"Morticia".

A stage name?

[morewidows]

[She quirks a perfectly manicured eyebrow at that.]

No, that is my name. Morticia. A family name, most likely.

[super_sleuth]

I could not conceive of a logical reason that any mother would name her daughter Morticia.

[morewidows]

[So judgmental!]

It suits me, and I quite love my name, thank you. There are many names that would seem strange to most others not in our family, but that is of little concern.

You said it yourself, did you not, that other people's thoughts don't make a difference?
