I think you're taking "side of the angels" a bit literally.
She's going to give me wings. Little, supposedly brown wings.
Wings.
[Because she at least will understand the absurdity of this. Not that he's letting his bafflement show much.]
Actual, attached, functioning wings. Well, functioning so much as reactionary movement goes. Incapable of flight, I understand.

Yes. Some "community" she's rather attached to.
[ blink ]
And they have angels there?
And they have angels there?
All I know is that I'm getting little brown wings that can't even enable flight shoved onto my back with no way of removing them.
[Excuse him, he's nearly doubled over with laughter. Because it's an absolutely priceless joke.]
[She's taken aback for a moment by the idea, but attaching the idea to Sherlock Holmes just makes her laugh.]
Will you be satisfied with that answer or will you insist on testing out their flight capability on your own, I wonder?

I will take nothing as fact until it's proven as fact.
And if they do prove to be useless "limbs," then I shall simply have a doctor amputate.

[Let him just check something in that harddrive that is his mind...
Right.
Yep.
Still hate you.]

[If that was supposed to make her stop laughing, Sherlock, you chose the wrong thing to say. Because now she's imagining you with wings jumping off things trying to fly.]
John's agreeing to performing purely cosmetic amputations for you? My but he does love you.

[Like Hell he's going to talk about some of the weaknesses those wings come with. If they don't offer flight? He is not putting up with that.
...Actually, he is. But he's in denial.]
They are an unnecessary growth and potentially harmful. The only responsible thing to do is to remove them.
[So very like a petulant child sometimes, this one.]

[Yes he does. It's enough to make her want to offer to spank him.]
You should at least give them a chance, Mr. Holmes. They might go with the funny hat.

As long as they aren't plaid.
If they are? I don't care if I can fly. They will come off.

[Touched a nerve there, Sherlock?]
And what, pray tell, is the difference?

[He hates that stupid hat with a passion.]
Vanity is excessive, all-consuming. Obsessive.
Vanity is excessive, all-consuming. Obsessive.
And your feelings about the funny hat are...?
I have, and I recall texting you exactly what I thought of it.
Doesn't make your feelings any less 'excessive, all-consuming, or obsessive'.

But the hat, I can take off. Things that are attached that have the same hideous pattern? I am allowed to hate even more strongly.
And what higher power have you offended to gain this as a punishment?
