Hello, mun!

I'm really excited you didn't decide to let me stagnate until I quieted down. I've watched that happen to a few others in that 'headspace' of yours, but I think the two of us are getting on fairly well, don't you?

I know that, ultimately, I have no say in where you end up putting me, and I know that your tastes tend to veer on the... darker side of things. But despite that, can you at least put me somewhere where I can do some good and make people happy? It doesn't matter if I know them or not; I'd love to see certain familiar faces, of course, but it's not necessary. There are lots of people in these so-called 'games' that look to be absolutely miserable, and I'd feel a lot better about things if I can put a smile on people's faces.

That's all I wanted to say, mun. Maybe you should get back to work now. Idle hands, and all that.

I like the quiet. I like being able to hear myself think and to take the time to figure things out at my own pace.

... at the same time, if you'd be in trouble without me, you know I would never turn you down.

Well, you won't get any quiet in a game. Though there may be opportunities in other places...

Such as?

[Sherlock sighs heavily.]

What have we just been talking about? I thought you were smart enough to keep up.

You didn't exactly give me any specifics!

I gave you all the specifics you needed.

The only specific you gave me was that you'd be involved in something dark.

... which, fine, I suppose that's specific enough, considering what I'd said earlier.

I also said "no games" and that I have a place. Though, that last one might have been inferred.

... is that some sort of invitation?

[He raises an eyebrow.]

What do you think?

[That wasn't said harshly.]

I think being properly asked to join you on some sort of adventure might be nice. Provided you want me there, of course.

Well, then when an idea for an adventure comes up, consider yourself invited.

[That was more of a grumble. He hates 'manners.']

[She tries not to laugh, really. She fails.]

Thank you. I'll be happy to do what I can to keep you out of too much trouble.

Going by how my writer does things... Trouble has usually already happened...

[He means, it's more the patching up that might be required.]

Then regardless, I'll do what I can. I always have, haven't I?

Well then. Shall we begin?

[It's more of a challenge than an invitation.]

Let's.

[Challenge accepted, Mr. Holmes.]
