[cogitates]

It's perfectly reasonable to remain silent while you-- [Handwave.] Dilly about on this pointless escapade.

Regardless of the the fact I'm in your head, you could not possibly think you know enough of anything-- let alone me -- to continue this in any accurate form.

In lieu of not adhering to my request, you are met with a resounding silence.

[A pause. Because this is quite the opposite. He exhales, giving an annoyed look.]

Obviously that does not include-- [Another gesture to encompass this place.]

This.

[A three-foot-tall talking pigeon with vanity eyeglasses seems amused. Probably in general rather than by this.]

Alas, I think silence even here doesn't quite have the effect. Though I've really only seen it from people who don't speak much anyway.

[gregson]

Is your main objection that they're not up to your standards, and not, I don't know, an existential one?

oh. OH. please come see us!

[herrin]

And do you honestly think that your silence will accomplish anything? Naive, isn't it?

[ how amusing. ]

What is it exactly that you're being silent about, then?

[designates]

To some, silence is a sign of respect. [ playing with his glasses, folding them and unfolding them, doing all he can to avoid the gaze of the other man. ] To others; compliance.

I believe the phrase is "speak now, or forever hold your peace." [ smiling down at his glasses, though he's anything but amused. ] Though I don't think where you're... we're going will be very peaceful.

[wealldosillythings]

Good luck! Uh, with...whatever you and your mun are doing.

[usually_subtext]

A resounding silence. Oh how I have so often wished for one of those...

[Not really. He misses his Sherlock ridiculously.]

[avoirfaim]

Would you say there is quite a lot going on in your own head, Mr. Holmes? Or is your aversion more akin to claustrophobia?
