You just can't give that up, can you? You even went as far as to change my user name.

Just because I happen to share a few interests with Holmes and perhaps one or two character traits does not make me related to him. Don't get me wrong-I'm thrilled to get to be associated with the legendary detective in any way but this isn't exactly what I had in mind. I want to be just like Sherlock Holmes, not be his son.

And before you say anything, there's nothing wrong with a parents I have now. ...Although, I guess it would be pretty cool to be Holmes' kid.

[Her smile is sharp, pleased. He's as easy to provoke as Sherlock.]

And yet you're doing exactly as I expected. Does that say more about your 'advantage' or mine?

[ It's that insatiable desire to always be right. ]

Just because I've played one card, doesn't mean I've played them all.

[ Except that he kind of has-or any card he could play. ]

[Runs in the family, etc etc.]

Tsk tsk, dear. You're sounding as defensive as he is. It gives you away. That you don't actually have any cards left at all.

[consultantsson]

That's not always true you know, I often allow others to think I'm out of options as it helps to get them to lower their guard- really useful if a gun is pointed at you.

[ Though in this case, yeah. Out of options. ]

[womanwhobeatyou]

And continuing to argue the point adds to the defensiveness. If I had been merely trying to call your bluff to begin with, this would have solidified it.

[A laugh.] But I suppose I can't fault you for it. He never learned when to quit either.

Who says I'm being defensive? It's not like I have any reason to be-You're not likely to hurt me and what could you have to blackmail a seven year old about?
