[ irene adler is holding holmes' pipe between her teeth. it's perhaps a sign of her nerves that she isn't even the least bit smug about it, but that's nothing she'll admit to. ]

I'd like to talk to my Sherlock, if you please. And the good doctor as well. Though I do suppose I may as well invite the whole mess of you into this discussion, as you'll no doubt find your way into it regardless.

Have you a Sherlock, Miss Irene?

[ She seems vaguely amused by the prospect, though it's mostly curiosity that colors her expression. ]

[jilt]

Oh I do. The largest and most disagreeable one is the one I've laid claim to.

[wont]

Why would you want one, then? [ Genuine curiosity. She cares very much about the things Miss Adler says and everything is a lesson. ]

[ Not here ]

[theblogger]

[ Yep. Although he'll probably, possibly just be watching. He hasn't quite met this Irene yet, has he? ]

[jilt]

[ hi watson hi ]

[pocketfulofsouls]

Which one's yours? Long and curly or stubby and stubbly?

[consulting]

Is that how we're being defined?

[pocketfulofsouls]

I was going to go for Larry, Curly, and Moe, but I didn't think she'd get it.

[jilt]

The extremely unkempt one.

[pocketfulofsouls]

Is it time for his flea dip?

[saidhe]

Irene.

[ His tone is warning. Because she has it AGAIN. But she's palpably off her game, and it doesn't take much to piece together the cause therein. Basically, his emotions don't really know what to do. His answer is therefore cryptic. ]

Ah, I suppose it was a matter of time before it showed up. Got to it before me, I see, but I would really prefer you not to have touched without my express consultation. Scarcely in the cards, that idea.

[ and that prompts a smile, something sweet and innocent as she works the pipe to the other side of her mouth before speaking. ]

And what recommendation would I have received had I asked your advice?

[ B| not like he doesn't know........... ]

What is it I may help you with?

[jilt]

Have you an aversion to speaking, doctor?

[ if she ruffles his feathers she wants to see. :c ]

[doctorings]

[ B( FINE. he switches to video. are you happy now??? he just doesn't like this ok. ]

Text is a more familiar sort of comfort. But, if you prefer this means... I suppose it would be terribly rude to not comply.

[voice]

[jurisimpudent]

May I ask you a question?

[jilt]

You can certainly ask. I reserve the right to tender you an answer if I find it impertinant.

[consulting]

Be concise, Ms. Adler.

SH

[jilt]

Say please, Mister Holmes.

[ it's true, trolling sherlocks does make her feel better ]

Your Sherlock.

Implying there's more than one.

[jilt]

Three, at last count.

[jilt]

Something problematic has arrived from home.

[ and out of all of them, it is this girl who receives the truth of the matter. because she is kindred, and lying to her is the same as lying to herself. ]

text forever; i'm on hiatus but fuck missing out on this

[logicals]

You don't get the privacy of one Sherlock any more. You have to cope with all three of us or none.

curls around forever

[jilt]

I wasn't aware you'd formed such an alliance.
