John looked over at the flat's window from where he was nestled in the couch. He watched the faint light coming in from it for a moment, sulking.
"You know, I am aware that I'm shorter than you, Sherlock," John said.
"Yes?" Sherlock's tone was unmistakably amused.
"And I've had no problem with that," John continued. "So Sherlock Holmes is a few inches taller than John Watson. Okay, I'm fine with that. No big deal."
Sherlock gave no response. John could imagine him, just out of view, grinning to himself.
"But, the thing is…" John said, "This, well, this is just ridiculous! And completely unfair."
"Life isn't fair," Sherlock replied, and John noted how the light outside seemed to grow brighter for a moment. Did that normally happen when Sherlock spoke?
"Yeah, I know that, but..." John glared out the window, and exclaimed with frustration, "Did they have to make you the dragon?!"
Flames shot past the window as Sherlock laughed.
Just something I'm doing for fun, to pass the time whilst we all wait for The Hobbit to reach theatres. I'll put up a new conversation every month until The Hobbit comes out. Enjoy!
