Prompt from Embracetheweird: What are you looking at?
"What are you looking at?"
"Well…you appear to have slammed your face in the bedroom door. Can you see out of your eye at all?"
"Very funny, Watson"
"What happened?"
"I cannot tell you."
"Come, Holmes, it's just a bruise. What happened?"
"It takes up half my face! I look ghastly! And the story is insulting! Inform Mycroft I shan't be able to attend the gala with him this evening. He shall have to suffer through it with you as his sole companion."
"How kind."
"Look at it, Watson! All black and purple. I never expected such violence from a woman!"
"You're saying a woman did this to you?"
"It was a mistake! A rare slip up! I accused her of leaving her husband for the butcher when in fact it was her husband that had left her! How was I to know she would use her purse as a weapon? I could have died."
"I do think you are taking this a tad too far. I fear your ego is far more bruised than your face."
"A woman, Watson! A woman!"
"Mr. Holmes, your brother is here to- good gracious! Are you quite alright?"
"A WOMAN."
