AN: Sorry about the sporadic updates guys! I've got a couple more chps planned out though so it should get more consistent. I hope. Can any of you guess the cannon case they're referring to here?
Disclaimer: I don't own Sherlock Holmes. John Watson has that honor.
10:12
What are you wearing?
SH
10:13
Excuse me?
JW
10:13
You know I loathe repeating myself John.
SH
10:14
That's not really an appropriate question Sherlock.
JW
10:14
And why not?
SH
10:15
I'm at work.
JW
10:15
Your point?
SH
10:16
You really don't see a problem with this?
JW
10:17
No. I need the information and I'm asking for it.
SH
10:16
And why do you need the information?
JW
10:17
For the case obviously.
SH
10:18
How are my clothes relevant to the case?
JW
10:19
Because I need you to meet someone at a cafe for me when you go to lunch.
SH
10:19
And you need to know what I'm wearing because?
JW
10:20
I need to ensure that your outfit won't be out of place for your cover.
SH
10:21
My cover? Why can't you do it?
JW
10:22
I'm working another angle.
SH
10:23
Fine. What's my cover?
JW
10:24
And what's this about? Who am I meeting and why?
JW
10:25
You're rather prolific with questions today.
SH
10:26
Well I need to be informed if you want me to get any information for you.
JW
10:28
Fine. Check your email. I've sent you full case details.
SH
10:28
Okay - hang on.
JW
10:32
I didn't think you were taking this case. Thought breaking up marriages was below you and a "waste of cognitive power because they'll ruin themselves eventually"
JW
10:33
Are you still upset about that? You know I didn't mean for it to apply to our marriage. Just making a statistically sound observation.
SH
10:33
Yeah I know. Still sounds awful. So what changed your mind?
JW
10:24
In reviewing the information I've decided that it may prove as a small challenge. Better than stagnation.
SH
10:34
Yeah I know. Your mind "rebels" at it. So what information do you need me to get?
JW
10:35
Men often brag to others about their exploits with women. I need you to draw this information out of him and record it on your phone.
SH
10:35
Then we can deliver it to the girl's father?
JW
10:36
Precisely. It should be enough to dissuade her from marrying him.
SH
10:37
And how am I supposed to draw it out of him?
JW
10:37
Simple. Act as though you're of the same caliber.
SH
10:38
You want me to brag about the women I've been with?!
JW
10:39
I'm sure you've got plenty of experience to draw on.
SH
10:40
What's that supposed to mean? Besides I don't like the idea. It's disrespectful to them.
JW
10:41
Such a noble sentiment for John "Three Continents" Watson.
SH
10:42
Oh god - Who told you about that?!
JW
10:43
I've promised to protect my source.
SH
10:43
It was Billy wasn't it?
JW
10:44
I can neither confirm or deny that.
SH
10:44
Sherlock!
JW
10:45
Yes, alright. But he was very intoxicated.
SH
10:46
I'm going to strangle that git! I told them never to bring that up again.
JW
10:46
Don't kill the messenger John. He simply told the stories. They are based on your actions.
SH
10:47
Do I sense some jealousy?
JW
10:48
Don't be ridiculous, John.
SH
10:49
Yep. You're jealous.
JW
10:50
I am most certainly not. You may have spent a night or two with those women but you've agreed to spend your entire life with me.
SH
10:50
True enough. Still think you're jealous.
JW
10:51
Don't you have patients waiting for you or something?
SH
10:51
Green with envy...
JW
10:52
You're impossible.
SH
10:53
Love you too.
JW
If convenient please review; if inconvenient review anyway
