*Giggle*

"I'm writing a novel."

I raised my eyebrows at this declaration. "What about?"

"The injustice of friendship. A beautiful concept really."

"Holmes, if this is about me refusing to participate in that experiment of yours…"

"No, no! Not at all. I am simply writing a discussion on the pros and cons of companionship and the possible rivalries and betrayals that may ensue."

"Betrayal? What on earth are you talking about? I have in no way betrayed you! The experiment involved me jumping off London Bridge!"

"My book will also include a chapter on the rules of friendship. Favors and teamwork being the title."

I rolled my eyes, "I apologize for my inconvenient lack of cooperation."

"A chapter on forgiving the sinner will also be included. Whether to place it before or after the one on revenge, I am undecided."

"Really, Holmes! Is this absolutely necessary?"

"Necessary only in the fact that it is the only antidote to my bruised intelligence and a knife wound to my friendly relationships. Would you like me to send you a copy when it's completed? I promise all names and personality similarities not to coincidental. There is even a slight, so very small chance I hardly dare count it, possibility that one of the main character studies will be named after you."

"Holmes! This is blackmail!"
