Day 29 - From KnightFury: Coughs, sneezes and a very weary doctor.

It happened most winters, Holmes observed, when the coughing and sneezing increased in the general population, and Watson would go entire weeks without once visiting Baker's Street. When the good doctor finally did make an appearance, he was notably tired, dark circles under his eyes, footsteps dragging on the floor, and his hand futility hiding a yawn.

"You'll run yourself down again, Watson," he observed, offering his friend a cup of tea.

"As if you're one to talk," Watson muttered, gratefully accepting the tea and collapsing into an armchair.

Holmes laughed. "Indeed, we are very similar in our drive, Watson."
