AN: Sorry about the lack of updates recently! But here's part two of the previous chapter. I don't know if I'm pleased with it – seems a bit flat – but I didn't want to keep you guys waiting longer!
Disclaimer: I do not own Sherlock Holmes. John Watson has that honor.

Do you recall that email your sister sent a few weeks ago?
SH
3:25
How could I forget?! And why are you asking? I thought we agreed not to talk about it.
JW
3:26
Well you're memory isn't as impeccable as mine, so I was simply double-checking. And I don't recall agreeing to any such thing.
SH
3:26
You did. We were having tea that night and I was deleting the email and I said "We don't ever mention this again" and you nodded and said "Mmhmm"
JW
3:27
I wasn't agreeing with you! I was confirming that man's answer to the trivia question on the telly – don't you remember? The question was about the source of Ricin. Honestly, John - you should pay more attention.
SH
3:28
I give up. What do you want? You texted me about it for a reason. Don't tell me she sent something else!
JW
3:29
I won't.
SH
3:29
Damn, Sherlock - did she or didn't she? Don't be a prat - I've already got a headache.
JW
3:30
She didn't.
SH
3:31
Thank god. So what's this about, then?
JW
3:31
I doubt god had anything to do with it. I'm simply conducting more research on the matter.
SH
3:32
Wait - what?! You mean you've been looking at more of those sites and that Tumble stuff?
JW
3:32
Tumblr, John. The website is called Tumblr. And, yes I have.
SH
3:33
WHY?!
JW
3:33
No need to shout. Because I'm intrigued. Our fans seem to have a unique ability to apply psychoanalysis to sexual kinks.
SH
3:34
And why is that interesting to you? What's even the point!?
JW
3:35
It might be useful someday. Passion is a key culprit in crime and I make it a priority to have a firm understanding of the many ways in which passion might manifest itself.
SH
3:36
Right. Okay. I'm not having this conversation. I'm tired and I've got an enormous pile of paperwork on my desk. Talk to Billy or something.
JW
3:36
Mrs. Hudson has taken him again. Besides, I need your feedback.
SH
3:37
Well that's new. Fine – seeing as I can't shut you up – go ahead.
JW
3:38
Excellent. Most of the kinks I've come across are those that do in-fact apply to us. Gunplay, knife-play, and a variety of BSDM. These of course all make sense – with your military history it's an easy leap.
SH
3:39
Wait- hang on! Just because I've handcuffed you once or twice doesn't mean I'm into BSDM!
JW
3:39
John, don't be obtuse. It's not all sex clubs and long black whips. You enjoy bondage, domination, submission and you're a bit of a masochist. The same applies to myself as well.
SH
3:40
Sherlock, you're way off. I'm not – well – any of those things!
JW
3:41
Remember when I told you not to be obtuse, John? You were a Captain. You enjoy being in control.
SH
3:42
Well maybe that bit – but I'm not a masochist!
JW
3:42
I could argue that point simply by listing your home address. But if you require further proof then I shall point your memory in the direction of last week when you seemed to thoroughly enjoy me ramming you against the kitchen wall.
SH
3:43
You know what? Let's just move on. I'm not in the mood to argue.
JW
3:44
You mean I'm right but your pride won't allow you to admit it.
SH
3:45
No, Sherlock. You're the prideful one of the two of us. But seriously – let's move on. Please.
JW
3:46
Certainly. Some of the other's I've come across aren't kinks we possess that I'm aware of – hence the reason I need your feedback.
SH
3:46
Oh sure – just quiz me about bedroom stuff when I'm up to my eyes in paperwork. Perfectly normal.
JW
3:47
If you're up to your eyes in paper work then how are you texting?
SH
3:48
It's a figure of speech you bastard! Just get on with it.
JW
3:49
This would be much easier if you were being a willing participant.
SH
3:49
Sorry to be such a let-down. Guess you'll just have to muddle through.
JW
3:50
I suppose there are other methods of gathering my data.
SH
3:51
And what are they? Not that I really want to know – but since you brought it up.
JW
3:51
Experimentation.
SH
3:52
I'm not following.
JW
3:53
Isn't that par the course?
SH
3:54
Sherlock! Just explain please so we can finish this conversation faster.
JW
3:55
Think, John. I need data on your kinks. What sort of experiments might provide my desired information?
SH
3:59
Oh. Right. Experiments.
JW
3:59
I knew you'd catch on eventually.
SH
4:00
I'll be home at my usual time, then. Love you.
JW
4:01
I know.
SH
If convenient please review; if inconvenient review anyway.
