"Hm?"

John sat at the table with his laptop, while Sherlock slouched in his chair flipping idly through NOW magazine.

"Ridiculous blog comment."

Sherlock rolled his eyes.

"'sherlock means blonde lol ' and then a link to . . . oh a picture of you with blond hair. How do I delete— Did you reply, Sherlock? Seriously?"

"They're wrong! People always get it wrong. 'Sher' comes from the old English 'scir' which means 'shining' or 'bright'! It means 'shining hair'! Don't delete my comment!" He stomped off.

"Well . . ." John smiled slowly. "That would explain the women's shampoo in the shower."
