YOU GUYS SEE WHAT I DID THERE
Intimidation Factor
John's attention was yanked away from a lovingly-cared for, signed copy of The Hobbit by a bell he heard rung in the far corner of the room. He looked to Mycroft questioningly. The elder Holmes brother said, "Dinner. We have a system of bells to alert guests as to when meals are ready."
John felt panic settle in his stomach. "Where's Sherlock? Your mother promised he'd stay with me—"
Mycroft smirked. "John, please, you sound like a nervous schoolgirl at her first dance."
"I'm a little intimidated."
Mycroft raised an eyebrow sardonically.
"…Okay, I'm really intimidated," John admitted sheepishly.
Prompt was from my dad, and it was "Panic."
