The curious case of Mary Morstan.

Curious indeed.

[A slight smile.]

[holmesly.livejournal.com]

I take it you didn't have any other plans for tonight?

Um. Typist actually loves this book so much. <3

[no-motherhen.livejournal.com]

[It is a serious instacrush, to be sure.]

Absolutely none. The poor girl - she needs our help.

It's so good ♥ The handholding and fhkhaskfjhs :3

[holmesly.livejournal.com]

Indeed she does.

Very orderly, too. Most don't provide me with so much from the start. I have a lot to go on.

omg srsly Watson's a major moosh XD

[no-motherhen.livejournal.com]

Yes, yes. She's incredibly thorough, isn't she ... If anything, we need to put her mind at ease. It's not right she be so troubled.

ia so much. I love it. :c

[holmesly.livejournal.com]

Indeed, Watson, it's not right at all. And I we shall solve it for her. You should rest up, it has potential to be a long night.

:D <3

[no-motherhen.livejournal.com]

- Yes. You're right. Well-rested.

[Distracted? Not at all.]

I don't know if I could possibly rest, you know.

[holmesly.livejournal.com]

I know how you become if you strain yourself though. If we're to be out all night, you need your energy so you can keep up.

Have a cup of tea.

[no-motherhen.livejournal.com]

I suppose you're right. It wouldn't do my leg any good to put it through unnecessary stress.

Tea is a wonderful idea. Would you like any?

[holmesly.livejournal.com]

Indeed.

I would! I must go over the letters she brought, after all.

[no-motherhen.livejournal.com]

Right. I'll go get that started. ... If you need any assistance, don't hesitate to ask, yes?

[holmesly.livejournal.com]

I'll be in the study. You're free to sit with me, if you can put up with me talking to myself as you rest.

[no-motherhen.livejournal.com]

It wouldn't be a hassle at all.

[Nothing in this case is a hassle. Nothing.]

I'll be right back..

[holmesly.livejournal.com]

Thank you, Watson.

[no-motherhen.livejournal.com]

[There is nothing wrong with it. It's added motivation.]

Right then.

[And he's off. To make tea.]

[holmesly.livejournal.com]

[no-motherhen.livejournal.com]

[After a decent amount of time needed to make tea, instacrush Watson is returned to his spot, setting the cups down. He sits back comfortably with the paper - now and then glancing at Holmes as if willing him to say something about how they can help.]

[holmesly.livejournal.com]

[no-motherhen.livejournal.com]

[Right. He goes into silent but distracted side-kick mode, drinking tea and reading the paper. Hopefully he gets no papers, that would take away from his handholding skills. He might wear gloves. To keep his hands soft until needed.]

[holmesly.livejournal.com]

What is the time, Watson?

[no-motherhen.livejournal.com]

Hmm?

[He'd gotten so used to the silence that the speaking startles him.]

Oh - I do believe it's five to six.

[holmesly.livejournal.com]

Five to six...very well. We should be getting ready, then. She should be here shortly.

[no-motherhen.livejournal.com]

[He pauses momentarily and then blinks.]

Yes, you're right.

[He sets down the paper and stands, straightening out his clothes so they are in prime condition.]
