And yet your opinion is hardly the one of consequence here. I'll call my father.

[notapsychopath.livejournal.com]

Is he as eloquent as you? [He looks amused. And he is, incidentally, genuinely impressed.]

[bravediogenes.livejournal.com]

You'll soon find he outstrips me.

[notapsychopath.livejournal.com]

Fantastic. I look forward to meeting him. Intelligent conversation that I don't have to crick my neck downwards for will be so refreshing. [That was a compliment- as well as a barb about Diogenes' relative height and youth.]

[We'd expect no less from Sherlock!] It's prudent to warn you that most of your discourse may be with the barrel of a gun.

[notapsychopath.livejournal.com]

Even better. I haven't faced the threat of being shot for three whole days- can you imagine how bored I am?

[bravediogenes.livejournal.com]

You're a very odd person. [Considering most of Diogenes' relatives are completely insane, including a favorite aunt who poisoned her entire family over dinner, that's saying something coming from him.]

[notapsychopath.livejournal.com]

I should certainly hope so. Sherlock Holmes.

Diogenes Pendergast. [There's a moment of hesitation as Diogenes studies him with distrust.] I'd appreciate it if you told me what you were looking for.

Okay, so- haven't a clue what's in Diogenes' house. Any ideas?

[notapsychopath.livejournal.com]

Diogenes? God. [Mycroft's club's name. Just that is enough to make him grimace.]

God, what isn't in his house?

[bravediogenes.livejournal.com]

There's nothing wrong with my name. I'm quite proud of it.

[The old French manor is, incidentally, an oddity, containing everything from an extensive collection of medieval, renaissance, and modern European artefacts in the living area as well as the Pendergasts' inherited objects – like Comstock Pendergast's old magic-show equipment in the catacombs. Oh yes, and family catacombs.]

Haha. Lovely.

[notapsychopath.livejournal.com]

Mm. Do you live up to it?

[bravediogenes.livejournal.com]

I've yet to deface the currency or reside in a barrel. But I'd be proud to be a Diogenes for the modern age.

[notapsychopath.livejournal.com]

Would you indeed?

Doesn't sound terribly interesting to me. His whole idea of material poverty being some kind of virtue is frankly ridiculous. It's just mildly annoying, that's all.

[bravediogenes.livejournal.com]

Perhaps, but living so contrarily to the expectations of society is what made him notorious, as well as forming the basis for his radical philosophies. I would say he strove to be annoying, which perhaps makes him a better role model for you than me.
