I'm not exactly sure of your taste, but is there anything you might be wanting for Christmas this year? I think I might be able to find you some books that you haven't got yet, but I'm not sure exactly what your interest might be. Care to give me some ideas?

Private text to Irene
Been doing some Christmas shopping. Not sure if you've got anything in mind for what you want, but some ideas would be appreciated. For you and Sherlock. Your tastes are closer to his than mine are... Would you mind helping me find something? I'd like to get him something practical but.. perhaps a little more sentimental than that. You know how he is.

Finding anything in your size is next to impossible. Do you know that?

That's why I get everything tailored.

You could ask for my measurements.
worldsonly: distortedenigma @lj (do u liek ur coffee jawn :))

[personal profile] worldsonly 2013-12-05 09:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Why not ask for every measurement, so I couldn't possibly deduce what specifically you'll be getting?

I mean, I will anyway, but I can play nice.

Please, I am a detective with a staggering intellect and the ability to infer practically anything from observable evidence.

Certainly.

[ As it just so happens books are about the only thing he ever requests for christmas. ]

I like any kind of mystery, generally. I also like non-fiction, and sometimes science fiction. But not often.

[ Except that he does actually really like sci-fi things. ]

Not really. Just no biographies.

Oh no, Mr. Watson, that's really not necessary! You don't need to get me anything.

A Christmas gift? For me?

[ underneath her usual wry tone was a note of genuine surprise. ]

I suppose I hadn't thought of it, for either of us. I don't usually celebrate.

[ she's touched, a little bit. so, she will help you. ]

.. I was telling the truth when I said I like detective stories. Books, for me. You can't find a book that Sherlock hasn't read, at least not here. I would recommend experiment tools - beakers, chemicals, a bit more than your basic lab kit, however. That, or a violin, if he does not have it already.

[ but of course, John would already know what she said next: ]

It helps him think.

Something functional would be best.

[ but she's glad to be of help. actually, she's more glad that he asked. ]

[ she's quiet for a few minutes, thinking about it. ]

I like to read. [ but of course you know that. ] I've been rather bored since I arrived here. I also like puzzles - word games, sudoku, that sort of thing.

They help pass the time; and time is something I seem to have a lot of, recently. I'm not entirely certain how Mr. Holmes is managing his boredom.. I'm stuck with mine.

[ a beat. ]

I .. also enjoy cooking. Or I have been enjoying it, recently.

French, mostly. I've been to France many times and I always enjoyed the food. I also bake, however.

.. Perhaps.

[ it honestly hadn't occurred to her anyone might want to try it. ]

What sort of thing do you like?
