Ms Adler. If you've experienced any particularly grievous injuries over the last couple of years before your arrival here, be prepared to deal with them again. Don't bother with the hospital, obviously, it'll be full of idiots coming in to cry about papercuts and old stove burns.

If not, it would perhaps be in Shinichi's best interest if you looked after him for the next few days. John is -- not well, and I don't -- ggnk --

[ there's a clatter, then the sound of violent choking for several seconds as well as a scratching, as if fingers were being scrabbled over the surface of the phone, until it disconnects and sends the audio. unfortunately (or fortunately?) for Sherlock, the buttons he unintentionally selected were for the public option. ]

action.

[ she doesn't even dignify that with a response, instead rounding the next corner to where their house was and not even bothering to knock - she tries the handle, finds it unlocked and pushes the door open, bursting into the hall and lo--

oh. there he was.

she dropped down to the floor next to him, feigning an exasperated sigh. ]


You know, all the dramatics are getting a bit old.

[ have an offered hand. ]

[ she reaches for him with her other hand, gently tipping his chin up so she can examine his neck, though she doesn't touch. tsk, tsk. ]

Raise your arms, put your hands on your head. It'll help you breathe.

[ don't ask how she knows. maybe she's had similar bruises before. ]

It's not. Not yet. But it will be.

[ sorry, she's not falling for that. but, she will sit herself next to him without heed for her white skirt, avoiding jabbing him in the side. ]

Lifting your arms raises your ribcage, it allows your lungs more space to expand when you breathe.

[ because he's an insufferable know-it-all and would probably want to know why. ]

Somehow I'm less than surprised.

[ two can play that game. but if he's insufferable, she's equally so at times, so they really can't compete. it doesn't bother her to just sit here, next to him, until he feels he's ready to stagger to his feet. ]

Where is the good Doctor? In bed?

[ she follows behind him when he stands and hesitates, before pressing a hand against his back to steady him. she's eyeing the marks herself, much harder when he's not on the ground. ]

What happened?

[ to john, to him. and why was she still ok? ]

Old wounds.

[ she's pale, suddenly, though she doesn't offer any sort of explanation. perhaps she'd gotten off lucky, this time. ]

Could have been much worse, I imagine. Still, you ought to have a cup of tea. I'll put it on.

[ let's just .. bustle into the kitchen before he uses that ridiculously keen brain of his. ]

We are English, aren't we?

[ come now, sherlock, don't stoop to denying tea.

she sets the kettle on, pulling out two mugs and teabags for herself as though she owns the place (though she doesn't, she knows where everything is), and nudges a chair out at the table for him. the look she throws him is clear - sit. now. ]


Did you find him? After he was .. reinjured?
