Alright. For future reference, talking animals should be a topic addressed when dealing with new-comers. Less important one, yeah, but still worth an honorable mention, I think.

[ A shift here to a musing tone, but anyone who understands the concept of sarcasm is in for a treat. ]

Kidnapped by unseen, malevolent forces, trapped to live in a village in the middle of nowhere with no means of escape, vulnerable to torture, don't fuss with the wings, everything's free... Talking animals.

I just had a squirrel panhandle me for crisps.

Are there any other things I should be prepared to converse with? Are the appliances keeping tabs on what we're getting up to?

Understood.

[Wait for it. Wait for it.]

Not too late. Keep your journal open, though. Just in case.

[...At least he's learning to kind of ask for help sort of.]

[ And John is increasingly trying to keep himself from forcing it on him anyway. Especially considering where they are, how dangerous it seems to be for the both of them. This is him, trusting Sherlock to know better, and respecting his personal space. He's put the offer out there, so the ball is in Sherlock's court now. ]

Will do.

Requests while I'm at the shop?

[It's worth a shot:]

Cigarettes?

You're doing really well.

[notquiteheartless]

Fine.

[It shouldn't be hard to guess that he's sulking.

But not badly. He's not desperate yet.]

E string. If they have one. Never know if one might show up. Mine has about two days left before it breaks.

[ John knows that smoking is probably an eventuality he's going to have to tolerate again. Honestly, he can't much blame the man. But if they can find something worthwhile before things come to drastic measures, it'll be better. ]

I'll look.

[ And if he can't find it, he'll ask after it. Least he can do. ]

Come home with an appetite.

[Poor John. In what world does Sherlock Holmes eat?]

Maybe.

Spying tends to be filling, though.

[Patience and perseverance, and he's at least admitted what he's up to.]

He's been contacting me, you know.

[notquiteheartless]

I'm keeping an eye on him.

Watch your back. Just in case.

What about you?

[ written ] [ locked 80% ]

[notquiteheartless]

He won't do anything to me.

After all, what would he do if I weren't around?

[ written ] [ locked 80% ]

[theblogger]

Not much. I'd

Anything he wanted. Wasn't that the point?

[ written ] [ locked 80% ]

[notquiteheartless]

He'd be even more bored than he already is.

I'm not the one he'd go after.

[It's so much easier to write it. No telling glance, no worried gesture. It can be what it ought to be, or what Sherlock tells himself it ought to be. A simple statement.]

[ His expression stays cool, though his wings do rustle ever so gently beneath his jacket. ]

So far as I can tell, he's alone. I'm not afraid of those odds.

Better if it was two against the one, though.

Violin strings do make excellent garottes.

What's he doing?

[notquiteheartless]

Sitting in a coffee shop, writing.

Knows I'm here, definitely.

What's the point if he knows you're watching?

[ written ] [ locked 80% ]

[notquiteheartless]

Because he knows he's being watched.

He can't come and go as he pleases. He's not invisible.

Seems like you've made your point, then. Come home.

[ Moriarty's message has unnerved him a bit ]

Lock up. [The writing is a bit darker. A harder press of the pen. Obvious. And Sherlock chides himself for it. Yet, he doesn't wait long to resume writing.] Every door. Every window.

Don't wait up.

Come home or I'm coming after you.

Stay put.

On my way.
