The Case of the Migrating Mess | [Accidental(?) Video]

Sherlock...

[John doesn't look happy. Behind him you can see a bedroom that has piles of clutter everywhere - books, a few plants, random stacks of paper, and even miscellaneous lab equipment. He's also holding a jar that seems to be filled with eyeballs.]I've asked you more than once to keep your things out of my room. I told you the next time

[missthewoman]

[She shakes her head slightly.]
I don't know how you stand being with the two of them, my dear. Your patience with them is truly deep, but I'm rather pleased to see it is not bottomless.

[holmes_blogger]

I don't mind the mess most of the time, really. I just want this one room that isn't overrun.

[missthewoman]

And rightly so. You deserve that at the very least.

[holmes_blogger]

Yes, well, try telling them that.

Sorry, I shouldn't be taking my frustration out on you, Irene.

[missthewoman]

Perhaps not. But I'm glad that you feel that you can. [She gives him a sincerely thankful smile before turning it into more of a sly grin.]

And I would be most pleased to tell those two off along with you. For all that they are resistant, perhaps they could use a lady's touch.

[holmes_blogger]

You're certainly welcome to try. I'm sure it can't make things any worse.

[missthewoman]

I shall do it, then. And I do hope it makes things better. [She chuckles] At least they cannot accuse me of any ulterior motive by my doing so.

[holmes_blogger]

None that we can think of. I wouldn't be surprised if they come up with something.

[missthewoman]

Me either, my dear. Me either. I do hope they haven't troubled you over our relationship recently.

[holmes_blogger]

Mm, no, not recently.

I heard you and Sherlock went out on a date that wasn't actually a date?

[missthewoman]

[She chuckles brightly at that!]
I'm afraid so. More than one, technically, and as you say, they were indeed not 'dates'. A ladies' attentions are 'not his area', and he is 'not my type'. Although that did lead into a very interesting discussion about what 'my type' is, according to him.

[She ends with a grin.]

[holmes_blogger]

Is that so? And what did Sherlock have to say about your "type"?

[missthewoman]

That he is someone who is "easily swayed by pretty smiles and seductive wiles", an "intellectual challenge", not stubborn, and my favourite, "doting". [She arches an eyebrow at John.]
Are you doting? I hadn't noticed.

[holmes_blogger]

I suppose you would be a better judge of that than I would.

[He seems rather amused by the description.]

And what did you think of his analysis?

[missthewoman]

[Glad he's amused too!]

Oh, I told him that he was as correct as always. Which is to say I think he was half right. [*wink!*]

[holmes_blogger]

Which half did he get right?
