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

[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.

[missthewoman]

Oh? You don't have a guess?

[holmes_blogger]

That I'm easily swayed by your seductive wiles?

[missthewoman]

Yes~ - as your dear flatmate so bluntly put it, you are many things, but strong-willed against a pretty face is one thing you are not.
But if I may say so, I believe you have a stronger will than he gives you credit for.

Would you like a go at guessing the second characteristic?

[holmes_blogger]

I'd like to think it's that I'm an "intellectual challenge", but I doubt Sherlock would agree.

[missthewoman]

Oh, but you're right, the other one he was right on was that! You are quite bright already, John. And if you stay around him a bit you will certainly pick up considerable deductive powers of your own.

As for the others, I don't mind a man who is a bit stubborn, and I hardly want to be doted on. ...Although it is synonymous with more agreeable things, but then that's just semantics.

[holmes_blogger]

Then it seems I'm your type after all.

[missthewoman]

Was there any doubt, my dear?

[holmes_blogger]

Maybe a little.

[missthewoman]

[She blinks, for a rare moment speechless. Then a gentle smile returns.]

And now?

[holmes_blogger]

Now I think we've spent enough time discussing Sherlock's opinions on your taste in men.

[missthewoman]

[She laughs at that and relaxes, propping her chin on her hand.]

You are absolutely right, my dear! See how wise you are? Enough of that gossip.

Now, I want to hear about you. [An appraising glance.] You have clearly been far too busy this month.

[holmes_blogger]

What makes you say that?

[missthewoman]

[She smiles broadly for a beat.]

Simply I pass by the clinic every now and then, and I've seen it get busier and busier.

[holmes_blogger]

Ah, I see. Yes, we do seem to be getting more patients. I suppose word has spread amongst the refugees.

[missthewoman]

[Did you think she was going to do a Holmes-like deduction on you? She could do that too~]

Congratulations are in order, then. You are helping a lot of people who might otherwise had gone without.
Just remember to take care of yourself as well, so you can best help others.
