Mycroft had a similar message from his brother not so long ago, so John's message does not surprise him in the least.

Of course, my door is always open.

His eyebrows go up slightly at the reply but he is up and getting his jacket back on, typing back:

On my way then.

And he was out the door. He didn't mean to impose - Mycroft had always made it seem like he was such a busy man - but John felt now would be a good opportunity to do this (with Sherlock out and not trying to keep track of him).

John had a distinct feeling that the other man would not be happy with him going to see Mycroft. Especially with what he was going to be talking about...

Mycroft is a busy man. He does not like to be busy. In fact, his very nature means he would rather be doing nothing, but with a mind like his, it is impossible.

One of the major issues pressing on his mind, not that he would say so, is his brother. While Sherlock has always been unique, his recent attachment, as there is no better word to describe it, to his flatmate is surprising.

It is never good when Sherlock surprises Mycroft.

I shall have my receptionist, Jessica, prepare tea. Please try not to break the tea service.

John was already in a cab and frowned at the text. Brow slightly furrowed, he typed back:

Pretty sure I can manage that.

He shook his head, looking out at the city passing by, wondering why both Holmes brothers seemed to speak in such an obtuse fashion.
