The 'I Just Couldn't Make It To Bed' Meme

[batsu_espada]

You must have been more tired than you realize, because one minute you're lounging around on that fabulous (or maybe it's hideously uncomfortable) couch of yours, and the next thing you know, you're knocked out.

Too bad you're not really alone to catch up on that beauty sleep now.

You just really hope that whoever finds you doesn't decide to make

[Canada opens the door, takes one look at Holmes, and quietly backs away. Clearly, he's no fun in this meme.]

[Irene lets herself in, takes one look at Holmes, and promptly sets a kettle to boil. Maybe she'll find some more amusing things while setting the table. (How nostalgic.) Documents, pictures, newspaper clippings... vials, beakers, trays of powders... oh- a set of keys? (Never mind that the latter wasn't exactly laying out in the open.)]

[He's still asleep, sprawled none-too-elegantly on his perch. The keys fit a certain cabinet, of course, a cabinet containing his more personal notes regarding his experiences.

The room is getting a bit warmer, thanks to the kettle boiling...]

[(fufufu, Holmes, you're so cute when you're sleeping.)

Of course, Irene has to find which cabinet said key fits, and promptly start reading said personal notes.

Mmm, yes, nice and warm in here. She will take a moment to take the pot off the fire before it can whistle as it boils.]

[A little snort, and Holmes turns over on the divan, trying to curl up and finding it difficult-- it seems to rouse him, if only due to the disappointment that the uncomfortable position provides.

He sits up a little, stretching his neck, before turning his attention towards the far side of the room--

--and immediately jerks awake, instinctively reaching for the nearest heavy object.]

[Noticing the change in his breathing she turns towards him, and raises an eyebrow at him making a grab for a thick book on the nearby table, knocking over a few other things while he was about it.]

Thank you, dear, but I can clear the table. Far less damaging to your valuables that way.

[He knocks a few flasks over which he catches with his free hand with almost amazing dexterity, but that doesn't deter him from the main 'topic at hand'.]

You really have to stop doing that.

Re: Sherlock Holmes // Sherlock Holmes (2009 Film)

[missthewoman]

Nice catch.

[Unhurried, she puts down the documents and turns to fill the teapot from the kettle.]

Perhaps you're right. Next time, you can treat me to tea.

[He sets down all the things that he's collected and takes a few steps back, seating himself in a chair away from Irene.]

Or you could learn to knock. Possibly.

[She just gives him a look as she comes over to clear the table. (Which involves nonchalantly taking things off the table and placing them underneath.)]

I did, but you were sleeping.

Has the idea of 'coming back at a later and more convenient time' ever crossed your mind?

I'm just. Wondering.

Re: Sherlock Holmes // Sherlock Holmes (2009 Film)

[missthewoman]

Mmm. Just because it crosses my mind doesn't mean I have to pay attention to it.

[Table freed up, she goes to bring over the tray.]

Re: Sherlock Holmes // Sherlock Holmes (2009 Film)

[He watches the clearing of the table with a sense of spitefulness, before he concedes and moves his chair a bit closer to the table.]

You've never been one to listen to voices of reason. Like mine, for example.

Re: Sherlock Holmes // Sherlock Holmes (2009 Film)

[missthewoman]

[You always give over, good man.]

Oh, you have your moments of not listening to reason either.

Re: Sherlock Holmes // Sherlock Holmes (2009 Film)

[yes_mother_hen]

[He doesn't really have an escape route.]

Never. I'm the very voice of reason.

[Reaching for a biscuit.]

[She pours two cups of tea. And gives him *this look* as she takes a sip. Oh he is, is he?]

Re: Sherlock Holmes // Sherlock Holmes (2009 Film)

[yes_mother_hen]

[He takes the tea, less suspicious of it now that he's had SO LONG to be suspicious.

Awkward silence.]
