Yes?

Who is this? [Is he in trouble with someone??]

Jill Valentine. You live with Sherlock Holmes, don't you?

[ The opposite, Capcomrade. ]

[Oh.]

I do. What did he do this time? [Someone is very used to Holmes' antics.]

It's more what he almost did.

[ What a guy, huh. ]

I know he's a little scatterbrained sometimes, but he briefly confused bleach for hydrogen peroxide. Not sure if he literally thought it would be alright or not, but I feel like... if you haven't...

I guess what I'm trying to say is do you want help "Sherlock-proofing"?

(. . . . . .)

Sorry, but what's hydrogen peroxide?

As for the offer, I'm not sure if it's possible to Sherlock proof anything with a detective like him. He always finds a way to get into things, but he always comes out fine! [That's really reassuring.]

It's something that'll disinfect an oral wound without killing him.

Is... is that so... I guess I shouldn't be surprised. Sorry if I bothered you with this, I just don't want to wake up tomorrow and find out he'd just give it a go for science or whatever.

Oh, I see. (I wonder if they used that on Dr. Watson...?)

No, it's fine. He still worries me with his antics from time to time, but his intuition is something else. He's a lot more intelligent than he lets on. [There's this warmth of fondness spreading through the connection.] Just in case though, I'll check around the house for any bleach and remind him it's not for eating.

Well, now if you've got any issues you know a good place to start if you can't get to a dentist quickly.

Oh, I agree. I count myself lucky to be considered something like a friend. His intuition might be great, but that curiosity of his is going to get him in trouble at some point. [ Jill's not so blatant; no real feelings at all are felt, but she obviously wouldn't be here and worried -- a little heavy handed joking or not -- otherwise. ] Thanks. I wish I could be confident he won't, but I feel like he'd just reach for some bottle while reading and not pay attention as he multi-tasks or something...

Yes. Thank you. I have a feeling this information will come in handy very often. [What's that chill suddenly coming through and then gone a second later? Someone else doesn't seem to like the idea of going to the dentist.]

. . .He did eat soap one time to "cleanse" his stomach. I think that was on purpose though and not from absentmindedness. [That doesn't make it better??]

[ Somehow, she puts two and two together. Looks like she's going to be the resident "drag people to the dentist" of Verens, huh. ]

You aren't reassuring me, you know.

Anyway, I appreciate your time. You obviously know what kinda guy he is already and didn't need me saying anything, but I'd rather not have my friend you know... well. I guess that's just how he is.

[ There's a soft gust of air. Like a sigh. ]

It's fine, really. To be honest. . .I'm happy you did contact me about him. I'm sure you can tell that he often gets caught up in his own head. Sometimes, it gets in the way when it comes to talking with people. So, thank you for seeing him as a friend.

I think "often" might be underestimating it. I've known him probably close to four, five months? Not long after I came here.

I don't see a problem with how he talks but I can understand where other people might not have patience. [ If it was something else like work, though, she might not have the patience for it. As playful and teasing as she can be she does take her job much too seriously. ] It's no big deal, you shouldn't have to thank me for it. Friendship's a mutual thing.
