Oh my God, an otter!

What? God, sorry, did I do it wrong??

Otter looks serene as he has his morning meditation.

Well sometimes it is easier to talk about certain things to a stranger on the Internet...

I don’t say that this is wrong, Mx Anonymous, but you could be anybody; you might as well be not a stranger, that would probably be even worse.

Also, since I’m posting my answer on here, I am not only talking to you alone. 

And, as I already said, there isn’t even much to tell. I simply don’t know what the hell happened yesterday. And how it’s going to affect everything... god, this was the most stupid thing I’ve ever-

It might be a good idea to log off for now, go outside for a bit. Sorry for not answering all the questions yet, I will catch up on them later, promise. I really just need to... not sit down at the moment.

[b-t-c-cumberbatch]

Any plans for your Sunday off?

Well, there isn’t really a day off during filming, is it... I’ll have a look at my lines again later, but I can’t concentrate at the moment, so I sat down in front of my computer and am now answering all those messages.

It’s a lovely day outside, though, maybe I could go for a walk...?

[b-t-c-cumberbatch]

For God's sake, anon... that was so rude.

Don’t fight, it’s okay.

[b-t-c-cumberbatch]

So you have feelings for Martin? Isn't it weird to work with him that close after the kiss?

I don’t know if this is something you should talk… I mean, isn’t this something very personal? If you were in my situation, would you talk about this with a stranger on the internet?

I haven’t really seen him since then, it’s Sunday, we’re not filming today. So, even if I wanted to answer your question, I am not really sure I’d know what to tell you.

[b-t-c-cumberbatch]

Mr Cumberbatch! There you are. I wanted to thank you for all your amazing work. Can't wait to hear of your Smaug!

Again, I am really sorry for letting everyone wait, but I didn’t know that you could send me messages on here. It’s really nice being able to interact with people like this, though. Thank you for your support!

Oh, yes, Smaug. That’s definitely something you will hear.

[b-t-c-cumberbatch]

How are you? How is filming the new season going? Sneak us a little info or pic? :)

Filming is going very well, thank you for asking! We’re almost done now, and it’s going to be three great, new episodes. The scripts are really good, again, and I’m very thrilled to be a part of this, the stories are absolutely amazing.

So, what I can tell you is… absolutely nothing. You’ll have to wait and see.

[b-t-c-cumberbatch]

I can't wait to see how you and Mr Freeman handle the reunion between Sherlock and John. I love both your work and that scene is the one I'm looking forward to the most!

It is going to be very… touching.

[b-t-c-cumberbatch]

Loved you in the new Star Trek! Can't wait to see you as Sherlock again. Anything you can tell us?

Thank you so much! I am glad you enjoyed it. 

About the new Sherlock… well…

Oh, that is what that button does. 

But I’m so sorry, there is not much that I can say about it. It was and is great fun doing it, and you’ll be in for a lot of surprises!

[b-t-c-cumberbatch]

Things must have been... awkward. How are you?

Hm? Awkward, sorry, what? I don’t really know what you are talking about, sweetheart. 

I’m well, didn’t sleep much today, but… yes. Anyway, how are you?

[b-t-c-cumberbatch]

Wow, apparently people can send me messages on here, that’s nice. 

Okay, so how do I do this, reply I mean...
