I've barely noticed your absence.

"How often have I said to you that when you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth?" [Independent roleplay blog for RDJ Sherlock Holmes]

[watsonlikesbooze-deactivated201]

It's obvious he's playing the game. Pretending to be uninterested. I offer him some food, and try to remain positive. "No cases, fair enough old boy." I give him a smile, it's obvious his mentality is suffering, perhaps depression, lack of sleep? I try not to pry, and instead shift to a more positive note; my news. "you're going to be Uncle Sherlock in 8 1/2 months champ."

[detective-sherlockholmes]

I could cry at his obvious attempt to change the topic and bring in a lighter mood. Who is this news good for? London feels overpopulated. There are diseases killing children because of the close quarters. Every possible thing wrong with this picture passes through my head after he breaks his news. 

"Having a child will be dangerous in your line of work. Have you considered that possibility?" 

[watsonlikesbooze-deactivated201]

"Yes of corse….well, I have been under a lot of stress. You know I eat during times of worry." I fidget with the napkin, trying to think of what to say. "Do you have a case champ? … what’s the latest play?" I have to know, he’s been distant with me on areas of work, I’ve been so caught up with home life.

There must be something, something he isn’t telling me. I wait. I watch him patiently waiting for answer. I see him smile and sip his scotch like a toddler.

“HOLMES! wake up and listen. I know you make fun of my new married life, I’m no fool. Regardless it’s time to reconnect, it’s time to do what we do best. Also, champ … I have wonderful news. “

[detective-sherlockholmes]

I fool around with my glass of scotch, pretending to be uninterested in the topic at hand. Secretly, I'm slightly upset that I don't have a case and have nothing interesting to share. "No cases. Only experimentation." And paranoia. I feel I'm being followed most of the time. It makes me wonder if Irene is back in town.

I've moved onto playing with my napkin and adjusting the silverware on each side of my plate. The distracted movement is halted and I can no longer pretend to not pay attention. There's no way to know what he's about to say. I try to pay as little attention to him as possible, though occasionally I will follow him without his knowing.

"What could it be?" I can't help but get a sinking feeling. It doesn't take a detective much to figure out the common order in which things happen in someone's life.

[watsonlikesbooze-deactivated201]

Offended, I remain calm. No need to be childish. Regardless, I must know. "Holmes....do - do you really think I've put on weight?"

[detective-sherlockholmes]

"Naturally. The average person puts on weight during the colder months. It's an evolutionary response." Now I'm simply playing with him. The way I feel sometimes makes me feel it alright to make him suffer just the slightest bit. It's punishment for my lack of company.

[watsonlikesbooze-deactivated201]

I motion for the waiter "one scotch please, thank you." I look back at Holmes and give him an easy smile. I want to make this painless.

"Sherlock. ...you must know you look dreadful." I take small sips and wait for him to begin explanation. Nothing. "Have you been eating well? Have you been on any medication recently?" I don't expect the truth, but it's worth a shot.

[detective-sherlockholmes]

"And you look the same as always, though perhaps you've found the weight that I have misplaced." I'm being touchy when he inquires on my eating habits. I eat more when he's around and it seems he eats more without me. The miserable prison he calls marriage makes him too comfortable, I feel.

"I eat when the urge hits me." Which is mostly true. I don't think of eating most of the time.

The question about medication remains ignored.

Lie down with me, Watson.

Lunch~

[watsonlikesbooze-deactivated201]

I see him walk in. Late as always, I wave to him, motioning for him to speed his pace and take a seat. Once he has met me, I try my best to remain calm…but it’s obvious that the distance has caused un-needed anxiety for me. “Holmes….how are you?” Forget the fact that I’ve only been waiting for, I don’t know… half an hour, and let’s not talk about him being oddly aloof. I waited but no response. “Sherlock, have a drink okay? How have you been?” I clench my jaw. My patience already too thin

[detective-sherlockholmes]

I notice immediately that he has reverted back to being a mother hen. There are a few people in the world that can read me. Watson is one of them. My actions have made him this way and I am unsure on how to reverse the situation.

"A sangria." I observe. "I also want a scotch." The old doctor probably knew it, too, but he's always trying to make me try new things. "I'm just the same as when you saw me less than an hour ago." I smile. I won't make this easy for him.

Lunch~

watsonlikesbooze Holmes arrives at the restaurant perhaps a bit later than he meant to due to the fact that he got caught up hiding from someone along the way. When he saw that the coast was clear, he resumes his short journey to the restaurant and walks through the front door, coat high around his ears and his eyes darting back and forth. As expected, Watson is there and drinks for them both are already on the table.

[detective-sherlockholmes]

Where the hell are you holmes???

Where I’m meant to be, doctor

I feel as though even the simplest if people could figure it out. It's practically written out for you

"Good Lord, Sherlock, are you still pining over Doctor Watson? You do realise that he is not dead, yes? You can visit him whenever you want to.”

[detective-sherlockholmes]

"Pining... Rather I find his presence to be a necessary factor in a few, trying situations."

Why does it appear that you seem so ejaculated around the Saiyan Prince? It is because you perhaps have a rather large erection for the male? I'm just saying.

Simply put; none of your bloody business
