“I was hoping you would be Sherlock” Irene commented from the window of 221b, American accent clear in her voice her Perisian perfume lingering in the room. One only to be worn by Irene Adler.
John sighed and took off his jacket. “And I thought you were him.” He looked at her with a frown, “why is it I always get to see you?”
Irene gave a slight smirk deciding to seat herself down in the chair. “You really don’t like me do you?” Irene asked her eyes upon John “Where is Sherlock?”
John decided not to answer the first question, but it was clear with the tightening of his jaw and the cross of his arms what it would be. He tilted his head slightly, “why do you need to know?”
“Let’s just say I owe him something” Irene replied her eyes upon John as she spoke. She seemed to watch him like a hawk. “So, where is he?” She asked again
John pursed his lips like he’d eaten something sour. “Out.” He replied curtly. “He’ll be back in a few hours.” Just then, a small girl came in with Mrs. Hudson and clutched to his leg. He picked her up and paid her and picked up the child. “You could go and come back or you could help me with Ellie.”
Irene looked toward the child within Johns hands with a slightly raised eyebrow. She had travelled quite far and she knew that she did not wish to come back. "I can help with Ellie" She offered, funnily enough Irene was good with children despite her hesitation. She gave the girl a small yet kind smile a smile she only gave children. Irene decided to sit down upon the sofa at that point moving away the handbag just in case. "I wanted to give Sherlock something that...didn't belong to me back." Irene explained "He saved my life and I owe him what I took"
