Telepathic IC 'Inbox' and Messenger Bird Reception

[greatestdefective]

[Catch-all post for one-on-one messages that need to be delivered directly to Sherlock, either through the amulets or with a messenger bird. Meeting in person is also an option!]

[ The thing with Holmes is that Asougi never knows if he's telling the truth, speaking out of his ass, or a little of both. Already, he has a feeling he'll never quite know either, hence the dubious look he gives the detective before giving up, shaking his head. ]

It's a quality that a detective should have, certainly.

[greatestdefective]

Certainly! And the same goes for defense attorneys! Mr. Naruhodou has it as well; that great resolve. [Holmes looks almost proud as he says it. He has been training Naruhodou this past half year, so he'll take some of the credit.]

. . . Good. I'd expect no less from my partner.

[ It's hard to tell, but he has softened somewhat at the mention of Naruhodou. ]

[D'awww, they're partners! Sherlock sparkles just a bit at that word. Adorable.]

Ohoh, you have high expectations for him, don't you?

[exchangeable]

Of course I do. Isn't that only natural?

[ The room's getting a bit brighter at that. As you do. ]

[greatestdefective]

It is! When you trust your partner- when you truly believe in his skills... You expect him to be able to reach for the stars and pluck one from the sky!

[He is so not talking about Naruhodou anymore.]

[ . . . and now this is awkward. and dimmer again. ]

Or you expect him to push himself past his limits and give it everything he's got.

[greatestdefective]

Or that! Quite right! I feel sorry for those who don't have a trusted partner like that.

[exchangeable]

. . . Indeed.

[ He lets out a huff at that, turning as he tucks the magazine under his arm. if!! that's all!! for Christmas and grudging thank yous!! ]

[greatestdefective]

Anyway, have a very happy Christmas!

[Please enjoy this; Sherlock's gift to Asougi. It is homework. He fully expects this guy to read through the novel and questions will be posed about it later. YOU'RE WELCOME.

In the meantime, he'll just drop himself down on the bed and get a head start on those sweets.]
