And you're right there. But saying you knew this would occur is hardly helping matters. Contend yourself in what you do know, but this incident is hardly one you can blame for your foreknowledge.

[sags a little]

Easier than blaming him when I can't punch him for it.

[confirmed_bachelor]

It's a rather small community, yes. New faces stand out.

Re: [Apt K]

[confirmed_bachelor]

His name's Sherlock. Dark hair, tall, insufferably smart?

[depraved]

Keep blaming him. It'll make punching him that much easier.

[arosebyanyothername]

That's true. Still, I wasn't expecting someone else from Britain to be here.

[confirmed_bachelor]

I hardly need any help with that.

[slips his hands into his jacket pockets]

[confirmed_bachelor]

London, specifically. Though I can't place where you're from...?

[ notices, but doesn't say anything ]

[arosebyanyothername]

I'm further away from the city. Near the suburbs.

[confirmed_bachelor]

Besides, there's steps to take before that. It's possible he's stolen someone's cigarettes again and never quite bothered to come back. Or - broken his ankle somewhere and not bothered to use his phone to text me for help.

[confirmed_bachelor]

May I ask what year?

[Sherlock? Really? Furrowing his brows a little, but not going to comment on that.]

I'm afraid the only insufferably smart person I've seen around here is myself.

[He waves a hand lazily]

But, you know, I'm sure your friend will turn up if nature hasn't swallowed him whole.

[depraved]

Do the phones work here?

Re: [Apt K]

[confirmed_bachelor]

No, he's much smarter than you. No offense whatsoever - just that he's simply that intelligent. And irritating.

[confirmed_bachelor]

Ours do. I linked them about a week back.

[arosebyanyothername]

1870, I believe.

[confirmed_bachelor]

I thought so. You sounded a bit like that.

[depraved]

How does that work?

[confirmed_bachelor]

Tare did it with spiderweb. After I told her why I wanted it.

[arosebyanyothername]

I don't understand.

[depraved]

Fascinating.

[confirmed_bachelor]

I know a few people from around that era.

[confirmed_bachelor]

Yes, well. Not getting any results right now.

[arosebyanyothername]

Oh, I see... I thought I was the only one.
