Who: APT C and Friends/Co!
When: Day 46, (slight forward dated to early evening!1)
Where: the main 'Apt C' kitchen/living area
What: FAMILY DINNER!1

[YOU MIGHT HAVE NOTICED lawyer has commandeered the main kitchen this afternoon, and has been cooking for a while! There's a lot of...well, the equivalent of toasted sandwiches made with various types of meats divided into fancy triangles, cut up fruit made to look extra dainty, a simple kind of stir fry as a main dish, and finally CINNAMON BREAD (courtesy tiniest robin) with different homemade spreads. There's also enough juice and/or booze and or/wine for apartment. When did he have time to quest for these? WHO KNOWS, BUT IT HAPPENED. ]

[It may not be the fanciest but it all SMELLS and TASTES GOOD and gdit lawyer is pleased and also wearing a new red suit.]

I think that about does it! Of course, this is done in Ambre's name. Please enjoy the dinner!

No one could have predicted ending up here.

[depraved]

. . . No one?

[confirmed_bachelor]

Could you?

[depraved]

If I was versed in magic, yes.

[confirmed_bachelor]

Then in a universe where you exist and are also well-versed in necromancy, then yes. This could be predicted.

[depraved]

[ his lips twitch ]

If you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth

[confirmed_bachelor]

I know, but - it's damned improbable. And you can't use it as a reason to blame yourself.

[depraved]

Oh, I don't blame myself.

[confirmed_bachelor]

Ah. Well. Then good.

[depraved]

Is that really what you thought?

[confirmed_bachelor]

You certainly don't seem pleased at the idea.

[depraved]

What troubles me....

[confirmed_bachelor]

Yes, that was my thought. That it troubles you.

[depraved]

Everything I have done . . . Everything I have wanted to be. . . or ever tried to be . . . was for you.

[confirmed_bachelor]

[freezes sharply at that, turning to look at him. surprised - not pleased, exactly, but those words are incredibly important to him, coming from Sherlock--]

[confirmed_bachelor]

[then he hunches his shoulders, looking away.]

Him. You ought to tell him that. When we find him.

[depraved]

He won't believe me. And I'm too tired to keep trying. So I am telling you. It applies to him as well.

[confirmed_bachelor]

... I believe you.

[depraved]

. . .

Thank you.

[confirmed_bachelor]

It is - that is - He and you are both critical components of my own life. Centers. Opposite halves. So of course I believe you.

[depraved]

I would not abandon you.

[confirmed_bachelor]

... No. And I understand that he would not either. Not without my safety being at stake.

But I will follow regardless. By whatever means necessary. The same for you, as well.

[depraved]

. . .

That is adequate.

[confirmed_bachelor]

[slight nod. completely serious:]

A high compliment, that.

[depraved]

Is it?
