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!

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?

[confirmed_bachelor]

Your standards for adequate are quite high.

[depraved]

Perhaps. But I do know how to compromise.

[confirmed_bachelor]

I'll take that as well.

[depraved]

Very well.

[confirmed_bachelor]

[back to searching then, much calmer and more at ease than before]

[depraved]

[ so is he, outwardly ]

[confirmed_bachelor]

[pleased enough for now, then.]

[depraved]

[ stops ]

Something's wrong.

[confirmed_bachelor]

[turns to look at him]

What is it?

[depraved]

There has been an influx of nature here. Why now? Why suddenly?

[confirmed_bachelor]

[frowns, coming over to investigate that spot]

I thought the windows prevented such a thing.

[depraved]

[ he bends down ]

There was blood.
