[moves his head slightly in your direction but determined grip on teapot continues]

Yes?

(For the love of—)

[REACHES FOR THE POT]

Give me that. Did you really do what I think you did?

If you're speaking of burning my hand on hot water, no, I haven't gotten that far.

If you're speaking of the god's potion...

[now I will make you some gd tea]

I would expect that from Holmes-san, but not from you.

It seemed a harmless way to earn some credit. [feels his way awkwardly to a nearby seat]

Poison is never harmless, Watson-sensei.

She did promise it to be temporary and I was able to get back and sleep for the most of it.

I was hoping it would be over by now though. [admits]

Does Holmes-san know . . .

No. [quite firm on that]

. . . let's keep it that way.

. . .

Unless he went and drank some too.

He wouldn't do it, there's no challenge. [sighs]

I don't know, curiosity and boredom can have an effect on people . . .

He's prone to sulking first and he hasn't sulked long enough to turn to that. I do need to find him a violin though...

[gosh you can't see him perk, that's good]

Any luck on that?

I have! But I have not earned it yet.

Which god are you getting it from?

Ranniel, the music god. I look forward to hearing his complaints on it once I give it to him. I'm sure he'll find fault with it no matter how it is. [gives a chuckel]

Heh. Maybe you can convince him to play it properly.

You are free to try on my behalf.

I doubt he'd listen to me.

. . . I'd rather try to outplay him, or at least play over whatever it is he does to that thing.

Are you a musician as well then? Violin?

Mm, I played the violin as a kid. A few times in the last few years, but I wouldn't go as far as to call myself a musician.

That is more than myself. I look forward to hearing you play sometime. It will be a welcome change from Holmes'.

[. . . oh no Watson wants to hear me play '-']

I'll - look into getting one, then.

Oh, please don't feel obligated on the behalf of a blind man. [grins]
