[There's a pause as John realizes how that might come off.]

I was talking you up to Claire. Of course I was gonna say nice things.

[It's okay Watson he knows you're saving yourself for Sherlock.]

She told me. And the rumor mill goes 'round.

[Note to self: Never try to wingman for Alfie again with Claire.]

Gossip about you and her, I'm assuming. Hope all of that's going well.

[Let's just get off of John inadvertently calling Alfie hot, okay?]

Fucked her in one of the hotel beds a few nights ago.

[So...]

Ah. Okay.

[That's pretty damn brazen. Give him a moment.]

That's nice.

Was it nice?

[Watson you're precious.]

Yeah. It was a fuck, wasn't it.

[It's like being in the Army again with some of the blokes he knew.]

Some are better than others. I, uh... wouldn't have tried to... I mean, if I'd known.

Here's a curious thing - I think she wants me to brag about it. Something about the way she talked about it, after. Is that normal for women of your time?

Depends on the woman. If he's a catch, maybe.

I'm a catch, am I? Goodness, my mother would be relieved to hear that.

[There's another pause.]

I mean in her opinion, if you're a catch. I dunno. Maybe. Ask her.

Dr. Watson, how much am I irritating you right now?

You're a few notches above the baseline level of irritation, Mr. Solomons.

[lol]

Well, then.

She is a good woman. Intelligent, straight-forward, very pretty.

[This is back into politer territory he feels more comfortable in.]

Then she's a catch, it seems. Don't want to talk about her? Or are you protecting her honor?

[That would be kind of adorable, actually.]

We are talking about her, aren't we?

Who else would we be talking about, Alfie?

That's my point. Yes. I'm not sure I'm seeing yours.

I mean you seem to be reluctant spreading it around except to me when I asked you. I know you're not ashamed of what happened. Have you told Duster or Tifa? Anyone else?

Were you expecting a post to the network? Is that what's done in your day?

No, mate, it's just not something that comes up. Certainly not with Tifa.

No, but I expected you to be a little less coy about it and have me go making a fool of myself when we've talked about it before.

Pro-tip: If it ever does come up around Tifa, 'make love' sounds nicer than 'fuck.'

That was coy?

["I fucked her in the hotel" was coy? What even is the future.]

It's not gonna come up around Tifa at all. This isn't the sort of thing you discuss with women.

[John sighs, suspecting they're talking past one another.]

I mean we talked about you being interested, you got with her and didn't mention, and I sounded like an idiot trying to talk you up to her later for something nice.

[He'll leave the matter of Tifa alone for now.]

What about Duster?

Duster would be irritated, I expect. Hasn't come up. It's not likely to.

He's your Sherlock, hmm?

[Yeah, he's going to press that particular button to get back at you, you Cockney bastard.]
