I helped move him into the hotel. But you know John. He insists everything is fine.

[devoutish]

Mm, yeah; I don't let him get away with that.

[furgood]

[Hum ] You don't let anyone get away with it

[devoutish]

One of my many talents, yes.

[He kisses the top of her head.]

[furgood]

You excel at it, it's very true

[devoutish]

But--

[He gives her another little squeeze.]

It will end. I've no doubt of it.

[furgood]

I yield to your expertise. I just.. wish he didn't put up with so much.

[devoutish]

He's got quite a low opinion of himself, sometimes.

[furgood]

I think a lot of his self worth is tied up in Sherlock. And Sherlock said he wasn't needed anymore.

[devoutish]

His self-worth being tied up in Sherlock is a very good sign that he hasn't got much of it to begin with.

[furgood]

True--I can sort of understand but I can hope it'll be good for him.

[devoutish]

Bother him about it, as often and as loudly as you can.

[furgood]

[Little laugh] I'm not sure bothering will help. He needs to figure out out on his own. At least in my experience, with these sorts of things at least. But I'll nudge.

[devoutish]

Nudging and bothering will help him with the figuring out.

[Trust him, he's a doctor.]

[furgood]

Meddling. [Teasing] I think half the Meadous is meddling. I'll give it a try but I'll blame you if he gets annoyed.

[devoutish]

The man needs to be meddled with. He fucking begs for it.

[furgood]

[Pokes his chest ] I know, you can't help yourself. Did you do this at home? I feel like this is how you got into so much trouble.

[devoutish]

I have nearly been shot for it more than once.

[He admits, giving her a wink.]

[furgood]

See, I knew it. [Shakes her head ] At least John probably won't shoot you for it.

[devoutish]

Probably. He might throw a punch, though.

[furgood]

Is that why you want me to do it, because he defined won't punch me.

[devoutish]

No, of course he won't; he's a gentleman. But no, I want you to do it because he needs many people going after him.

[furgood]

[Eyeroll] I meant more because he likes me but yes. You're determined. I'll try. [Quick cheek kiss ] don't go getting punched, you'd look awful with a black eye.

[devoutish]

Not so awful; I've had them before.

[He nudges her, then sets his empty cake plate aside.]

He does like me, too. We've got a contentious sort of relationship, but we're friends.

[furgood]

Why so contentious? What happened?
