...

[He also looks like he's thinking about something for a moment.]

It would be nice, indeed, to travel where we please. What a nice ability that could be.

[ Slowly his eyes trail away from the signature to books, nodding just a little at that. ]

What would you do if you'd been given that power?

[greatdeduction]

...

[His eyes also trail away.]

Travel wherever I pleased. See whatever I liked. The world is a grand and open space, my dear fellow. One would hate to miss all its glories.

Even if you didn't know where you'd end up next?

[greatdeduction]

Well, I would like to have an idea, at the very least. But I suppose there is a certain fun in unpredictability.

[sponsoredby]

Like all this?

[ Motions to the area around here, kind of meaning the entire place. And the world changing they've done so far. ]

[greatdeduction]

Mm. In a certain way, yes.

Though I would be hardpressed to not have the people I am close to by my side if a thing like this occurs.

It'd be hard, wouldn't it? Knowing you had some kind of power to do that kind of thing, but knowing you might not be able to get back to your daughter.

[ Sorry, at this point in the conversation, he's shifting a bit and just resting his forehead against Sholmes' shoulder. Sometimes you gotta be a little vulnerable around your babe. ]

[greatdeduction]

[He's reaching up to take off his deerstalker from the man's head to stroke gently through his hair as he talks.]

Well...there's nothing saying you can't take your daughter with you, is there?

[sponsoredby]

Maybe that's not even an option.

[ He's relaxing in the touch, letting out a sigh. ]

Ah, but why be so down about just a hypothetical situation, right?

[greatdeduction]

...Come now, don't be so down.

[And now he's leaning his head against the other's.]

Life may be dark, indeed, but there is always a lighter path to look forward and take. You should lean towards that.

Normally that's my type of motto. Maybe I'm just tired after the last week and having someone like you to talk to... It's just nice to get it out sometimes.

[ His head shifts a little bit, not enough to move Sholmes' much, but enough to lightly nuzzle his neck. ]

[greatdeduction]

I am all ears for you. Whatever you wish to say to me, I will be ever glad to hear.

[He tucks the man's hair gently behind an ear, smiling slightly at the ticklish sensation of the other against his neck.]

I will do all I can, so you shall not lose heart in these dark times. That is my promise to you.

Just make sure you know you can lean on me like that. If you need it. Sometimes wonder what all you've got locked up there.

[ With this proximity, one arm slips around Sholmes, resting on his back. ]

[greatdeduction]

...Many things, my dear fellow. But you shouldn't worry yourself with that.

[He sighs at that, following the other's movement by sliding his hand over the other's shoulders to pull him closer.]

[A pause, before he just lightly kisses him on the top of his head.]

Please.

I won't force you, but I'm still going to worry about you. That's part of this whole package.

[ His hand slowly trails up Sholmes' back, brushing his fingers into the bottom of his hair. ]

I just want you knowing this is a two way street.

[greatdeduction]

...

[He can't help but relax at the touch, sinking into it. He doesn't answer at the moment, just sliding a hand down the other's back gently.]

...I do feel quite lucky to have you at my side. I may be the luckiest gentleman in the world.

[sponsoredby]

[ Well, he'll be placated at that. ]

Then that makes me he luckiest superhero.

[ Don't mind as he places maybe a light kiss on his neck. ]

[greatdeduction]

Hm.

[He smiles at the kiss, cupping the back of his neck gently as he turns his head to kiss the top of his head again.]

I wouldn't want to hear anything less, my dear.

[ There's a breathy little laugh at that, words falling off for now, though. Don't mind him planting a few more kisses at his neck, the last couple trailing a bit upward. ]

[greatdeduction]

Ah-!

[He laughs at that, because it tickles! He's turning his head just to aim a fond look down at him.]

You really are ever so eager!

[sponsoredby]

[ He looks up at him with a bit of a grin. ]

Does that bother you?

[greatdeduction]

[He shakes his head.]

Not at all. It's you, after all.

[sponsoredby]

Also, I'm so eager because it's you.

[ He shifts to plant one more kiss onto Sholmes' jaw and moves so he's able to rest his forehead against the other's, knocking his hat off from Sholmes' head. His eyes are focused on him, something burning just a bit under the surface. ]

[greatdeduction]

[Ah, that really is the look of a fiery superhero, alright. Sholmes lets out an amused little huff, not at all sorry for the loss of the hat. One hand moves to cup the other's ear as he smirks.]

Come now, man. If you want something, you really must reach out and take it, hm?
