Just have to find another place to go

[bloodydeduction.livejournal.com]

[Sherlock has decided that he likes whatever this place is - a replication of his apartment, yes, but it has just the right mix of quiet and chaos going on in the background that he can get some proper thinking done. And God knows he has a lot of thinking to do right now.

He sits on one end of the couch, hands together and resting beneath his chin, eyes closed. The observant will notice just how tense he is, as if he's expecting something to happen. The ridiculously observant may notice the small spots on the left side of his collar - dried blood stains, there for days at least. And those with a sort of "sixth sense" or whatever for odd things? Well... maybe you can figure it out.

He just sits, unmoving, for now. How long can a person keep this up, exactly...?]


((OoC: BBC'S Sherlock, AU'd! Wide open post, do feel free to bother him. He needs it.))

[he opens then closes his mouth] Hold on, you were--when--[he covers his eyes with one hand]--no, you said four days ago. But you seem all right physically. [yet the way Sherlock looked when he came in...] How was it strange?

[bloodydeduction.livejournal.com]

No weapons, just brute strength. And teeth. You don't see much of that.

[Yes, because that was the only thing strange. Right, Sherlock. He can't decide if he should be honest, use discretion, or just continue to dodge. If the whole ordeal has turned his world upside down, what would it do to John...?]

[considering the sort of situations he's been in before meeting Sherlock and where their cases have led him? his world has already been turned upside down--and deep down, that thrills him. his expression becomes serious.]

No, you don't. Exactly how did they use teeth?

[bloodydeduction.livejournal.com]

In the way teeth are frequently used. [he says, somewhat distantly... he shakes his head, brings his focus and attention back to John.] Particularly the canines. They were even extended, which I'm sure helped them a great deal.

[Honestly, thinking back on it makes him want to shut down and change the subject, but he knows that's not going to happen.]
