Summary: There are several aspects to Watson’s personality. When the good doctor and the loyal friend are not enough to keep Holmes from craving his seven-percent-solution, Captain John Watson reappears and orders an outing to London's Hyde Park.
“Holmes, we are going out.” Distraction is in order. Mrs Hudson cooking his favourite dishes and providing him with the newest scientific articles only works so long. “Some fresh air will do you good, old boy. Us both good! Grab your coat and hat. It is decided!”
“Oh, it is decided, the doctor says. And if I refuse… what will the doctor do then? Pray tell.” Holmes sneers, putting up a facade of false bravado and mockery that I can detect the slurring tone behind.
As if the dark eyes, the hair in disarray and the nightshirt still worn into the evening hours, are all not revealing enough on their own. Yes, my Holmes has not even put proper outerwear on and abandoned shaving two days ago. It is an alarming as well as scandalous sight.
“I will find a way…” I simply say. I let a bit of my military voice from the army days blend in; subconsciously (or not) I stand up a bit straighter.
