***

A tea-spoon clattered on the saucer. Watson grinned behind his newspaper.

A rustle as Holmes lowered the Strand. “Watson.” Disbelief. “I only queried if you were hurt, and at your negation I cuffed Evans.”

“So you didn’t blurt out your love like a panicked damsel?” Watson's voice sharpened. “Then use me better next time, Holmes, or I rewrite history again.”

Entirely justified, Watson.

Hardly makes up for the deceit in DYN, let alone the crevasse of the Hiatus.

Ha! The pen is mightier than the sword, Holmes!

Lestrade learned that if you don't want to be called "a sallow, rat-faced little man" by Holmes' biographer, you treat Holmes with some bloody respect. Maybe Holmes should learn to treat Watson the same way.

“So you didn’t blurt out your love like a panicked damsel?” It's a great line ^___^

Ah, the worst thing you can do to Holmes - imply to the world there's feelings behind that cold mask ^_^

Hee hee. May be a while before Holmes can go to Scotland Yard and not hear a few snickers behind his back. For once HE'S the brunt of Watson's razor-sharp pen, the same weapon that knocked Lestrade down in his defence ("A sallow rat-faced little man").

Excellent move, Watson:-)

Even Holmes has to be reminded just how powerful Watson's pen can be.
