[Oh, now this is interesting.

His fingers fly over the surface of his tablet in enthusiasm, though the message he sends is distinctly less than impressed.]

Why would you ever want to contact Mycroft? That sounds like pointless torture on top of your current hardships.

[not_harker]

He has a way of sending others to strange locations with little or no intel. I had assumed this was another one of his plans come to fruition.

[howdull]

Unfortunately for us both, Mycroft isn't behind this. I'm Sherlock Holmes, by the way.

[not_harker]

[She's glad that they're communicating via typing, so he can't see the embarrassing rush of excitement to her face. Now she just has to try not to gush.]

It's a great honour to speak with you, Mr. Holmes.

[howdull]

Doubtful.

You idolise a different Sherlock Holmes, a fictionalised version of myself that I've come across before. I will prove to be a disappointment, I'm sure.

[not_harker]

Perhaps you underestimate yourself.

[howdull]

It's far more likely that you overestimate me, I'm very rarely wrong.

[not_harker]

And yet, is that not impressive in and of itself?

[howdull]

Of course.

People tend to find it less impressive the longer they're in contact with me. I've done a study on it, the relative inverse reaction of irritation to awestruck, I don't have the paper with me.
