In the woods

[bitofafiction]

It was a matter of some internal debate what Sherlock would do after finding his rooms. Options included: read the rulebook; explore the grounds; pick the locks on a dormitory door just to see if he could.

As tempting as he found the last option, he has put it aside for now, and can be found in the north end of the woods with his rulebook tucked under his arm. Occasionally, when he finds a nice spot to sit and read for a while, he does just that.

"Yes, but he is not here."

[princesspowerful]

Head tilt, "So find him."

[bitofafiction]

"I invite you to do exactly that. His name is—Tony. He is my twin. If he arrives, he can be the one to explain why he will not make you a robot sister."

[princesspowerful]

"Okay! I'll look for him and have him make me one!" She grins.

[bitofafiction]

Dryly: "Good luck."

[princesspowerful]

"Is he a ghost? Is that why you can't find him?"

[bitofafiction]

"He is not here."

[princesspowerful]

She became quieter, "oh like my friends aren't here"

[bitofafiction]

"In precisely that fashion, yes."

[princesspowerful]

"I'm sorry."

[bitofafiction]

"As am I."

[princesspowerful]

"We'll find them, kay!"

[bitofafiction]

"Perhaps."

Not one for false optimism, is Sherry.

[princesspowerful]

"WE WILL!"

Determination, Molly has it.

[bitofafiction]

He shrugs, unconvinced.

[princesspowerful]

"WE WILL!!" and now she might be whining.

[bitofafiction]

"They are not here, we have no influence over the process of acquiring new arrivals, and it is impossible to leave. How do you propose to overcome these obstacles?"

[princesspowerful]

"I dunno, but I'll find a way!"

[bitofafiction]

Having already said 'good luck' once, and seeing no good reason to repeat himself, he picks up his book again instead.

[princesspowerful]

"Are you ignoring me?"

[bitofafiction]

"Yes."

[princesspowerful]

"But you just answered me!"

[bitofafiction]

"What a conundrum."

[princesspowerful]

"So you're not ignoring me!"

[bitofafiction]

This time, he does not, in fact, answer.
