[aigue]

It would be nice, but I'm not expecting it.

[She shrugs.]

Did you like it? I know a notebook isn't as good as a sword. [Her previous gift to him.]

[howdull]

A notebook is generally a useful gift, but it would be a lot more appreciated if you could give me something worthwhile to fill it with.

[Someone is bored.]

Nothing ever happens here.

[aigue]

You're clever, you should be able to do that on your own.

[howdull]

I suppose I could use it to catalogue John's humiliating defeats at board games, but that would require us to actually engage in those activities again.

[Which is his way of asking to do that again, because it's something to do.]

[aigue]

That's certainly one way to use it.

[She's thinking more Solving Mysteries, but he's right - there isn't much to solve around here.]

I wouldn't mind trying to get through another board game. Though I don't know about John, and we'd probably need a fourth person.

[howdull]

I'll handle John and leave you to gather a fourth.

[He's pretty positive that she has more friends than he does, and he's content with that being the case.]

Someone less irritating than Mycroft was, if you can.

[aigue]

I... sure.

[A fourth person? That might be a challenge, people might not be eager to play any kind of game with Sherlock.]

I'll give it a try.

[howdull]

[That's that matter settled then, he waves a hand dismissing it entirely now that it's on her shoulders.]

Then I suppose I'll see you again shortly.

[aigue]

Sure.

[She nods.

Okay, then. Next stop: the bulletin board.]
