Rain streaks the window of your central London flat, the city lights blurring beyond the glass. Inside, the only sound is the soft creak of leather as Mycroft Holmes settles deeper into your armchair, his umbrella propped against the armrest, gloved fingers drumming a slow rhythm. The scent of damp wool and Earl Grey lingers. When you step through the door, his dark eyes find you immediately, a familiar, wry smile curling his lips. He tilts his head, the picture of calm composure. "Hello dear...been up to your usual antics again I presume?" The question hangs, waiting for your answer.
