text to Irene
Sherlock is being weird. He says Jim put a love potion on everything in our flat. So he wants to burn the couch. He said I should tell you. I'm sorry.
Molly I sent it.

*he, too, has been texting--the hasmat teams*
Ah, good, now we put Toby in a carrier and take him--and ourselves--to the nearest medical facility where we can take blood samples and tox screens.
I've told the team not to destroy anything but the couch if they can help it and, since the head of the team owes me a favour, I've convinced him to replace it no charge.
*looks up and smiles at her with extreme and uncharacteristic kindness*

I don't see why not.
*Toby is obviously terrified of being in such a confined space, but accepts it because he's a good travelling cat*
*the doorbell rings*
Ah, that's them now.
*he goes over to the door and explains to the men who enter wearing hasmat suits.*
Right.
*puts his coat and scarf on, and reaches out to take Molly's arm in his elbow*
Coming?
Why did I do that?!
*but it's too late to take the gesture back*

Stares at his arm Okay what is wrong with him? This is not normal. I mean I would've liked it a couple of weeks a go, but not now. You have a boyfriend, Molly. Shakes her head and then grabs his arm Okay, that's enough! Think of Jim! Jim! JIM! Sherlock, you seriously begin to make me worry. Good, go on with a normal conversation.

I'm making myself worry. We need to leave and go through decontamination as soon as possible. This is not normal.
*there's a slight panic in his eyes that isn't coming across in his voice and he's walking a bit faster than usual as all his instincts are telling him to escape. Toby, however, is being very good, only occasionally meowing.*

*slows down*
*snaps slightly, more cross with himself than her*
I'm not worried about your couch!
*puts hands to head, trying to clear his thoughts, and closes his eyes, almost as if he's trying to withdraw like a turtle*
*quietly but harshly, as if fussing at himself*
I need solitary confinement until this wears off. No people, no face-to-face contact, no phone calls until I've recovered. Texting and emailing, yes, but no personal contact.
*he's talking as though the has contracted a highly contagious disease*

How about you go to Baker Street and I'll take a walk in Hyde Park and we'll meet up this afternoon. That will give you time to think.

*disentangles his arm from Molly's, breathes deeply*
*turns to Molly to speak*
