I would like it to go somewhere as well...I suppose all relationships take work. It's good to know what we're facing at the beginning. can be overprotective, you know that.

You being overprotective isn't a problem. When you do the sort of work I do, it makes a welcome change when someone cares enough about you to want to protect you. You should probably know, though, that I can be reckless and stupid sometimes.

I can seem overbearing when I'm only trying to be helpful. I'll be angry when you're reckless but not for long. I understand it is a part of you, particularly in your job.

I can forgive that. All of that. But I reckon we should stop sharing our bad sides, would hate to put you off me before you've even had a chance to get to know me. Anyway, it's more fun discovering someone's bad side yourself.

You make discovering my faults sound almost fun. I know enough of you to assure you I won't run from you in revulsion. If you can stand my brother, you're practically a saint.

It is fun discovering people's faults. It's like knowing a secret side to them that not everyone gets to see, and I always ends up liking people more when I know that they're, I don't know, grumpy before their morning tea or get angry when people walk slowly in front of them.
Someone has to put up with Sherlock on the crime scenes. He's put more criminals behind bars than we'd like to credit him for. But you've dealt with him his whole life, you must be one hell of a saint.

Well when you put it like that...I can see the attraction. According to my brother I'm his archenemy and the most dangerous man in London. He's dramatic to say the least.

You're too kind and good to be anybody's archenemy. I can see him being yours, however. Most dangerous man in London though? Not sure if I should be laughing or worried.

Oh I care for him, worry about him as well, much as he resents me because of our childhoods. That's very kind of you, and I wouldn't be worried. I'm a benevolent most dangerous man in London to those I care about.

Yeah Sherlock mentioned your childhood together, though I think he made you out a lot worse than you really were. Resentful is definitely a word I would use to describe him though.
Will make a mental note never to get on your bad side.

If even you manage to get 'on my bad side,' you needn't fear anything. I'm not vindictive. I do prefer to keep my work persona and my personal life somewhat separate when I can.

Glad to hear it. Does that mean you have been known to wear something other than suits in your spare time?

Not very often but I do in fact possess a few pieces of casual clothing for when I'm at home. Play your cards right and you might see them someday.

Glad to hear it though I might have to warn you to not think too much of the idea before you see me in casual clothes. It is not...that impressive.
