Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

I'm free this entire afternoon, but it may take me some time to convince my associate to join us. Shall we say this evening?

Sure, whatever works for you. That sounds great. Thank you!

No, thank you. We'll see you later, Mary.

[That evening, Mary walks into the clinic, looking around uncertainly for Dr. Watson. She's not really nervous, but it is one of her first real job interviews, since she pretty much walked into all the jobs she had back home.]

Mary. It's lovely to see you again.

[Watson stands, holding out his hand for a handshake. He's nowhere near as nervous as Mary, but a side glance at Holmes reveals that he does have concerns about this interview.]

My companion.

[ He takes a moment to read her. Ignoring all forms of social courtesies. He finds Asgard's environment to be far too casual for it to matter. It comes out as outright staring. He notices everything, from the way she moves in her stride towards the door. ]

My companion. [ He'll answer sharply. ] Has no grasp of the concept of anonymity. I do sincerely hope, you are far more superior in this area.

[ There's the barest hint of dryness in his tone. ]

Hi, Doctor Watson- you too. [After warmly shaking Watson's hand, Mary turns to the other, giving him a strange look.]

Yeah. [All the staring. It's kind of unsettling.] I'm pretty good at it. Lying's kind of my second language.

[Beat.]

But not to you guys. I need this job.

[She holds her hand out to Holmes.]

Mary Campbell. Nice to meet you.

[This frown is directed at Holmes over Mary's shoulder. Watson knows his companion's dislike of social mores, but surely, a handshake isn't too much to ask? This glare pretty much says 'DO IT HOLMES.']

We appreciate your honesty with us, Mary. Please, make yourself at home.

I gather you've already spoken over this network?

[ Courtesies are in fact, over rated. Nope. Not listening Watson. ]

Somewhat. Will you continue to tarry forth with such indecency? - [ it's naturally a reference to the skirt. ]

Honesty has it's merits.

[She looks at Holmes with a distinct what the hell? face.]

Indecency? What are you...?

[Really, Holmes? Really?]

I don't recall you ever advocating for standards of decency, before -- Companion. [Lord, this anonymous thing is trying.]

In fact, if I recall a certain anecdote told to me by Clarky, you at one point deplored against adherence to such arbitrary dictates of society.

[ Really Watson? ]

I normally hold no objections, but a man has standards - friend. It is an utterly suspicious matter that of all the nannies you choose to hire, you select the one that is blond, insufficiently clothed and who's first name is Mary.

[ a beat. ]

You're bringing that up, really?

[WHOA THERE. Mary rounds on Holmes, looking sufficiently offended to cover up her embarrassment at basically being called a tramp in front of a potential employer.]

Hey! With all due respect, Detective, watch your mouth.

Edited 2012-07-23 06:38 (UTC)

Indeed.

[Watson's going to ignore the allusions to his ~*fiancee*~ and instead draw Mary a chair. Look, Mary! One of them has manners.]

Since Mary has so kindly offered us her time by coming over here tonight, I think we should get down to business. I consider her suitably qualified, do you have any questions, Companion?

Or perhaps you have some for us, Mary?

[ Taking a chair with them, he presses his fingers together for a moment. ]

[ Shooting Watson a pointed look. ]

I need to know that you are capable of holding secrets together. [ He's also snorting inside, trying to see how long before you drop the word 'companion'. ] At times, the nature of our line of work is dipped in secrecy. Back home - if that statement rings any truth, we had dealt with a wide spectrum of clients. Some as illustrious as the King of Bohemia himself.

Your discretion is paramount to your employment.

Edited 2012-07-23 07:44 (UTC)

Thanks. [She nods to Watson when he pulls the chair out, and sits down.] I do, but later.

[Because then it's time for Holmes to talk. Mary's eyebrows slowly climb towards her hairline during his little speech, and honest to God she spends half of it wondering why she's surrounded by so many yummy British accents.

At the end, she's paying enough attention to visibly resist the urge to roll her eyes.]

Mr. Holmes- I already told you, I've spent all my life keeping secrets. [Beat.] What could you possibly be doing here that's that secret? Are you trying to hide what you're doing from the gods?

[Well, Mary certainly got points for taking Holmes' manner in stride, even more for her business-like attitude, immediately getting to grips with her questions. Resuming his own chair, Watson settled back to observe the interview.

He couldn't help but smirk at the 'Mr. Holmes' -- rumbled already?]

Mary makes a rather strong point, I feel.

[ Holmes observes more than the interview naturally. Both John and Mary are put under some level of scrutiny. He doesn't enjoy the fact, his name is put on display like a beacon against the dim sky. He has reasons for keeping his name a private matter, however frequently they are discarded. He moves to lift a pipe out of his robe and tuck it in between his lips. Lighting it with a snap of fingers. A misuse of power, perhaps. But why remain idle and not use the 'gifts' the gods have graced them with? ]

It is not the gods I hide from.

[ he says tartly. ]

What business, after all, do they have in meddling in mortal affairs? [ taking a puff before moving the pipe away from his mouth. ] I worry about much more than that.
