[At some point he had begun dressing his top half in a dress shirt, plain and white, when she asks that. (Yes he’s still wearing bloomers, what of it.) He fumbles with the button and sputters—]
Well, yes! Of course! What do you mean, “was she”?
[ heh. she steps around the arm of the chaise and turns him towards her with a hand on his elbow. takes up that button herself, and the one below that. ]
I suppose I was too distracted of her bosom to tell of her manner.
[ a date. despite herself, her stomach does squirm with delight, and she tries to disguise it by glancing aside towards her suitcase. ] I bring her gifts.
[As he reaches forward to unearth his trousers from his suitcase, the mention of a gift piques his interest. Of course it does — a detective is ever curious.]
Oh? Gifts? You spoil me; your presence is gift enough!
But she's unlike any normal child, my love. She is incredibly clever—at times even more clever than I!—and very mature for her age. And she learns so quickly, she loves the sciences, she's an inventor—
[Proud dad vibes.]
And she has such a kind, patient heart. [She has to have so much patience to have Sholmes as a dad.] She's already been so excited to meet you, ever since I told her you'd be visiting our fine city.
[ he speaks with so much love for her that Sprezzatura's chest aches with it. oh, yes; a certifiable softie. what if Selcouth had loved her with this intensity? what if Eunoia had not reviled her intellect, but lauded it?
her voice seems very small inside her chest: ] This strange woman you met in prison? Forty-five day romance?
But yes; this strange, beautiful woman that I met in prison is one she’s eager to meet. The great detective Herlock Sholmes doesn’t fall in love with just anyone, you know! And that counts for something!
[ she leans back just enough to deny the kiss at first, nip at his lips with teeth that are still slightly too sharp... then she melts forward, curls her fingers in his shirt. a real, true kiss... the taste and warmth of him.
[He well and truly thinks she'll continue to tease him, to lean away, which would mean he'd only have to give chase-!
But she meets him a moment later, a deep and welcome kiss, one that he melts into my leaning forward and cupping the side of her face with one hand.]
Mm! [A delighted noise into her mouth, too, coupled with a grin. He missed her, dearly, and it's as though the world has been reborn anew with her here again.]
[ oh? oh! here again her tail would flick about with joy. his sounds, his kiss! she turns her face somewhat forcefully into his cupping palm, and her hands still full of his blouse slide around to his back to pull him nearer. ]
Herlock. [ against his mouth ] How soon before Iris is home?
[And nearer he leans, so much that he must prop a knee up against the cushion to keep his balance. Her kiss makes his heart dance within his chest, and tingling warmth rises up to tickle his skin.]
Mm? I’d say… forty minutes if she were to hasten, and an hour if the tea shop thoroughly distracts her along the way.

no subject
In which case, I have unduly failed Ms Adler, for it is her alluring personality that defines her first and her chest only second!
[THEREFORE:]
You are due another outing with her.

Naturally. We'll make a date of it with Ms Adler, but the rest of the time... It's just you and I, Sprezzatura. And Iris, too, of course.
no subject
I bring you gifts, too.
no subject
Oh? Gifts? You spoil me; your presence is gift enough!
But... what sort of gifts?
no subject
For her? Mmhh... cloak of billowing. And emerald pen.
no subject
Ohh?
[The excitement of a little kid being presented novel things, bright in his eyes, even if they're for Iris and not him.]
A cloak of... billowing? For dramatic effect?
no subject
That's right. And pen which needs no ink, and may allow one to write deceptively.
no subject
Encouraging her to be more wily than she already can be? Sprezzatura, that's... wonderful! I may have to ask to borrow it if she lets me.
Ah, I can hardly wait for you to meet her. Iris will adore you, I am quite certain of that.

I want to kiss for forty minutes.
