[Still smiling, oh so charmingly, and even forcing a tiny bit of a blush for effect. He's a very good actor.]

Ah- yes. I'm afraid I was... a little distracted, Halloween night. I shouldn't have gone down with John to the clinic.

[He dips his head and averts his eyes]

Yes, well. It wasn't the best first impression, I'm sure.

[andromynous]

[Fortunately for Sherlock, Andromeda's pretty receptive to apologies.]

No, not so much.

[The way he'd acted through it and the actual drug-using-thing.]

[sh-consulting.livejournal.com]

Yes, I tend to have that affect on people. [The smile purposely falters, and he shrugs a bit.]

However, John seems to think highly of you... And he does have excellent taste, so. I thought it may be best to... mend bridges, as it were.

[andromynous]

[He has yet to actually apologize, though.]

I wouldn't be able to say whether his taste is good or not. I like to think I'm at least a capable medical professional.

[Still listening.]

[sh-consulting.livejournal.com]

[HE KIND OF DID, OKAY. ... well maybe not. He can beat around the bush forever.

He smiles again.]

I don't think I need John's opinion to confirm that. You are more than capable. Anyone could tell, your fingernails alone tell that particular story.

[andromynous]

[She's waiting for the actual apology! That's important.]

I was never a big fan of large claws. No good for conjuring.

[sh-consulting.livejournal.com]

No, I'm sure.

[A small, sheepish, entirely calculated and brilliantly pulled off, smile.]

I guess all I can say is... well, sorry. For ah... me, really.

[andromynous]

[Okay. She relaxes just a little.]

Well. It could always have been worse, I suppose.

[sh-consulting.livejournal.com]

Trust me, I have more than enough experience in causing the worst of opinions.

I, uh... Usually don't care, but-

[andromynous]

But?

[She's very interested to hear the rest of that sentence.]

she is totally getting the wrong idea, and i know it.

[sh-consulting.livejournal.com]

[He just kind of smiles and looks away for a minute.]

Well. It isn't important.

How's the clinic?

Y E P

[andromynous]

[Is this because she's having dinner with Watson]

Well enough. Busy as it always is.

[sh-consulting.livejournal.com]

Yes, I can imagine. It's a rather stressful occupation.

[There's a pause as he catches her eyes.]

...Fascinating. Brown eyes, of course, are the most common colour among the human population, however... Well. They gain quite a depth when tiny golden flecks are introduced, don't they?

[andromynous]

[Wow, this is a pretty awkward attempt at flirting ... maybe?]

It's a family trait. Couldn't tell you whether it was different in wizarding populations or not.

[sh-consulting.livejournal.com]

[Damn. That would have been a gold-mine moment, with Molly. ... This is going to be more difficult than he thought.]

I'd have to do a study. [small grin.]

Speaking of - ah - magic... I have to admit my ignorance on the subject... Perhaps you'd be willing to educate me?

[andromynous]

That all depends on what you want to know. I wouldn't want to go on too long and bore you.

[That gets him a better smile.]

We could start with -- yes, we ride brooms. Men and women both.

[sh-consulting.livejournal.com]

[Well at least she's smiling properly, now. He raises an eyebrow.]

Really. I would have thought that would be the first notion you would disprove.

[andromynous]

Nope -- turns out that they got that bit right.

[And pretty much nothing else.]

[sh-consulting.livejournal.com]

[He's getting somewhere, though. Knowledge of magic is imperative, in this place.]

But does the magic come from you, or the broom?

Ah - I should say, is the magic within or without?

[andromynous]

The broom has enhancements placed on it that will help tap into magic, but -- no, it wouldn't work for anyone without magical aptitude. Within, I suppose.

[Okay, so he went from flirting to asking her about magic. Obviously that's what he wanted...?]

[sh-consulting.livejournal.com]

[She seemed a lot more receptive to talking about magic, okay.]

Fascinating. [He offers her another charming smile.] Have you had any difficulty coping with the city? Did it - ah - feel different, at all?

[andromynous]

Just as different as the Muggle world where I'm from, I guess. A little more technologically advanced, but.

[She shrugs her shoulders.]

[sh-consulting.livejournal.com]

[He's heard the 'muggle' word before. Somewhere. He just... can't quite place it...]

Ah, I didn't mean the city. I meant the magic.

[andromynous]

Ah. I suppose it feels -- enhanced, in some ways?

[She feels more at ease using non-verbal spells, for example.]

[sh-consulting.livejournal.com]

Interesting. I had heard... Well. I should say, I have seen complaints of the opposite, on the Network.

That some find their powers ... lacking, in the city.
