I would stay if you asked me.

[ he might look away, but she doesn't. she hardly blinks, and the weight of her stare-- her attention-- is heavy, penetrating. ]

But you don't. Perhaps your needs are met in your work. Mine are not.

[deductives]

[This situation never stops being entirely uncomfortable for him. He fidgets under her gaze like a squirming student being chided by the principal. Danger fascinated him, and he did care about her to some hidden degree, but she's right-- his needs are in his work, not a domestic environment. Sometimes, it's a hard guess to make at who's more robotic.

Sherlock looks at her directly again, his lips turning down into a confused frown.]

Why would I inconvenience you? [A pause.] And what needs could I possibly meet?

[He may not actually be a virgin at this point, but the moniker can still be fitting.]

[heartlessglitch]

[ in truth, she requires significantly less attention than most other women -- she works constantly, almost tirelessly, even in her soft, organic body. but her emotions, they're as real as she is, even as muted as they sometimes seem.

there's displeasure in the shape of her mouth. ]

I live with you, Sherlock Holmes. I choose to be with you, with you can afford me the time. Can you not answer your own question?

[deductives]

[She knows him well enough that a challenge like that won't go unanswered. That, and it isn't as if he takes any joy out of her discontent. He does keep coming back, after all. They both do-- there has to be something to it.]

I'll stay as long as I can, Danger. [His hands twitch, thinking to move to her arms, but he decides against it. He's not sure she wants to be touched.]

Until you're sick of me, I suppose.

[heartlessglitch]

[ she makes an acknowledging sound, watching him in a considering way. after a moment, she reaches out with one hand, ghosting her fingertips over the line of his brow and down the side of his face.

when she speaks, it's hard to tell if she means to be mildly mocking or not-- with the ambiguous nature of her voice, her wryness is always subtle. ]

I cannot become sick of you when you are hardly here.

[deductives]

[Even at the barest touch of her fingers, Sherlock feels his skin flare. It's an embarrassing reaction, but at least it might appease her somewhat. He takes one of her tangled locks between his fingers and twirls it idly to stave off any redness he might be showing.]

Then until you are sick of me, then.

[Sherlock is somewhat self aware of how taxing he is to live with. Danger's sarcasm pleases him, though, in a strange way. He can appreciate wit, after all. Sherlock leans forward and presses his lips to Danger's forehead softly. Affection can often be a strange new territory they explore together.]

[heartlessglitch]

[ she doesn't respond immediately. instead, when he leans towards her and presses his lips against her forehead, she nearly stills, only tilting her head just slightly in anticipation. in this body, she's hyperaware of what his kisses feel like against her skin, and as cold as she seems, she remembers every rare gesture of affection. each one placates her, in a way.

she waits until he withdraws to respond, watching him with those alien eyes for several long beats.

finally: ]

Could you not take me with you?

[deductives]

[When Sherlock pulls away slightly from Danger, his eyes widen slightly at her suggestion. He'd never thought that she'd actually want to accompany him; she had plenty to deal with at the hospital. Not to mention he barred John from bringing dates-- wouldn't this be a tad hypocritical?

Not that she wouldn't be useful. And not that he dislikes her company. He thinks for a while, conflict written clearly on his face.]

There are times when John needs a break. If you'd-- like to join me.
