[ There's a pause like he's actually thinking about it. He kind of is, but he also needs to focus and make sure he really gets everything off the fridge handle. ]
You know, I think you might be right. I hope you're right.
[ He'd sure like to look like a true distinguished gentleman. Whatever that means. ]
[She smiles and lets him focus his attention back on cleaning, grabbing one of the nearby chairs and standing on it to get some of the higher parts of the cupboards.]
Hrmn...looks like it's been a while since either of you dusted up here.

Sherlock doesn't cook. I do ... sometimes. Definitely not as often as I should.

Well seeing how you're the only one who likes eating, do you have a favorite meal?
no subject
