picture prompt meme.

the picture prompt meme
I — Comment with your character.
II — Others will leave a picture (or two, or three...)
III — Reply to them with a setting based on the picture.
IV — Be aware that this meme will likely be image-heavy. That's kind of the point.

thank you!! I don't get to play her much, so this is a treat. <3
It takes her a few seconds to try to parse out what answers went with what questions, but the overall effect is the same: she slumps a bit, disappointment and worry pulling her down toward the ground like a weight. She frowns.]
Then what are you—? Oh, no no, never mind.
[It's probably better that she doesn't know what he's doing here. Both of them know she wouldn't hold up very well under a police interrogation, although not for lack of trying.]
If you're leaving tonight, though, you should at least stay for dinner. Keep up your strength, yeah? No good traveling on an empty stomach.
[Nervous little laugh, and then it occurs to her what she's done. She just asked Sherlock Holmes to dinner.
She just asked Sherlock Holmes to dinner.]
Any time! :3
When she asks him to have dinner with her, several alarms go off in his head. No, he shouldn't have dinner with her because it would be dangerous. No, she could start asking the wrong questions. No, he could - nix that - he would not slip up and give her dangerous information since he's too careful for that. No, he probably won't be hungry and whatever they eat would most likely not settle well with him.
The desire for some reminder of home is a powerful motivator.]
Dinner would be lovely, Molly. Your house, two hours from now. I don't do leafy vegetables, chickpeas, or shellfish.
[Don't worry, Molly. Sherlock doesn't associate the invitation with a date thing.]
no subject
Molly gapes, amazed she hasn't been brushed off with a scathing comment. He would come to her flat, he would eat her food. He would spend time with her. She is at a loss for words at first, and then she has to fight tears.
She worries about him so much, knowing he's out there on his own, with all that adversity. It keeps her up at night, even after all this time.
But she forces a smile, and nods.]
Two hours. I'll be there. —I mean, of c-course I'll be there, it's my place. Um...
[Stop talking, Molly. Start thinking of what you can make with those restrictions.]
See you soon?
no subject
Right...
[He turns away from her then, wondering if he'd done something right or something wrong by accepting the invitation. It hardly matters as it's already done and he's not the type to waffle about his decisions.]
Two hours. I already know the address.
[He kneels down to continue his inspection of his grave, picking up right where he'd left off when he'd noticed Molly approaching him.]
