Whether it's the touch or the humming, Sherlock responds positively. His face relaxes into a more peaceful expression and some of the tension releases out of his shoulders. It's good for that, since he'd been pinching the IV line and if it had gone on any longer, the monitor might have given his brother a start.

The black visage turns to a night sky. Hundreds of stars and a full moon to see by. He's alone and sitting in a wooden structure he'd designed himself and had the help build for him. An arc of some sort that's got a likeness to a sea ship. Hoisted above him is a jolly roger flag.

"Our anchor's aweigh and our sails are all set
Bold Riley, oh, boom-a-lay"

He's standing on the quarter deck just above the captain's cabin (that's his special room that he doesn't let anyone in. In his hands, he's got a telescope that he's using to look up at the night sky while he sings one of his shanties along with his 'crew'.

"The folks we are leaving, we'll never forget
Bold Riley, oh, gone away"

He points the telescope over toward the large house across the way. Inside, he can see Admiral Mycroft sitting in his big, comfortable Admiral's chair in the Admiral's quarters. His arch nemesis and the man who comes and makes problems for this virtuous pirate's heart.

"Goodbye, me darling. Goodbye, me dear, oh
Bold Riley, oh, boom-a-lay
Goodbye, me darling. Goodbye, me dear, oh
Bold Riley, oh, gone away"

Admiral Mycroft looks over at him and he shrieks, ducking down and running to hide behind the mizzen's base. He peers around the cylinder of wood and uses the telescope to seek out the nasty Admiral and his fat old face.
