I don't usually regale others with its music.

[But he concedes, of course, after he's put down the remainder of what he thinks he owes her, gently picking up the instrument, and beginning to play.

It's different than an actual fully wooden-constructed violin, there's a more metallic, hollow sound to it. He doesn't like playing so boldly in the street, but he does like showing off, and she asked.
At least it's not Mendellssohn, though he could play it if she asked.]

[ She claps when he's done, a small smile crossing her face. Despite it's metallic nature, Cinder likes it. It's odd, but beautiful. She can appreciate the strangeness. ]

It's pretty.

[ Iko is thankfully elsewhere, so she doesn't bombard Sherlock. ] Are you sure you're not really part of the orchestra?

[desecrated]

[Sherlock just smiles and puts the violin in its case. It's rather clear he's fond of the instrument, treating it almost like a separate limb.] And if I was? [He wasn't really planning on doing that, but she doesn't know that, does she?] I am simply hear to receive repairs and return home.

[cyberella]

Were you on vacation then?

[ He's missing the festival if he leaves now. And he's clearly not from around here. So she's curious. ]

[desecrated]

Not exactly. I was here to get repairs for the violin. I have work at home. [He pulls out a simple business card that says "Sherlock Holmes, Consulting Detective. Interesting cases only please. thescienceofdeduction.co.uk."

It's a very simple, straightforward business card, though there's a small chemistry set in the right corner.] You don't look like a person who often encounters murders, but in case something should happen in the future...

[He sets the card on her workdesk. The business card has no phone number, only the website. People get the wrong idea about handing out cards with phone numbers, it seems. This is all business. An exchange. He's very happy in the partnership he has. John would like her, though.]

[cyberella]

[ It's a long way to come for repairs. But she smiles and looks at the card before dragging her gaze up to him again. ]

I'm kind of hoping I can avoid that whole thing for like the rest of my life. [ Murders, danger, drama. It doesn't feel like something that could find her here in New Beijing. But ti's kind of him to offer. ]

I'll keep it just in case though. I hope you don't have to break your violin over anyone's head again.

[desecrated]

[He smiles at that, pleased. His life isn't fun without them, but - he can see why she'd want to avoid them.]

I should hope the same. Good day to you, Miss.
[John would be proud for how courteous he's been, this visit.]

[cyberella]

Uh, good day!

[ She watches him go, slightly bemused. It's a shame she'll forget about this when the murder actually happens. ]
