I'm just saying that if that doesn't work, please don't feel like you have to suffer in silence, mate. Everyone knows you're not going to be abusing them like some people would.
I can understand wanting to get out of Alfie's way, though. I really do appreciate this, again. Sherlock's refusing to leave me, and while that's sweet, he's also a miserable bastard right now. We really need to get those violin strings.
[There's a little sigh, but Stephen doesn't respond any further to the point about the Vicodin. He sees the logic, and he's self aware enough to know that if it were one of his patients instead of himself he'd be saying the same thing. If the supply weren't low, he'd take it in a heartbeat.]
Or he could get over it....
[Just saying.]
No, I know. I've got some things I can hand out over there anyway, so this makes sense right now.
Sherlock Holmes get over something? You're funny, Stephen. You could do a comedy routine with that!
[Yeah, no.]
Good, though. Killing two birds with one stone. I'll let Mary know you'll meet her there. Take good care of her or I'll have to kill you. Husbandly duty, you know?

Right. No pressure.
We'll be fine. I've gone through the ruins twice now. I'll take her to all the best spots.

Really, though, thanks again, Stephen. If you ever need anything, you can count on me.

Take care of yourself. And Sherlock, I guess.

[He'll disconnect after that.]
