[An interesting room, it speaks more to Stephen's devotion to his craft than his generally irreverent behaviour would suggest. Something to keep in mind for the future.]
Of course I can pull you off.
[He is, after all, an excellent actor. He switches fairly flawlessly into a copy of Stephen's accent.]
I'll just ask them what they think a cloak is, if not a costume? It's the most time-honoured of Halloween accoutrements.
[Stephen pauses with his hand on the outfit he was looking for, staring for a moment. Sometimes...sometimes he remembers how weird it is to share a face with Sherlock. This is one of those moments; while no one is ever really used to hearing his voice from the outside, the accent is familiar enough to be unnerving for a second.
He stirs back into motion with an amused snort, pulling out his blue tabard and tossing it to land on the desk before he goes looking for corresponding trousers.]
And you're probably just too good for costumes anyway, so that's me in the clear. You going to tell John?
[Just a mild little comment. Sherlock was so vehemently opposed to the beard before that he can't imagine it'll go without comment. The trousers are found and tossed to join the tabard, but he hesitates a second.]
[Having just one pair of boots seems to be an oversight to someone who's usually dressed so fancily that he looks like he's stepped out of a fantasy film.
He's going to ignore the concern about John noticing his growing facial hair, he'll find a way around it.]
[And he still hasn't gotten around to wishing for extras. Bad enough he had to wish for a replacement when he got high and fried one of his boots in a magic experiment.]
Why do you need to figure something else out? I just told you to take some of mine, problem solved.
[It's not an offer made out of generosity. But much like he never cared if John needed his money for things, he doesn't particularly see much point in not giving away possessions if people need them and he doesn't.]
[One eyebrow raises in amusement, before he addresses the cloak directly.]
I am loaning my Heart for the occasion, surely you are not implying that Stephen is so pitiful as to be incapable without your protection for the evening?
[Stephen shoots him a glare, because which of them is both a neurosurgeon and a sorcerer, again?]
Or it's worried it's going to be obligated to protect you the next time you get stabbed in the back. Which it's not, by the way.
[Sherlock's words are what finally gets Levi to let go and let Stephen swing it off his shoulders. Rather than waiting for Sherlock to reach for it, though, the cloak slips around behind the detective to attach itself to his back, seeming somehow to project the impression that it's sulking all the while. It's warm and heavy, and there's a certain tension across his shoulders where it lies.]

I suppose I'm going to have to go without shaving for a while.

You'll have to get the boots from me that day.

So. The cloak, you need to persuade it to sit on my shoulders.

Or maybe you're afraid of Sherlock? Can't be.

The whole point of relics is that they house power a human can't handle channeling directly.
