[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.]

[Which is...not great in terms of things Sherlock could get into, but probably less harmful than if he were to ask after some random magic and get his hands on something really dangerous. And, too, Stephen hopes his defeated air will make Sherlock think that's the only reason he's given in as far as this. Maybe if Sherlock tries to take the books home and hoard them he'll run into the same wall Stephen did and find himself unable to access them at all.]
