[John Watson]

Hey Sherlock. I was wondering if you would like to go out to dinner with me? When I get off work. - JW

[Sherlock Holmes]

Sherlock to Watson
Need you ask twice? As long as you're paying, I'll be there. - SH

[John Watson]

Will you go out on a date with me? To dinner. Of course I'm paying Sherlock. - JW

[Sherlock Holmes]

Sherlock to Watson
When I asked 'need you ask twice,' it meant you didn't need to. Has two years apart turned your brain to mush, Watson? Good, I wouldn't have it any other way. I think Mycroft froze my assets again... - SH

[John Watson]

Well maybe it was you that has turned my brain to mush, Sherlock. That bloody... whatever, well I will have to talk to you about that later.

How does 7:30 at the Racine sound? - JW

[Sherlock Holmes]

Sherlock to Watson
That bloody what? Do go on, you've intrigued me. What were you about to say? Don't try to brush it off. Better idea. You buy the ingredients for your favorite meal and I'll cook it. We'll have dinner at the flat. Big brother doesn't want me outing myself to the public just yet. Bad for his reputation or whatever the bloody hell he's been going on about. - SH

[John Watson]

Oh, I thought it would be appealing to you. It's best to not talk about it here. It's about your funds if you must know. Alright, we can do that instead. No, I'll do the cooking Sherlock. Really? How much longer is he going to be 'sheltering' you to protect his sorry behind? - JW

[Sherlock Holmes]

Sherlock to Watson
No, tell me. If it's about my funds, I want to know. What do you know that I obviously don't? Afraid I'll burn down the kitchen? My guess, concerning Mycroft, is he'll wind up sheltering me for as long as he needs to. Best case scenario is he locks me in a cupboard for the rest of my life and forgets that I exist. - SH

[John Watson]

Let's say I changed your funds over to another bank. The card is in my safe under my bed. I will allow you this once to get into it. Mycroft does not know that I did that, let's say I bribed the banker. Yeah, and I will be the one breaking you out of that cupboard as well as his nose. I'm making the dinner because you are my date Sherlock. - JW

[Sherlock Holmes]

Sherlock to Watson
You? Bribe a banker? My, my...things have changed. All you need to do is buy the ingredients, Watson. I can cook well enough. Better yet, we can cook together and make quite the little adventure out of it. Admittedly, I do fear what Mycroft might do, should he discover your dirty secret, regarding the card. With my older brother, it's always just a matter of time, especially with that personal assistant of his at his beck and call. - SH

[John Watson]

Yes I bribed a banker. A lot has changed Sherlock. Alright I will buy the ingredients, and help cook. You know as well as I do that I am not scared of your brother, he is just all talk.. like when I first met him. - JW
