Library [09/05]
After last week's busy shift in the library, and a particularly active week besides, Jono was very much not in a state of mind to go above and beyond the call for the job, today. He was here, and he was attempting to shelve things when he saw things that needed to be shelved, and now and again he'd pick up a rag and try to dust.
But, well, he never got too far in any one task, because there were some very industrious helping hands hanging around, grabbing books and rags and anything else that he could get into before he could get into very much at all. And then patting him on the shoulder or the head or the ankle, wherever a disembodied hand happened to be able to reach from their particular vantage point, and pointing back toward the desk.
He would have decided that they were being condescending, if not for the fact that he was fairly inclined to just sit and do a whole lot of nothing in particular today anyhow.

... Because it seemed far more diplomatic than informing Holmes that he wanted to ask Watson if he was insane or just a saint for putting up with his antics.

"What do you mean the state?" Sherlock asked, promptly forgetting poor Jono was there once more. "There is a cleaning staff on hand."

... Not that he really had very far to creep to, of course. There were a couple of books that belonged too high up for the Things to reach, and so those were apparently his only duty for the day. But if he could sort through them quickly enough, then with any luck, he'd be able to creep away with the book cart before this phone call could end.
Wishful thinking.
