The Science of Deduction, Friday
Sherlock was not alone in class today. There was the possibly familiar, much shorter man there with him. John if you really had to get technical.
"We were supposed to discuss the importance of practical knowledge of the human form, but there's apparently laws about allowing minors access to legally obtained body parts," Sherlock said, maybe acting like someone told him there was no Christmas. And not because Santa was murdered.
"So we thought we'd... bring you some slides." John was politely not letting on that perhaps being woken up at five by someone raging about 'ridiculous child protection laws' was not exactly his idea of a good time. Very politely. "Diagrams. That sort of thing. It's always helpful to have a background in this, ah, material. If you're going to be examining bodies."
He didn't rant! It was just a loud, angry soliloquy.
"I don't see how I can be expected to teach anyone properly if they're not broken of their ingrained squeamishness," Sherlock snapped.
"They're children," John shot back, frazzled as he was over having this argument for hours running now. "I'm sure they'll get to that bit in due time, but not now. Can we please move on?"
"Fine," Sherlock smoothed the lapels of his suit, taking a moment to look terribly uppercrust about this. "Enjoy your videos."
John smiled. Kindly. "And it's... nearly the holiday," he said, smoothly, "So we thought we'd bring you some sweets up front." He put down a jar of candies shaped like eyeballs.
... Why yes, he'd selected those as a replacement for the very real eyeballs Sherlock had been trying to smuggle into class earlier. John had eagle eyes.
