My family has the same ability I have, just not to my extreme. Once Mycroft and Lestrade left, she confronted us about it. Quite happy, I’d say.
She was very pleased.
Can I have my blowtorch back now?
No. Not yet, though your behavior has improved.
For f***’s sake, John.
Nevermind.
He’d probably shoot the person. He does that rather frequently when I’m involved.
Or I could carefully decide the best option depending on the situation..
Improbable.
Is that so?
Yes. Why do you continue staring at the clouds?
I like to watch them.
How could you possibly enjoy that?
It’s entertaining. You can make shapes out of them.
You’ve gone mad, John. Good thing we’re stopping a Bart’s later.
You’re the one collecting dirt and grass samples to experiment on when we get back to the flat.
And how is that bad?
It’s not- just odd.
Oh really?
I’m not going to fight with you. We’re in public- we’re having a reasonably nice time. I won’t let you ruin this.
You sound like my mother.
You sound grouchy.
I’ll attempt to stop, fine?
Perfect.
