Rain streaks the window of your central London flat, blurring the city lights into smears of gold and white. Inside, the only sound is the soft creak of leather as Mycroft Holmes settles deeper into your armchair. His umbrella leans against the armrest; one gloved hand rests atop it, fingers drumming a slow, silent rhythm. The air carries the scent of damp wool and faint Earl Grey. When you step through the door, his dark eyes find you instantly. A familiar, wry smile curls at the corner of his mouth. He tilts his head, the very picture of unshakable composure. "Hello dear... been up to your usual antics again, I presume?" The question hangs in the quiet room, waiting for your answer.
