god just ANY TIME this scene happens sjahkgkjla
IN CASE YOU FORGOT, the first time Holmes and Moriarty lay eyes on each other in the Canon, it is, in fact, for five minutes, and they are, already, motherfucking experts on each other and then, it turns out, about as courteously arch as it’s possible to be while one is frightened for his life and the other for his all-consuming criminal empire.
My nerves are fairly proof, Watson, but I must confess to a start when I saw the very man who had been so much in my thoughts standing there on my threshold. His appearance was quite familiar to me. […] He peered at me with great curiosity in his puckered eyes.
‘You have less frontal development than I should have expected,’ said he at last. ‘It is a dangerous habit to finger loaded firearms in the pocket of one’s dressing-gown.’
The fact is that upon his entrance I had instantly recognised the extreme personal danger in which I lay. The only conceivable escape for him lay in silencing my tongue. In an instant I had slipped the revolver from the drawer into my pocket, and was covering him through the cloth. At his remark I drew the weapon out and laid it cocked upon the table. He still smiled and blinked, but there was something about his eyes which made me feel very glad that I had it there.
‘You evidently don’t know me,’ said he.
‘On the contrary,’ I answered, ‘I think it is fairly evident that I do. Pray take a chair. I can spare you five minutes if you have anything to say.’
‘All that I have to say has already crossed your mind,’ said he.
‘Then possibly my answer has crossed yours,’ I replied.
‘You stand fast?’
‘Absolutely.’
Sarah. What have I told you about giving me Holmes/Moriarty feelings?
