Weeks had passed since the great snowfall had been cleared away. Last night’s accumulation was meagre in comparison, yet slippery enough to warrant caution. Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson paused during their walk. 

Watson toed the snow with his boot to assess its compacting qualities:  the clump held together in a satisfactory way. The ghost of a smile passed his face.

‘In the words of the playground vernacular, ‘Don’t start something you cannot finish’, Doctor’, warned Holmes, taking a step back.

Watson grinned, already deciding against taking action. Knowing that he could still be considered a threat was good enough.

.oOOo.

I love how Holmes is acting all nonchalant, but takes a step back anyway *snerk*

Poor Holmes! He knows that he would be sorely outclassed in a snowball fight with Watson! Thank you for commenting!
