Author:![[info]](https://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif?v=1)
capt_facepalm
Rating: PG-13
Fandom: Sherlock Holmes (Gaslight)
Characters: Sherlock Holmes, Wiggins
Summary: Some words of wisdom
Warnings: (cliché)
Word Count: 100
Author's Notes: July 19th prompt: ("A coward is incapable of exhibiting love; it is the prerogative of the brave.")
‘Go ahead, Wiggins, cry. Even if he was a drunkard, the man was your father. You owe him that much.’
‘But, Mr Holmes, you always say not to let my feelings show. They get in the way…’
‘You are probably too young to understand this, but for what it’s worth, my policy in that area may require… adjustment. I used to believe that sentiment was a distraction, or even worse, a failing. Now I have come to realise that allowing oneself to care is a risk only the brave undertake; something I learned this from the bravest man I know.’
