Sherlock was possibly the best date ever. Because he was already on his phone, texting.

Best. Date. Ever.

Surprisingly enough, Alex didn't mind the texting. She was going to assume that Sherlock was very busy and working on something important, and be envious that no one was texting her right now. She'd ruined many a date with the need to go back to work in the middle of the night.

And so, she sat down across from Sherlock, nodded once, and sipped her drink.

"Do you need to take that?"

Yes. Because giving Sherlock the benefit of the doubt was going to end well.

"Not necessarily," Sherlock replied, glancing up just the once. "A lawyer then."

Re: Round 1: Alex Cabot / Sherlock Holmes

[glasses_justice]

"A prosecutor," she agreed, chin tilting upwards slightly. Either he'd connected her to her office in town, or she still dressed like a lawyer, even when she was off-duty. Either way, she had to admit she was a little impressed. "And a good one. What is it you do?"

"I am a consulting detective when not attempting to teach hormonal bags of flesh called teenagers." So kind to kids, this man.t

"Consulting detective?" Alex frowned. "I don't know the UK hierarchy, sorry. Some of the police I work with are detectives, and others have pseudo-military ranks, like Captain and Lieutenant."

Re: Round 1: Alex Cabot / Sherlock Holmes

[3patchproblem]

That got him to look up at least! "I'm not a police officer. I am called when they are out of their depth, which is more common than they care to admit."

Re: Round 1: Alex Cabot / Sherlock Holmes

[glasses_justice]

"Oh?" She raised an eyebrow at that. "I don't think we have any of those. Maybe New York can handle its own messes."

... Yeah. Someone had hometown pride.

Re: Round 1: Alex Cabot / Sherlock Holmes

[3patchproblem]

"I'm sure." Oh yeah, Sherlock had so much hope for the intelligence of all mankind.

He also had a bridge to sell you.

"We should compare close rates some time," Alex said, returning his look with a smug one of her own.

Sherlock was probably not the right person to brag to that about, no.

Re: Round 1: Alex Cabot / Sherlock Holmes

The timer chimed before anything could come of that. "Another time, Miss Cabot."

Re: Round 1: Alex Cabot / Sherlock Holmes

[glasses_justice]

"Another time," she agreed.

Round 1: Alexander of Daventry / Caroline Forbes

Sure they were only three minutes long, but Caroline was still strangely excited to see how the whole process of speed dating worked. Blah blah blah, it wasn't like she was looking for her soul mate. She was not Elena Gilbert. But there was nothing wrong with wanting to meet new people who happened to be boys and who might want to buy her dinner or take her dancing or hell, make out with her on occasion.

With all this in mind, she grabbed a drink from the bar and took a seat at her first table with a smile.
