[Her first morning on the Barge - after a very brief moment of panic, an afternoon of focused backreading and a very short night's sleep - finds Alice sitting in the corner of the room, facing outwards, so she can people-watch while drinking her coffee.]

[Sherlock had managed to contaminate the sugar in his room with his most recent (failed) experiment. Attempt two required more sugar, and since here, he was unable to send John out to the shops, and since John had so irritatingly left early for the infirmary, he couldn't even send him to the kitchens. So, he'd braved the breakfast bustle, and was not-quite-sidling along the wall towards the drinks table.]

[She noticed him immediately - Sherlock Holmes' name had been rather glaringly obvious during her archive reading. She didn't watch him, exactly, but paid attention out of the corner of her eye until his wall-hugging route brought him past her table. Then she smiled.]

Not a morning person?

[Ugh, talking.] Morning is arbitrary. [By which he means, he hasn't gone to sleep yet. He gives her a perfunctory sweep with his eyes, noting surface details only.]

Re: 8.00am - Dining Hall likedarkmatter July 15 2011, 13:15:56 UTC

Morning is the time between midnight and noon, it doesn't have a thing to do with when you decide it is. [She sips her coffee.] On the other hand, in a place with no sun and no orbit to speak of I suppose that all time is arbitrary, isn't it? Decided only by consensus.

8.00am - Dining Hall byronicsherlock July 17 2011, 09:53:26 UTC

Consensus is irrelevant. To a person with jet-lag, morning is when their body clock tells them it's so. To people communicating across time-zones, morning is the afternoon, and vice versa.

[He reaches the side table and starts pouring sugar into a spare mug.] The label 'morning person' however, refers to someone obnoxiously cheerful from the moment they wake up. [He pauses in his pouring and shoots a look at her.] I am certainly not a morning person. [He says it like it's a swear word.]

[She makes a little noise of amusement.] Then that was a rather torturous route to saying 'no'.

8.00am - Dining Hall byronicsherlock July 17 2011, 19:34:21 UTC

I prefer the term, comprehensive.

Re: 8.00am - Dining Hall likedarkmatter July 22 2011, 13:15:09 UTC

Do you. [She cocks her head.] Day to day conversation must be absolutely excruciating for you if you can't let a casual remark go by unchallenged.

8.00am - Dining Hall byronicsherlock July 22 2011, 18:53:47 UTC

Quite. [He's not contesting that. He finishes with the sugar, then after a second's consideration, reaches for a second mug and pours himself some tea.]

Re: 8.00am - Dining Hall likedarkmatter July 24 2011, 13:49:42 UTC

[And finally she actually comments on what he's doing.]

A cup of sugar. Running some sort of experiment, or just preparing to be neighbourly in case someone comes round to ask?

8.00am - Dining Hall byronicsherlock July 25 2011, 21:05:24 UTC

Do I strike you as the neighbourly sort?

[Arch look.]

Re: 8.00am - Dining Hall likedarkmatter July 26 2011, 13:16:47 UTC

[She just laughs.] I'd hate you to imagine I was judging a book by it's cover.

8.00am - Dining Hall byronicsherlock July 26 2011, 20:10:53 UTC

[A flicker of a smile.] My cover is remarkably accurate.
