greatdeduction | PC CATCHALL FOR REX

[ can't tell if sholmes is actually this upset, or if he's just a sad drunk

either way, rex doesn't like it. i take it back, he doesn't love mess ]

...alright, well. This? [ gestures up and down at Sholmes and the wine bottle in hand ] This isn't gonna be helping anyone. So maybe let's just...get you to bed?

[ that's what you do with drunk people right?? ]

No, no, I'm fine, my dear boy.

[He pinches the bridge of his nose, lets out a sigh, and then seems to collect himself. Like, still definitely wobbling, but a bit more collected.]

Regardless...the time for such things can be put aside. One needs only look towards the mysteries at hand and put our focus there.

[ looking him over ]

...yeeeaaaaah, you don't exactly look like you're ready to do any solving today.

Oh this? This is nothing. You know, one time I got shot, and I still solved a mystery after the surgery! Haha.

[DON'T JUST ADMIT THIS CASUALLY]

Correctly?

Absolutely, yes!

Well...congrats, I guess. [ if he actually did solve it properly. which, rex isn't sure he did. he's not sure he trusts sholmes to be honest here--or to even truthfully know if he did at all. ]

But seriously? This isn't a good look on you, man. Go...sleep it off or whatever, I don't know.

Thank you, yes. Why, I even snuck out of the hospital to finish the deed and bring the necessary evidence to light. A great detective never rests.

[why is he like this]

Hm. And to which I say...I cannot "sleep it off". Not when there's so much to solve. SO much to do. This is only a...momentary hiccup, yes.
