Irene Adler had many homes, and many more hiding places, but months after her death Sherlock was certain he'd found at least half those in the country. She had her many stolen jewels tucked away all over the apartment, and it took him the better part of the afternoon to dig them all out of their hidey holes. When he had them in his pockets, he went searching for someone else entirely.
Although they had their obvious differences, given their different environments, Sherlock found it was remarkably easy to track himself down.
"Making headway, I presume?"

"Is there ice?"
no subject
Date: 2012-07-07 05:29 am (UTC)He scrambles up--as fast as he can while limping, anyway--and goes to get dressed. He returns a half hour later wearing a disguise and carrying an ice block in a burlap sack.

Date: 2012-07-07 02:35 pm (UTC)And with help. His breath catches.
no subject
Date: 2012-07-07 09:13 pm (UTC)He picks up the ice bag and sets it on Sherlock's chest.
"As you requested."
no subject
Date: 2012-07-09 03:35 am (UTC)For the ice.
Obviously.
no subject
Date: 2012-07-09 03:36 am (UTC)"I assume you will need assistance in applying it to some of your...nether regions."
no subject
Date: 2012-07-09 03:39 am (UTC)Pushing the blanket back. He's still nude underneath it, bruises coming in back up and down one leg, especially on the hip he landed on.
no subject
Date: 2012-07-09 03:49 am (UTC)He takes off his coat and grabs the ice.
no subject
Date: 2012-07-09 03:55 am (UTC)He protests, hands lifting up to press over his mouth. Baring himself unconsciously.
no subject
Date: 2012-07-09 04:01 am (UTC)He finds a red, swollen mark on his hip and lightly holds the cloth with the ice there.
no subject
Date: 2012-07-09 04:02 am (UTC)"You said you invented ice therapy? It isn't common?"
no subject
Date: 2012-07-09 04:10 am (UTC)A very crude ice pack, sans ice. He sets it on Sherlock's poor ribs. Someday, it will be featured in First Aid kits everywhere.
"The chemicals are difficult to come by, so ice was the more prudent option. Hold that on."
no subject
Date: 2012-07-09 04:04 pm (UTC)He admits, holding it there, arching back.
"Maybe if we did this again, we could be more careful." He suggests, a tiny bit anxiously.
no subject
Date: 2012-07-09 05:13 pm (UTC)"Certainly. I admit that what we did was...unexpected."
no subject
Date: 2012-07-09 05:26 pm (UTC)He feels calm enough, finally, to admit it.
"My work will improve."
no subject
Date: 2012-07-09 05:39 pm (UTC)He pauses to tsk at a bruise low on Sherlock's leg.
no subject
Date: 2012-07-09 05:58 pm (UTC)"Where did you learn to fight? I can box perfectly competently-"

Date: 2012-07-10 12:27 am (UTC)He whispers, easing as his leg does.
"Better. Thank you."
no subject
Date: 2012-07-10 03:48 am (UTC)Because he finds it so strange that boxing has done so well for Sherlock, there.
no subject
Date: 2012-07-10 04:28 am (UTC)Is how his tired mind explains it right now. That's all he can manage.
