*squeals* Sherlock explaining things to a child is the absolute best. He takes Reed’s questions so delightfully seriously. Poor Reed.
Alec had been watching with his mouth wide open. He felt very disgruntled that Reed, at four years old, had managed to have a flowing conversation with Sherlock, when Alec, at thirty-five, was still mostly hopeless at it.
Hahahahaha, you have to match the mental age Sherlock is projecting in order to have a proper conversation with him, clearly. :)
I really like Alec’s mental decoding of Sherlock’s deductive process about Josh. That was perfect, and sometimes it’s nice to have it spelled out like that, to realize just how amazing Sherlock really is.
Also, I’m very pleased Sherlock did get his RSVP in (and that it was positive). That makes me really happy.
