Dictated; Open to Action for Conan's room

[deductiongeek]

 [Today was the Fourth of May.  It was his birthday.  

But Conan was in no mood to celebrate.

He should have been turning twenty today. He should have been in university by now.  He should have been starting his life as an adult.

But even after three years, Conan still didn't look a day over seven.  He still hadn't made any progress towards finding a cure or stopping the Black Organization.  

He was beginning to lose hope.

So instead of going out into the castle today, and meeting any of the people who might know of his birthday, Conan had chosen to lock himself in his room with nothing but his Holmes novels. After hours of reading alone, he finally chooses to open up his journal.]

The Fourth of May, huh. Reichenbach Falls.

[Conan is silent for a long moment.]

I wonder how long it was that Arthur Conan Doyle truly intended to leave the 'Adventure of the Final Problem' as the last Holmes story.

Going on another detective story binge?

[deductiongeek]

Just rereading Holmes.

[forsometimenow]

Any particular reason?

[deductiongeek]

I don't need a reason for it.

[By which he meant that yes there was a reason.]

[forsometimenow]

Of course you don't. But that doesn't mean there isn't one.

[deductiongeek]

There isn't.

[forsometimenow]

If you say so.

[deductiongeek]

Of course I say so. Why is this an issue?

[forsometimenow]

No reason.
