[ There is relatively loud exclamation of surprise in the background when the journal opens (or is knocked open, you never really know with it) followed by some more sounds, distress mostly and growing anger--what you would generally expect from a person who found something they were certainly not expecting. ]

Sherlock! [ It's faint at first, but the anger is unmistakeable when a door is slammed shut hurriedly. ]

Sherlock!

[ John marches into the kitchen, wrapped in his bathrobe, barely wet hair clinging to his forehead as it furrows in frustration. This is the last straw. He's had it. Little things have been nagging at him for weeks, little stupid things that didn't deserve more than a stern discussion (another chemical stain in the kitchen table, lungs where the leftovers used to be, waking up at two am to hammering--stupid things that are simply apart of living with Sherlock Holmes). ]

There are bees in the bathroom! The bloody--Why are there bees in the bathroom, Sherlock?

(ooc; open journal wise. they may both reply, if they feel so inclined. I WELCOME ALL THE THREAD JACKING.)

Because I'm really not in the mood. [ Which John will understand when it finally hits him, sadly that moment won't come for another hour or so. He needs to walk off his frustrations first. ]

[Mycroft's a patient man really but now seemed the better time to bug them then later. At least the journal was open.]

To explain what he has done? Surely it is not that particularly taxing on you to explain it all?

[ Sadly John doesn't appreciate this and is mere octaves away from full on yelling at him. ]

Yes, actually, it is very taxing to explain. So can you please drop it.

[And he really doesn't care. Besides the more anger out now the less between the other two men. Hopefully.

So yes he's just going to poke and prod some more here.]

Is it now? Then perhaps you should share it, it may be less burdensome yes? [Lets not drop it and say we did yes?]

Bloody hell, Mycroft! What about "no, I don't want to talk about it" is so hard for you to understand?

The fact that you continue to talk and have yet to shut the journal indicates that at some level, you do wish to share it.

Don't start that, Mycroft. Don't. [ Stop reading him over the bloody journal you ass. ]

Don't start what, John? Because I do believe I have not said anything wrong. Or bothersome. [Ahh no. Nice try though.]

Don't play stupid, it sounds worse on you than it does on Sherlock.

I would hardly know John, as I am hardly playing, as you put it, stupid. So do please enlighten me.

[ Groan. Mycroft you seriously picked the worst time to be bothersome. ] Not now.

[Really? He doesn't think so, it's actually a good time. Someone has to keep John and Sherlock you know, together. Somehow.] Yes, now John, otherwise you will simply avoid not only my brother but also myself. So do please, enlighten me.

I'd rather take my chances in avoiding you both.

And what do you think your chances are of avoiding us both John? [Think about it John.]

I'm sure I'll be able to manage. [ Probably very low. BUT HE REALLY COULDN'T CARE. ]

With no knowledge of my loss and lacking a person who knows my methods? [COME ON JUST SHARE JOHN!]

Yes. [ NOPE, NO SHARING. ]

John, I do believe, you should, just, share whatever is on your mind. Making such, presumptuous statements about your abilities does not become you. [And now he's sounding calm and just a touch sweet, just enough to you know, try and get him to spill.]

I'm not in the mood for sharing, Mycroft, I thought that much was obvious. [ NICE TRY. ]

And yet you are still speaking with me.

God knows why.

You are frustrated and someone is listening.

And you're just making me even more frustrated.

And yet you are still speaking, perhaps if you spoke of your frustrations, it may alleviate it, somewhat. [In other words spill and he'll try to help.]

[ A sigh. ]

You're worse than your brother, I hope you know that. [ At least he didn't poke and prod tirelessly. ]
