[Maybe they should get something that's a chalkboard on one side and a corkboard on the other. Heizou has seen those little tack marks on Sherlock's walls. And he gets it, so... Add that to the list.
Heizou gives Sherlock a big, boyish grin at that comment, eyes playful. It really is so nice to see the other detective giving as good as he gets. To see something relaxed in the midst of everything else that's going on with him. Heizou knows there's a lot.]
Well, I guess it's not entirely impossible to think that I may have fallen asleep at my desk while looking over case files. In which case, I'll just have to forgive you for the intrusion~
[Just. Make sure Heizou is really alone in his locked office before trying anything...]
I shall keep that in my mind, although I will likely know when you have a client.
[ Despite thinking about Lyney coming over enough to warrant having a desk of his own, Sherlock doesn't take that thought one step further to more scandalous ideas. (People pretending to have a fertility rite during a sexually charged party are having actual sex?!) ]
We should set aside a place to make coffee and tea. We can drink it when we are in midst of analyzing evidence or offer it to clients. Though perhaps those details are better decided when we find an actual place.
[ Which is still part of the challenge of starting this agency. ]
[Heizou chuckles, pleased, as he notes down the new suggestion.]
No, I think those are good details to think about at this stage. Better to have a strong picture in mind as we go in, and be prepared to have to compromise based on what's available to us. A spot for coffee and tea shouldn't take up too much room, anyway, so we'll keep it on the list.
[He pauses for a moment to look over their list, thoughtfully tapping the pen to his chin.]
We should maybe think more about the features of the office itself, now. Do you prefer it to be on ground level? Would it bother you if it had no windows to provide natural light?
[ Sherlock gives his drink a small swirl as he thinks. Nothing comes to mind because well... ]
London is a dreary place, prone to days of rain and thick fog or smoke. Gaslight or candlelight are what I am used to. I've held consultations in my sitting room which require my clients to be let in and then go up the stairs, twenty-one steps, to my flat.
[ He has used the number of steps to the flat to explain the difference between seeing and observing. People usually cannot give him an answer when he asks it of them. It's 17 21 steps. ]
That is to say that what you might deem negatives is what I would consider the usual.
