( awkward, yes, but not.. in a bad way. which was something she was loathe to admit to herself anyway. how could it be anything but bad? how could it have become comfortable over so short a span of time? )
You could've been in less of a hurry to move out. Makes me wonder what you really think of me.
[ Of course he knows exactly what the reason was. It's just simpler that way. But making dry remarks like that is easier than talking about it more sincerely. ]
( dry remarks, at the very least, draw a laugh from her. )
I thought I'd leave you to explain the nature of our ... relationship. Or lack thereof. At the very least, he would listen to you.
( that's only half true. she'd run away, to be frank. the two of them, john and sherlock, formed a twosome. a place where she didn't, and would never, belong. )
( and she would tell the truth. the question is: would sherlock believe it? it seemed he was inclined to think the worst of her, so perhaps it would be more difficult for him to trust her motives. )
He can always jump to the wrong conclusions and that may make things difficult for you.

I take it you two are living together again.

I do hope you've been doing our story justice.

[ Pause. ]
I haven't ... exactly mentioned it.
voice.
( she's surprised by his patience. or perhaps he wants to try and deduce it for himself. )
Very unlike him. I'd have thought he'd be snooping into it right now.

voice.
( that was what they would be. a problem. a conundrum. something to be solved. )
Any idea on what you may tell him?
voice.
I don't think I have to explain it to him anyway. He can think what he likes.
[ Maybe.
It kind of depends, if he's going to be honest. Still, the sentiment is there. Sherlock doesn't really need to know. He's not their dad. ]

Difficult how, exactly?
