"My darling, normally I would love to distract you with sex, but we're in the middle of a serious conversation here," he teases and reaches for the waist of Watson's trousers. "Please, do try to keep your focus."
He tugs Watson's trousers off, mulling over this idea of a warning and a proper assassination attempt. Yes, the snake is a rather ridiculous and eccentric warning, but what other type would you send to Sherlock Holmes, if you knew him to be your enemy? The attempt on their lives tonight was dull, yes, and straightforward, but it'd been utilitarian. The attempt was on Watson's life, and once Holmes crowded Watson's space, shielded him, got too near, then the assassin didn't try to finish the job.
Someone wants to get through to Holmes.
"Perhaps its meaning will become clear," he murmurs, and he stands back to start shedding some layers of his own. "Would you care for anything else, my dear Watson? More brandy, a cigarette?"
