[...He's just doing what he felt was necessary. It's nothing that would require a gesture like this. What he would want to say, but he knows it's better to just accept than decline when it comes to these things. Less of a headache.

He does enjoy a good batch of coffee beans though, it's true. And these...they smell of decent quality at least.]

Don't bother with surprise gifts. I would have thrown this out if I didn't know who it came from.

[ They're from Surasthana Cafe, so of course they are decent quality. Kaveh knows coffee. ]

And if you had, I would not have known otherwise. Do not make more of this than it is. You are not the only one I've delivered something to.

[ They're just coffee beans. It's not like it's something he spent time making and personalizing. ]

[wherethereislight]

Hmph. Would have been a waste on your part. [The coffee can be the best of the world, but he isn't going to trust it not knowing who it's from. He starts to walk towards the detective, moving pass him to return to his boat.]

Don't let me further delay you then.

[ Would it have been a waste on his part? He would have gotten the satisfaction of having picked out and left a gift, and he wouldn't have been there to see Shadow reject the gift.

Unlike now. And it hurts. No matter how much differs or what he does, he is still Sherlock Holmes...

He lifts his chin up, putting on a mask of indifference. ]

Your sentiments have been noted.

[ He'll use his ring of returning this time. Sure, he'll probably have to backtrack to deliver his next gift, but it seems worth it now. ]

[wherethereislight]

[Do whatever you feel necessary, detective. He will return to his ship to further inspect the gift of coffee beans in the privacy of his plant room. Every bit of those coffee beans will eventually be used and eaten in the coming days. A satisfaction, that will likely remain unspoken.]

To make this a proper 5 comment thread...

[ Arriving in front of his apartment on the second floor of the Surasthana Cafe, Sherlock unlocks his door, closes it behind him, and slides down until he sits on the ground. There is a lesson in this, he thinks. He's gotten too used to people's company. He'll always be the odd one out and left alone in the end. And in a few days...

Sherlock pulls his knees to his chest. Damn it. Goddamn it. ]
