December 3: “Perfect weather.” (from KnightFury)

---

A/N: Watson’s POV.

It was a beautiful day, I thought, as I gazed out my bedroom window that morning. A light breeze, clear skies, mildly cool temperatures—ah!

“It’s a beautiful day outside,” I commented as I entered the sitting room, where Holmes was already seated at the table having breakfast.

“Mm,” he grunted in reply.

“Would you care for a stroll after breakfast?” I inquired as I seated myself across from him. “Through the park, perhaps?”

Holmes shrugged. “I am not sure I am in the mood…”

“It is rarely so nice outside,” I added.

“Well, perhaps, but…”

“It’s the perfect weather for a stroll.” I was wheedling now, and we both knew it.

“I, well, I…”

“And I suppose I could take a walk by myself, but I would much rather go with a friend.”

“Er…”

“Hm, perhaps today is Lestrade’s day off, I could always see if—”

“Fine!” Holmes exclaimed. “Fine, I shall take a walk with you!”

I grinned widely. “Thank you so much, old fellow!”
