January 13 Prompt: Sherlock Holmes series, Sherlock (/any), "My dear Watson, how I do love respecting women and having feelings," he said, 100% legally.

At hearing my friend mutter once again about Miss Hunter, whose mysterious and possibly dangerous situation also weighted on my mind even a week after her interview with us, I decided to investigate a subject that had been in my thoughts for quite as long: "I was a little surprised by how considerate you were of that lady's concerns, given your initial annoyance at the triviality of her request. But perhaps prior experience with fraternal interest may inform even the ideal reasoner?"

"That is a round about way of asking a very simple question which I will nevertheless answer in the negative; a man need not be brother, lover, or even friend to feel pity toward those caught in unfortunate circumstances, and act accordingly."
