“Of course I can do that,” Sherlock agrees. He's doing that all the time, after all, isn't he?
“Be a rather crap detective if I didn't. Have to know how to get people to talk to you.” Never mind that he's not a detective yet, and probably never will be. Preparation is essential. Everyone else is doing it all the time, only they tend to follow the official rubric.
Most of them probably won't make it either. That doesn't entirely cheer Sherlock any, but it is somewhat relieving.
“Probably should've anticipated it.” He's close enough to bump his arm playfully against John's shoulder as they walk, and so he does, perhaps a little more roughly than is necessary but not hard enough to be painful.
