[Closed]
Characters: 004 and John Watson
Location: Shopping District
Rating: Gen?
Time: November 20, evening
Description: 004 and Watson bump into each other, meister abilities are discovered.
Today was not as tiring as the day before, or even the ones before that (when he had to suffer through Kadaj most painfully). Many of the invalids in the clinic had already been discharged, and for the first time in what felt like so many days, Watson thought that he could finally take some time off to be on his lonesome.
Walking outside the clinic was often a challenge after a stressful period. His trauma made him recoil from people who accidentally stepped into his personal space. The clinic was more or less permanently gifted the services of that Shibusen technician who lent his calming abilities to the place, making Watson feel less anxious while around the man. Unfortunately, out here in the rest of the city, he was granted no such reprieve.
Vaguely, he wondered if this was how Holmes feels like regarding the use of morphine, and vowed to wean himself off the dependency when he was feeling less ragged. Eventually. For now, he was in search of a store still open to purchase a new tin of tea.

Watson carefully lifted the mug of tea to his lips and took a sip, almost making a face at how long he'd let the bag steep.
no subject
"I'll be sure to keep you updated. I'm with the Watch- to tell the truth, I should be on patrol right now. But this seemed worth taking the time to hear."
On that note, he pushed his chair back and stood, adjusting his coat.
"Thanks again. Maybe I'll see you around again soon, Dr. Watson... do you mind if I call you John?"
no subject
"Not at all, not at all. Though, would you have a name that you would prefer to go by?" Watson asked as he stood up, reaching with his hand for another shake. His expression, this time, was warm instead of pensive.
no subject
"Just Zero Zero Four is fine, though you can shorten it to Four if you like." One person had already given him that nickname of sorts, and it seemed like less of a mouthful for those unaccustomed to the name.
no subject
"Four it is, then. I thank you for obliging me with your time." Watson, on the other hand, would have to stay in the café, to finish his tea at least.
