Snippet

He blushed again. “Thanks. It’s a little odd; I mean, who has their portrait painted these days?”

She smiled up at him. “Because the boys of Baker Street are so famously conventional?”

John reached for her hand and tugged her to standing. “Ha, ha. I seem to recall you charging a man in an attempt to drive a spear through him once upon a time. And on our first date!” he added in a scandalised tone. “You were lucky to get a second after that.”

“If you could find an actually murderous girlfriend Sherlock might find her interesting enough to share you with her.”

“Never going to happen. I’ve basically accepted it. I’m happy enough with the mad bastard as things stand.”

From across the room, Sherlock announced, “The keyboard is now in working order.”

“And it’s a good thing too, since I believe we’re about to dance around our sitting room for the amusement of all our friends and relatives.”

Sarah’s eyebrows shot up. “What?”

Oh yes, I like the snippet muchly! Especially the line about the mad Asgard (I was trying to type bastard but the iPad autocorrected and it was too amusing to switch back) :D
On a different note, did the stuff about the bullets help?

Both you and your autocorrect are fabulous. :-) The stuff about the bullets did help immensely, thank you. I"m just back online after hiding away for a bit :-) I think it won't be too difficult to pick a reference/bullet number which both John and his army buddy Bond, James Bond, would instantly recognise. In this case commonly-used weapons will probably do the job, and those you provided brilliantly!
