[for sherlock; kitchen]

John was making tea. It was something of a ritual, in fact. He found something different to look at every day he was here, but in the end, tea was always there for him. John was rather fond of tea.

There was someone else he suspected that he was rather fond of, though he couldn't say exactly how it was so. It was something that he needed to discuss with Sherlock.

Sherlock.

Everything else faded a bit when he thought about that too. Well. Now that John was able to think of his friend without wanting to crush his tea cup he thought maybe it was high time to actually see the other man, so he sent a short text, informing Sherlock of his location. Whether the infamous consulting detective would show? That was anyone's guess.

At some point in the day, John thought it might be nice to stop by the Hydroponics Lab and visit with Meja. She was a nice woman and one could never have enough of those in one's life. Until then, John's feet led him in search of another nice woman. The one that was unforgettable. Only, John seemed to have forgotten her.

He wanted to know why these memories were missing. She was a mystery. Not the kind that could be solved like a case. But.. the kind that took a lifetime to unravel. Here he was thinking thoughts that had no business being tied to strangers but.. well, John was a man of particular quirks of his own. Getting attached far too fast and far too easily was the very least of those.

In the meantime. He looked out for a door with Mary's name on it.

John stopped for several reasons, not the least of which was the fact that this was the first time someone had actually demanded anything of him.

And this person looked... a bit different than the rest of those he'd met.

"London, and John." In whichever order he preferred to take that.

Garrett leaned forward on his staff, adopting a more casual pose. His ears cocked to the side in a curious fashion. This newcomer spoke with the same sort of accent as a some others he had talked to.

"And where is this London? On Earth?" With each question, he hopped forward a little bit, closing the space between them.

"Well.. where else would it be?"

He was almost afraid to ask the question. John wondered if the answer he'd hear was something he would be able to accept. It wasn't a fear of disbelief, but one of acceptance that he might be all too comfortable with an idea that should be absolutely impossible.

The rapidly decreasing personal space has John nearly stepping back, but it was just a moment of indecision. He held his ground and offered a helpless kind of smile.

"Another world. There is more than just one, you know," he said rather casually, the way he might similarly mention that his favorite color was blue. He'd been amazed when he'd first arrived at the Science Center to discover other worlds, but he'd accepted the fact without too much fuss. Living in a world with magic had given him an open mind to impossibilities.

He mirrored John's grin. "I am Garrett." There was a slight pause, then he added, "Not from Earth."
