[ John appreciates it all more than he can say right now. He sits on the couch and lets Agatha jump down to the floor, sniffing all around the floor and under the couch.

When Khan asks, John shakes his head. ]

I-I don't know. I was...

[ He swallows hard and takes in a slow, labored breath. ]

I was at the clinic all day. Came home and... there was blood everywhere.

Again.

[ He rubs at his face before shaking his head again. ]

I don't know how it happened. I couldn't--I couldn't see any wounds on him.

[As talking about this even the littlest bit is upsetting for John, Khan figures they should wait till they've both gotten some rest. If they can.]

You're welcome to the couch till he returns.

[Because he always returns. Never really gone. Like a cockroach.]

I'm sure we'll find out what happened when Holmes is alive one more.

[He's not exactly the most comforting of people, but he truly believes Sherlock will be back. If that's anything.]

[acclimatize]

[ John knows how Khan feels about Sherlock - and his relationship with him - so he appreciates his restraint when he could do much worse as far as "comforting" goes.

He keeps his eyes down to the floor for the most part, looking up at Khan to say, ]

Thank you.

[ Taking in the Augment's appearance for the first time since he came in. ]

I'm sorry if I woke you.

[iambetter]

You didn't.

[Not exactly. He'd not fallen asleep yet, though he'd started to nod off a little. Right in between. Not a problem really.]

Would you like company or do you need to be alone?

[Just because he came here didn't mean John wanted to talk, he just needed some place not where Sherlock was dead.]
