Author's Note: A continuation of my earlier double drabble 'A Holmes in Wolf's Clothing.'

“It is lost on you, Watson.”

“Not at all. There was a love story and the massacre. The libretto helped tremendously.”

“Not the opera!”

“Then what?”

“Lycanthropy.”

I laughed.

“It is no jest. I observe. My mind makes connections.” He snapped his fingers. “If I had but a fraction of your acuity, no criminal would be safe!”

“Holmes…”

“Your sense of smell. Your hearing. Night and peripheral vision. They are lost on you!”

“They only surface in my altered state, Holmes.”

“No matter! I would spend the full moon here, solving crimes, not frolicking about wooded fairylands!”

“Now see here, I like frolicking.”

Holmes snorted.

“Some of us enjoy exercise for exercise’s sake, Holmes.”

He sat up suddenly.

“Do you hear the pawing, the snorting, Watson? Is there a wolf at the door, my dear man?!”

I strode across the room and threw open the door.

“It is Mrs. Hudson.”

“Your cocoa!” she barked.

“Thank you so very much,” I said quickly, taking the tray.

When she had left, he whispered, “Do you think Mrs. Hudson…?”

“I think Mrs. Hudson is tired of catering to our whims. An early birthday gift would not go amiss.”

“I have just the thing.”

I'm really not sure Mrs Hudson will appreciate the hat and matching muff. Especially if they come with bits of leaf attached.

Watson, please vet anything Holmes plans to give her.

Watson should check it for fleas, too.

Ah, the opera and Mrs. Hudson bringing up the cocoa - the chain of inspiration continues, I see ^_^

Your first three lines made me laugh so much ^__^ And: “Now see here, I like frolicking.” And of course Mrs. Hudson pawing and snorting at the door ^^

Yup. From the comment on your fic. Thank you! If I can think of another pun, I'll continue.
