[He doesn't wait an hour before sending back a reply.]

This isn't funny, Sherlock.

<S.Holmes>

[detectivision]

[A good thirty minutes or so later--]

Did I sound like I was joking? I certainly hope not.

Your help is needed here. I am quite serious.

<Bootyyyshaker9000>

[soft_shelled]

I assume you have some kind of sense of humor, even if it's a bad one.

And there's no reason for me to be there.

<S.Holmes>

[detectivision]

I do indeed -- a dry and bitter one. Perhaps that sort of humour can be found in the fact that what has transpired closely resembles a nightmare disclosed to me only a few weeks ago, but it does no good to dwell on it.

If there were no reason for you to be here, I would not be asking you to come, Donatello.

<Bootyyyshaker9000>

[soft_shelled]

Hm.

If it was something with Leo you would have led with that though, and he's the only reason I have to come back there.

<S.Holmes>

[detectivision]

You're right. It's not Leo. It is Bucky.

<Bootyyyshaker9000>

[soft_shelled]

[Ah, well that's...]

So the last person you want me to be around.

<S.Holmes>

[detectivision]

On the contrary. If you are willing to help, I am willing to extend provisional trust.

Again: if I weren't, I would not be asking for your assistance.

<Bootyyyshaker9000>

[soft_shelled]

Oh wow, provisional trust.

And what, is Leo incapable of handling this with you?

<S.Holmes>

[detectivision]

Indeed.

[He doubts Donnie was expecting complete and unconditional trust. This is an opportunity to earn it back. Personally, Sherlock feels Donnie would respect him less if this were blind trust, and he would be right.]

You are asking me a great deal of questions which ought to have been answered by my initial request for your help. The one in trouble is Bucky, I trust you enough to ask for this, and Leo's help alone is not sufficient, or we would not be having this conversation.

<Bootyyyshaker9000>

[soft_shelled]

[Honestly speaking, Donnie doesn't expect anything from Sherlock. Or Bucky. Even after everything in January.]

Your request was pretty insufficient, if we're being honest.

But fine, I'll come. But I'm not staying longer than necessary.

<S.Holmes>

[detectivision]

Thank you.

[It's a shame tone doesn't come across over text. This is sincere.]

<Bootyyyshaker9000>

[soft_shelled]

Don't thank me yet, there's still a chance for this to go pear shaped.

<S.Holmes>

[detectivision]

The "thank you" was for agreeing to come, and therefore stands. We will see if others are called for, or not.

<Bootyyyshaker9000>

[soft_shelled]

That's not really something to thank me for, though. Anyway I'll see you soon.

[And that'll be it from Donnie as he's making his way back to the dojo.]
