audio;
It was Fiona.

[It comes out quiet and fervent. No wonder John was so messed up, he can't even imagine how he'd be if Steve had risen from the snow like that.]
Sorry.
[A pause.]
We'll make them sorry they used her that way.
no subject
[What else is there really to say?]
We have to go 'round the spiral first. The east side of the town's going to be more difficult to get through after that attack.
[He's talking about the video. Focusing on work. Just let him focus on something that isn't this.]
no subject
We're heading that way ourselves now, we're going to go through the Hsaioke pass.
no subject
no subject
[He should have, he was too selfishly caught up in his own grief.]
I think Clint did, I heard yelling.
no subject
[For a conversation he hasn't heard. But he's pretty sure Sherlock would have said something awful.]
no subject
You don't have to apologize to me about anything, John. [ Clint says, raising his voice so it can be heard over the audio feed. ]
no subject
I heard the yelling, Clint.
no subject
I do, Clint. I'm sorry. I've had to walk away from him before when he got like that... gets like that. He can be a right bastard. Anything he says when he's upset, though... it's the worst things. Please don't take it to mean those are the only deductions he has or that they're even the best thought-through ones. He just wants people to hurt as much as he does.
If there's anything I can do to make up for it, please let me know.
no subject
Nope. You're not the one who needs to apologize, so I'm not asking for you to do anything to make it up to me. [ Huff. ] He's a grown-ass man. He can apologize for himself. And if he won't, he won't.
no subject
[He owned his mistakes, let Sherlock own his own and apologise himself.]
no subject
no subject
Sorry, John, it's not gonna happen.
no subject
Can he really not help himself?
[Careful how you answer that, John. He'll be a lot more sympathetic to Sherlock if he thinks he really hasn't got the ability to control his brain to mouth filter, though it'll also make him sure there's something actually wrong with him.]
no subject
He's... I don't know, honestly. He stops himself sometimes, but other times he just gets so wrapped up in a thing, especially when he's upset, he doesn't react like he should. He knows what he should be doing. He knows manners and the like. It's like that switch that most people have got that tell them to shut up is turned off most of the time for him, and he has to take time to consciously flip it on, where most people have the default set to on.
no subject
He's gonna need to make sure he flips it on more often than not, because the guy is going to get himself killed if he doesn't, John. We're gonna try to make that not happen, but we're not the police, and we can't be everywhere at once. If he pisses off the wrong person, they can just kill him and they probably won't really get punished for it.
Might wanna tell him that.
no subject
[Sorry, John, Sherlock does not get a free pass today.]
I won't get involved with him over this, but Clint is right. He needs to be careful.
no subject
Sherlock doesn't care what other people think about him. He doesn't care when he provokes murderers or psychopaths or journalists or anyone. I'm the one who cares. I have to keep him... It's my job to keep him safe. [From himself, especially. And now instead of being unable to walk, he can't do anything with his hands. Even if it's only temporary, it feels like too much to deal with right now.]
I'll try. I just don't know what to do if people won't accept me acting as intermediary for him and apologizing on his behalf. He won't do those things, himself.
no subject
[ But. Clint is sympathetic to trying to keep people safe. Especially from themselves. ]
A lot of people here respect you, so they're probably not gonna try anything too terrible when it comes to Sherlock. Still. You can't really take all that responsibility, man, it's heavy.
no subject
Calm down, John.
[It's an order, rather than sympathy.]
He's not going to do that here, you can watch him. But you can't take responsibility for his actions because you feel guilty for what happened before, he makes his own choices.
no subject
Mm...
[It's a noncommittal sound.]
I'll try.
[His voice is quiet and he means that for more than just protecting Sherlock.]
no subject
There's a long pause for Clint, and then he sort of just rubs at the back of his neck and mumbles sorry. ]
cw: mention of suicide
Sherlock killed himself.
[And then he's back to John.]
Good. And don't worry so much, there's not many people here who would actively kill a man for saying rude things.
no subject
John cuts off that train of thought before it can run away with him.]
You're right. [If he says it with enough conviction, maybe he can make himself believe it.] He'll just be keeping me a bit busier is all. [That's all. Clearly.] I should contact him. I just wanted to let you know I was alive. Sorry. Got off topic there.
You and the others keep safe, all right?
