~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sherlock always calculates everything of his life and he knows everything related to his work.
He knows his city, he knows the criminals and he knows his own body.

Listening to the steps right behind himself, Sherlock has to add to his mental list, that he also knows John.
He knows John's mindset, he knows John's instincts and he knows John's body.

Sherlock adjusts his own longer steps if John falls behind, he also shouts encourages if John's energy starts to flag.
And when they reach dangerous or unsteady grounds, Sherlock reaches back to grasp John's hand firmly.

He makes sure that every step they take is secure and precise, nevertheless he also prepares himself to react as fast as possible if something goes wrong.

Sherlock failed once, but he never will again.
Now he calculates everything as perfectly as he can - for both of them.

So Sherlock grins and laughs delighted when - following his lead - John jumps.
