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

Earth

As Watson slips on the uneven ground, Holmes reaches for his arm without hesitation and then walks on without a word, never letting go.

Air

Holmes hides a smile behind his pipe as Watson, after entering the room, coughs and hurries to the window and his muttered swears join his smoke in the air.

Fire

The only sound in the room is the crackling of the fire as Holmes and Watson sit silently side by side in their chairs, enjoying the presence of the other and a warm cup of tea.

Water

Holmes can hear the uneven steps in the bedroom above and takes up his violin, hoping that his music can soothe the pain the cold rain has caused.

Four snapshots into their lives. An excellent way to use all four elements. Well done!
