I hope nobody minds that I step in, since [livejournal.com profile] elmey seems to be hindered by the higher powers.
So, here is your place to share today's achievements, thoughts, concerns and victories.

May the magic be with us all!

Back to nothing new again. Argh! So, I edited. A further excerpt from Mycroft's conversation at the facility.

***

Mycroft folded his hands on top of the folder. “You hadn’t intended to breed the animals?”

“The litter came as a surprise,” Dr Agarwal explained. “Randolph had adopted two kittens shortly before arriving here under the impression that the animals had been neutered at the rescue centre where he acquired them.”

“When it became clear that the young female was pregnant, it offered an exciting opportunity to observe if any of the parents’ learned behaviours might be passed on to a new generation,” Skye added immediately.

“Then one of the resultant litter going missing was surely a cause for concern?” Mycroft remarked.

“We thought he might have got out of Randolph’s quarters and hid,” Agarwal said. “Perhaps died.”

“So you would eventually nose him out beneath the stairs,” Mycroft said.

A very dry and unemotional discussion (on the surface at least). Then again I've always tried to remain calm in the face of cats deciding to hide themselves in strange parts of my houses.

I've never felt I found all the hiding spots, although I've certainly tried.

I had a debate with myself about that line, but it happened to me with a mouse one time.

Editing counts, too! This is a fascinating excerpt; so Red & Gray are supercats!! That would explain why they like the super-Holmes duo so much :)
