[So, after a hard morning of adventuring, our heroes are having a much needed rest back at the inns with their prizes. Some people may be busily chatting over the different robot parts that were found scattered across the city, but the turtles have bigger fish to fry.

Literally.

The kitchen of the Sword, Shield, and Spear is a flurry of activity and delicious smells in between Rapunzel flitting about and Mikey and Raph following after her to give basic instructions. The construction of pizza is an art after all.]

It's real easy! I mean—I don't get the dough, but the important thing to remember is dough, sauce, toppings. The dough's just to hold everything else together.

The pizza should be ready soon, if you'd like to try some.

Thanks.

... You're Rapunzel, right?

[...Oh you're talking to Sherlock. Immediately tenses, smile dropping.]

Yes.

Hi, my name's Joan.

[... holding her hand out?]

[UNSURE... Hesitates a good deal but reaching for it]

You're... Ms Watson?

That's right, but you can call me Joan if you'd like.

If you'd prefer.

Whatever you're more comfortable with. I'm more of a people person than Sherlock.

[Like that's hard]

Ah, well... Mm, I'll go with Joan. Um...

Don't mind me, I just wanted to introduce myself before things got too crazy. Don't let me interrupt.

No, it's fine, I like it with all these people, I just... You...

... Are friends with Sherlock?

I know he told you... [Running her hands through her hair] Can you keep it a secret?

I will. I promise.

[Straightens up, promises are important!!! But... Still doesnt look entirely convinced.]

Thank you.

If you want to talk about ... anything at any time, just let me know. Even mundane things.

[Surprised, and slightly suspicious]

Oh, I'm alright, you don't need to...

It's an open offer. I'm a counselor of sorts, I help people through hard times. I'm not sure what exactly Sherlock's told you, but if you have any questions for me, I'd be happy to answer them.

He told me you were sobriety partners, I didn't really want to pry... Won't you be busy with him?

He's been good lately, but ...

[glancing at everyone gathering for pizza]

Why don't we talk about it somewhere a little more quiet?

[Hahaha the thought of going somewhere alone with this stranger who knows her secret, PANIC. Glances back at all the people, maybe if they don't go too far... Snatches a frying pan off the counter]

O-Okay. I've got about 20 minutes before the pizza needs to be taken out.

[yyyyeah seeing that change in body language even before she grabs the pan. holds her hands up.]

It's entirely up to you. All I want to do is talk.

We can talk. I just need to be back soon, so let's not go too far.

Not a problem.

[Okay, probably telling some turtles, making sure someone knows she is gone and should be back soon. Paranoia what paranoia.]

Lead the way.
