Sherlock is glad Ted isn't upset anymore, if just because it will make things more comfortable for Watson if they're getting along. Of course, Sherlock himself is happier, but he pointedly doesn't focus on that.

"Watson?" he says, looking to his partner. There have been a number of times when Watson had friends at the brownstone and Sherlock had made himself scarce, not being the type to enjoy the banal social rituals that most people engage in. If she insists on his presence, however, he'll stay.

"It's up to you," she answers. "You might enjoy meeting Keeley and Roy."
