Joan sleeps through Ted's distress, but Sherlock sees. He watches for a moment as Ted frowns and stirs. He can only imagine what is going through the other man's head. Scenes from the gala? From his kidnapping? Or is his mind reaching further back, to when Ted was a teenager and found his father's body?

Sherlock rises silently, and quietly walks to Ted's side of the bed. He stares for a moment, fingers twitching, uncertain. Then he hesitantly reaches out and settles a gentle hand on Ted's shoulder. The intent is not to wake him necessarily, but to rather give his subconscious mind a measure of reassurance and comfort.
