Advent Drabble 4 - Poisonous Plants and Stained Glass

Requested by anonymous.

John thought there were some things that Oliver should see that were not about murder. Oliver knew everything about every single interesting murder scene in Britain, but John thought maybe he should see some cathedrals, too.

“Cathedrals are boring,” Sherlock complained.

“Look at the stained glass.” John pointed for Oliver’s benefit. “Stained glass is beautiful artistry. These windows date back to medieval times.”

“Boring!” Sherlock called back to them, as he walked along the pews. Then he paused saying, “Hmm. Except this one’s full of poisonous plants. Do you think the artist killed someone?”

Oliver ran over delightedly to see.

I am very fond of stained glass myself, even without poisonous plants… ;D

*giggles* Typical Sherlock. And Olivier, of course. And John, whose long-suffering look I imagine very well.

P.S.
SHERLOCK: John, I know that our visit of the cathedral yesterday wasn't exactly what you expected it to be.
JOHN: Believe it or not but it was exactly what I expected it to be.
SHERLOCK: Anyway, in order to make amend I bought a book for Olivier. A book about cathedrals.
JOHN: Did you really.
SHERLOCK: Yes. Look.
title or description
JOHN: I fucking knew it.

Don't usually get "killing someone" and "delightedly" in the same breath, but that's Oliver for you!!

Of course possible medieval murder would make Oliver giddy!
