[ john did make a valiant attempt to follow sherlock but got to the end of the street before retreating back to the flat. it's pointless to try and pursue someone who can disappear at the drop of a floppy eared hat. plus his loakes aren't suited for the weather and he almost ended up on his arse a few times before he slinked back inside.
left behind yet again.
but he wasn't idle while sherlock was gone: he rooted through mrs. hudson's cupboards and found some candles to light; the mess sherlock left in the kitchen has been tidied up; he even found a few of missing cluedo pieces and put the board games back under the couch for another day. he was attempting to stifle a huge yawn when sherlock's unceremonious return to baker street jolts him back to alertness.]
Mmm? Oh.
[ he gets out of his chair and descends down the first couple of stairs, stopping only to stare at the sight of sherlock trying to wade through the snowdrift at the door. ]
