"You don't have to be interested in it, but you still have to do it," John says immediately, hands at his sides rather than in his pockets. A true military man. He doesn't give Sherlock a smile either when the other looks at him. Sternness is something Sherlock respects. He's seen his childhood after all, how his mother handled him. Strong, but allowing the boy his freedom to explore, mentally, if perhaps never quite encouraging him to go outside of the family garden. Understandable. Sherlock, even as a child, had been unnerving.
There hadn't been skinned knees from climbing trees or proving that height has nothing to do with toughness with the neighbourhood lads for Sherlock Holmes. And yet, he'd not been entirely intellectual either.
He's seen the judo training and--
Well, they'd fought together. It'd been exhilerating and John looks forward to another session soon.
"Have something to eat because you'll get to me in my head again tomorrow and I don't want us both to pass out because you neglected yourself. We're a team now, Sherlock. We come as a pair. And if you won't look after your body, I will."
