It had been a lovely dream. It had been a lovely, exceptionally vivid dream, and perhaps it was rather odd in one or two ways, but then, there wasn't always any accounting for the sorts of things you dreamed. He'd scribbled down a few things about it when he awoke, in case the recollection faded, and gone off to start his day with the peace of mind that comes from having woken so pleasantly.
Of course he wasn't going to discuss it with Cerrit. What sort of idiot goes to someone he's just beginning to see, where no declarations have been made, and informs him that "oh, I dreamt we were married, and also you changed species dramatically in a way you might not find amusing and I'm honestly a little disappointed in myself about"? Not John Watson, that's for certain.
But there are rumours, and there is talk, and it's not very far into the day before it's becoming clear that this was not just a dream, oh no oh god oh no, and it is extremely essential that he is able to speak to Cerrit as soon as possible.
For these reasons, then, when Watson sees him in the street, he shouts his name and comes jogging up to take him by the elbow.
"I really think we might need to talk about... one or two things," he says, in a low voice.
