"I don't know!" Bella throws up her hands, laughing. "I only found out you liked me five minutes ago. I only found out Tony liked me beyond general flirtatiousness a few more minutes ago than that."
Write write write.
Because the "next" question may not have been fully answered yet, but it appears to involve talking about getting married, so Bella thinks she can risk it!
And Bella writes in her notebook. This page is shaping up to look like a two-column chart with things like "nnnng" and "design!" in one column and "2 days!!!" and "queen M?!" in the other.
And Sherlock's armour peels itself off of her and folds up tightly into a neat little bundle.
She practically dives into her notebook when the armor is all wrapped up in itself and her specs are back in her hat. She circles two things in the column on the left and writes under them "royal magic" and "sword" and then in the margin "boy am I ever grabby; to-fix?" and then in the column on the right "two of them!" and then in the column on the left "two of themmmmm".
"Uh, pros and cons, basically," says Bella, squirming a little. "It's a complicated subject, I have complicated opinions, I'm trying to break them up into little bits so I can weigh them and see if any of the cons can be patched and whether the pros add up to enough."
"The fact that there's two of you is in both columns," she volunteers after a moment. "I've never seriously considered a - plural arrangement before."
"On the one hand, I really don't know how it'd work. Logistically. It's hard to be unreservedly pleased about something I can't picture. I mean, I have a naive picture but I am completely making it up. On the other hand, sparks and fumes there's two of you."
"Presumably it would work much the same as being married to either of us," says Sherlock, "in turns."
"That's about the naive picture I have," agrees Bella. "I dunno. Maybe it really isn't that complicated."
"If you were expecting us to have trouble sharing," she offers, "you may stop expecting that."
"Duly noted," murmurs Bella, smiling. "...Will I also be learning a valuable lesson about sharing here? I don't personally know anyone who's plurally arranged but it seems likely that some of the setups are more symmetrical than that."
"With specific people, or just random individuals Tony feels like kissing, or what?" Bella asks, noting this in the left column with a question mark in the column.
