One entirely innocuous afternoon, Sherlock places a call through Jarvis to Cal's cellphone.

Cal thinks for a second that Sherlock is still talking about cellphones, then he catches up. The sound of a lighter being used is very distinctive.

"Yeah, aren't you supposed to have a pipe? I have never seen you with a pipe."

"You should get a pipe," Cal says. "I have some I'm not using anymore."

One of them is even the right shape.

"I should really get rid of them."

The remainder of his stash has long since gone missing, but the pipes are still there. They're painfully tempting, sometimes; it's not like it would be hard to get a fresh supply.

Cal takes a deep drag from his cigarette.

Cal smiles a little as he exhales.

"Thanks."
