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

"I guess we'd better both hope we're as good as we think we are, then," Peter rejoins.

Personally, he's fairly confident that he's better than he thinks he is, regardless of any paradox that might cause.

"If you're as good as he thinks you are, you shouldn't have any trouble."

It's Peter's turn to be amused.

"Glad to hear it."

"And in my experience Sherlock's judgment can be relied on absolutely."

"He hasn't let me down yet."

Peter frowns slightly at the document he's reading, then sets it aside and reaches for another.

Dryly: "Shall I leave you to your paperwork?"

Peter doesn't answer for a moment, comparing one report against the other. Is he going to have to fire someone again?

"Yes, it looks like I have something else to attend to," he says eventually.

"Goodbye, Mr Beardsley."

Peter just hangs up.

. . . to be strictly fair, even if Jarvis were a human being, the odds that Peter would have been more polite in ending the call are still only fifty-fifty at best.
