((New post, because it is good for the universe. I would like to applaud all of the Cravat's fine members for not making a home/Holmes pun, nor yet a Holmesosexual pun. Not yet.))

Location: The Cravat
Time: Out of time

Sherlock Holmes and John Watson stumbled out of the portal, Watson still a little wide eyed at the prospect of time travel, Holmes retaining his famous composure. They stood in wait of the others, avoiding each other's eyes.

"I don't fall in love often, Holmes," Gabe replied. "Allow me my stupid wistful sighs and my careless hyperboles. As for living arrangements, Jean and I will share a bed, and if there's space perhaps we could have our own room? And how you and Watson want to arrange yourselves is entirely up to you two. One bed, two." He shrugged. "Whatever makes you happy."

"Yes, you and Mr. Bonnaire are definitely having some sort of seperate sleeping arrangement," Holmes said fervently. "I may have admitted to being an immoral, libertine of an invert, Rosenburg, but I have a ways to go yet. There are only two rooms up there in any case, and so I suppose. . .well, this will be fascinating." He shook his head. "I would go over and speak to them, but. . ." Holmes grinned. "Watson looks happy, and I doubt my presence would assist that mood."

"They do look happy, don't they?" Gabe said, watching Jeannot carefully, not wanting to miss even the smallest moment.

"Oh, and," Gabe began, turning his head to look at Holmes again. "Out of the two of us, I'd out-Libertine you any day of the week. I've done things that would make your Victorian brain explode, so don't call yourself an immoral and libertine invert. I'll just take the libertine bit as a challenge and then I may have to give you a crash-course in late twentieth century morality, not to mention modern terminology." He shook his head. "'Invert,'" he muttered. "Christ."

"Our centuries have different standards," Holmes replied, stung. "While I do have no doubt that you would be able to, as you so charmingly put it, make my brain explode. And what, may I ask, is wrong with the term, 'invert?'"

"It seems rather negative," Gabe said, simply. "Almost derogatory. All I know is by 1989, nobody's using it."

"Oh, it's not," Holmes laughed bitterly. "In fact, it's remarkably polite. In comparison, anyway. What do they say in 1989?"

"Either 'gay' or 'homosexual,' depending," Gabe replied. "Of course, there's 'queer,' which is broader, as it covers bisexuals as well, but a bit offensive to some. Oh, and there are lesbians. Them too." He shrugged. "It's all about context. Some words straight people aren't allowed to use, some words mean one thing in one sentence and something else entirely in another. It's all kind of a linguistic mess."

"Bisexual? Lesbians? Yes, I think I realize what those mean." Holmes shrugged. "You seem to be doing better linguistically than we are, in any case. But - gay? Why gay?"

"I believe it has to do with the connotation of uninhibition and, well, deviancy from the heterosexual norm, nonmonogamous sexual relations, sex without marriage, etc.," Gabe said, enjoying the chance to discuss words with someone. "I can't say I've studied it intensely, though. I'm mostly operating on guess-work and half-recollected research from when I was in college." He shook his head, dismissing thoughts of his schooling. "What's considered appropriate terminology in your time, though?" He paused and then correct himself. "Well, not appropriate, exactly, but un-obscene."

"Well," Holmes laughed, "nothing, really. The entire subject is obscene."

Gabe shook his head. "I'd hate being Victorian," he said, and then laughed. "It seems most Victorians hate being Victorian, as well."

"I don't," Holmes said lightly, then laughed as well. "Which doesn't make an enormous amount of sense. Regardless, I fear I am a chronic patriot. And in any case, Her Majesty has upon occasion availed herself of some of my services. So it would be disparaging a client. But you," he said, with a sharp, amused glance at Gabe, "you would be a terrible Victorian."

"Oh, terrible. Possibly the worst ever," Gabe agreed. "But wouldn't it be fun to see me try?" He grinned.

"Like nails on a chalkboard, actually, Rosenburg," Holmes replied, all deadpan. "Actually, though," he amended, smiling, "it would be intensely entertaining. I'm almost tempted to bring you to London and see you try. But that," he continued, face becoming somber, "would defeat our purpose here."

"It would probably also get us both killed," Gabe conceded, sadly. "And speaking of Our Purpose, how long are we going to stay here? Not that I don't enjoy your company," here he was only half sarcastic, "but mostly because it seems rather cramped and slightly lonesome, and I'd be lying if I said that I don't expect myself to go stir-crazy very fast."
