Sherlock's breath caught when John patted his thigh, his whole body went tense- and not because he didn't want the touch. Sure, he hadn't expected it, but that wasn't it at all.
His eyes went wide, and he stared at John, really looked at him. There was a flash of.. something in his mind, and then it was gone again. He shook his head. He really needed to sleep, he thought.
"Yes. I suppose so." Sherlock answered, quietly. He poked at his food for a few more minutes, then put it on the table beside him. His stomach was lurching and his mind was racing a million miles a minute, he didn't have the stomach to eat right now.
He had a mystery and it was locked inside his own mind.
Even brave, loyal John couldn't help him with this one.
