John first noticed Sherlock doing it when he had dropped a test tube underneath the couch. After blindly grabbing for it for a minute, he had tossed a carrot underneath the couch and waited until Redchime ran after it to continue the search.
“…Are you using the rabbit as a flashlight?”
“It’s efficient.”
That became his go-to excuse for it. Turning on the lights when he wanted a late night cup of tea was too much work, so he’d just walk around with the rabbit under his arm. He’d position the cage by his chair when he wanted to read and balance the hutch on the toilet when he turned the loo into a darkroom and tried to develop film in the tub.
John declared it too much when he found Sherlock updating his website in the dark, rabbit balanced on his head.
“It’s bad for your eyes. Do I need to send Redchime back to Kirsty?”
“He is a gift from a client; I do not wish to be rude.”
“When has that ever stopped you before?”
Of course, John ended up eating his words during the next week’s storm and subsequent power outage. Sometimes a glowing rabbit was just useful.
