The center of Steve's brows pinch oddly, nearly matching a smug tug at the edge of his mouth. Eyebrows raising at the center, because, seriously, there's no way Danny is a book-beater.
He's seen that 'house.' It's not like there were piles of books hiding anywhere.
Not that Steve doesn have a problem with books. Even ones he hasn't read or considered, with good reason, especially since being sent away from Hawaii. Not that he'd ever been interested in Doyle much growing up, but he'd been even less interested in most of the things his father had an interest in pretty shortly thereafter. And most things Sherlock Holmes related, aside from the odd one-off sideways joke, landed squarely in that box.
Which Danny just happened to trod on, unrelated, like his leg was in front of the mustang to roll over. The oddest memories coming from nowhere. Dusty and unused, as impotent today as they were unimportant the two decades of time spent not looking at them. But it was worth it to see Danny take it a little personally. From his comment on four million words, to his focus on just one of them, and not a single other.
