[A little more prepared than their first meeting, John is much less jumpy about the vampire emerging from the shadows; and holds his ground. He smirks, catching on to the insinuation.]
Well you know Sherlock, sometimes a couple feet is too much to ask. Fortunately, we've got him right here.
[He taps the dreamberry emphatically, with a reassuring nod. Sherlock's injuries are not so extreme as to stop him from complaining, if he truly needs anything, John knows he'll be able to reach him. The doctor follows behind Subaru, allowing him to lead.]
Good to know, despite coming from different worlds, people still know how to make a cuppa. I wonder what else is considered standard..
This world draws things from all other worlds. Anything you want from your world is likely to be here. [He heads instead and goes straight towards a table in the corner. He begins to remove his cape as he walks, not wanting it to billow and cause issues for the following man. He folds it skillfully as he removes it, setting into an empty chair once they reach the table.
[John perks a bit at that, taking his seat with the adjacent chair. Considering all he has seen, when it came to the objects and buildings, it started to make sense. Their shapes and design, it all spoke of a mash up of different cultures.]
Have you encountered anything you weren't familiar with?
[Subaru shakes his head as he settles into his chair.]
I have not..but then I have not looked for things I am not familiar with. That means they could be here. But I also have traveled many worlds so there are few things that surprise me.
I wouldn't say I came intentionally. World travelers cannot control their destinations. We simply accept wherever we end up. Usually we have a choice as to when we can leave..however this world took that ability away.
That must be hard for you; being stuck in one place when you know you might be needed in another.
[Except it had been the opposite for John; it wasn't that he had been unable to leave Afghanistan, it was that he'd be forced to. Still, he can sympathize.]
I felt that way before, myself, but then I discovered Bakerstreet. Heh, I guess in a way you did too.
Power doesn't necessarily have to mean magic. Memories can be powerful. Feelings can be as well. if you are drawn to that place then it could just be the feeling of home that makes it strong.
[Yes, Bakerstreet is home for all of them it seems; although John hadn't quite meant to let that slip out. He covers up the mild embarrassment by placing his order.]
Do you mind if I ask, how did you and Sherlock first meet
[Subaru tilts his head slightly as he tries to think of that answer.]
Perhaps it came before this..but my most vivid of first memories is when I came to his home as it was falling apart. He wasn't doing well so I promised to help him and restore his home.

[Yes John, that is what he just said.]
Is that how you came to be here? You came intentionally and just got stuck?

[Subaru nods and looks down at the menu.]
Perhaps that place has a power to heal..that we are unaware of but drawn to.
[Action]
[He hums, bemused.]
People keep saying things like that here, but it's just not-- we don't have things like that where I'm from; magic or the like...
[A small nod, thinking it over]
Still, I suppose that could be true. Might explain why they bothered to bring it here.

When the city first collapsed... So Bakerstreet wasn't always here?
