[ Politeness isn't exactly at the forefront of Sherlock's mind, although he's aware that John's watching - he's just more invested in his current food supply.
Sherlock is only moderately aware when John's head falls onto his shoulder, gaze shifting along with the movement automatically. The word 'pale' hazily comes into focus as he takes in the doctor's condition and his teeth clench down further in subtle defiance; he isn't done yet, but subconsciously he knows what that means.
When his voice breaks through the extended silence, Sherlock doesn't immediately move. The words don't quite register, except he knows on a fundamental level that when John speaks, it means stop; it takes him a few seconds to force his fangs to retract and to physically force his face away from his arm before he can have a change of heart.
The movement skews his perceptions for entirely too long and he has to brace against the wall with a breathless laugh.
When he straightens up, he's practically manic. ]
That was- um, that was... yeah. Good. Really good.
[ On the one hand, Sherlock is absolutely strong enough to bear the majority of John's weight... on the other, he is quite clearly blitzed out of his head. ]

You are definitely not human.
