Sherlock whipped around to stare at Eric. He understood why the other might get defensive, but there was no need to call names! Fictional detective. He wasn't exactly a people person, but he was trying his best and hardest to make it clear that he wasn't just some pompous asshat parading about. He thought mentioning Rose's condition would've been kind before he leaped into the real matter of things!

"Her condition is highly important, however, not my concern at the moment. If she were in immediate danger, it would only be her own fault and I would see to it that I might do everything I could to prevent anything bad from happening. But! For now," So much for not making himself seem like an asshole. He whirled back to Rose.

"Only that he refuses to leave his room for fear of being jumped. You didn't know, did you? That large, moose-like boyfriend of yours and his brother threatened to beat him, it would seem."
