Unnecessary and pointless.
[Though he appreciates the offer, even if he won't say so.]
[After a quick scan, he hands it back over to Sherlock. Logically speaking, he completely agrees, and he's mildly incensed at John for being stupid enough to get into that situation in the first place, resulting in this. Now Sherlock's upset and this is the last thing Mycroft wants in this environment.
But that won't help matters if he vocalizes it.]
The chances are very good for his return. I'm sure he'll...turn up in no time.
[He can tell that Mycroft is trying to be comforting in his own way, and he does appreciate it. Not that he's going to say so, their relationship is built on a mutual understanding that they must outwardly detest one another.]
Obviously, which is why we'll be leaving for the revival points immediately.
[He could ask the Admin, others have, but he'd prefer to do it under his own steam.]
[The fact that he can indeed, make half hearted jabs relieves Mycroft of some of his worry. There's a ghost of a smile on his face before it disappears.]

[In other, kinder words: I shall provide any support I can, brother mine, even if you stubbornly and pointlessly add to the effort.]

[It's a half hearted jab at best, especially when Mycroft is underweight by now like everyone who has spent months in Norfinbury.]

Not my first choice of exercise regimen, though.

[He shoulders his bag and heads for the door, trusting in Mycroft to follow.]

[The answer was obviously yes, but he couldn't let this stand. There's a mild grumbling sound as Mycroft follows him to the door.]
