Goats are not entirely immune to the Elixir to Induce Euphoria.

I think perhaps it likes me better now.

Hoping for equally positive results from the Shrinking Solution.

Best if one does not help oneself to the yellow contents of the couldron in the Ravenclaw common room. Might be dangerous.

This is the reason we can't have nice things, Sherlock.

[3potionproblem]

This is?

And here I thought it had something to do with my putting holes in things.

[speterman]

No, it is certainly this.

[3potionproblem]

Well, I'll cease pretending to feeling poorly about the knife marks in the mantle, then.

[speterman]

No one believed you felt bad anyway.

[3potionproblem]

I'll stop using you as a template, then.

[speterman]

What?

[3potionproblem]

Not just you, obviously. That would make for a rather flat impersonation.

[speterman]

What?

[3potionproblem]

Sorry, are you having a hard time understanding English?

[speterman]

No, I'm having a hard time understanding git.

[3potionproblem]

I don't see what's so hard to comprehend. Why shouldn't I use you and others as a template for my acting?

[speterman]

And how exactly do I act?

[3potionproblem]

It's innocence wrapped up in defensive prat. You want to be accepted as something more than what you feel you are, making for an interesting mix of confidence and insecurity.

[speterman]

[Someone's just going to be offended because Sherlock is right.]

You're not very good at "deduction", I guess.

[3potionproblem]

As I said: defensive.

[speterman]

I'm not being defensive.

[3potionproblem]

Have it your way. It doesn't make me wrong just because you disagree.

[speterman]

You really expected me to agree with that?

[3potionproblem]

Well, as it's true, yes.

[speterman]

Oh, of course, now it all makes sense.

[3potionproblem]

Sarcasm, Parker.

[speterman]

Yes, you're quite good at identifying it.
