I'm no longer under the trace. Still trying to decide what to do with this new found freedom.

Suggestions welcome.

Yes, because it's tons of fun to have a severed limb flung off to who knows where.

It'll be like a treasure hunt.

[arrogantalloy]

You two have the strangest way of being cute together. You know that right?

[3houseswatson]

It's not cute!

I'm trying to prove a point!

[arrogantalloy]

A point about his legs.

[3houseswatson]

A point about his legs potentially getting cut off by magic.

[arrogantalloy]

His neck could get splinched too. Or an arm, you're the leg man, not me here.

The magic isn't important, just the destination.

And really, this is Sherlock. Not me, he tends to exhaust theories before putting into practise.

Mostly.

[3houseswatson]

I am NOT a leg ma-

... okay, let me revise that. I'm not a men's legs man.

I picked legs at random; I could've just as easily picked an arm or neck, like you said. I just wanted to prove a point that he might lose something he's attached to if he's too cavalier about Apparating.

[arrogantalloy]

I so knew you were a legs man.

Also, picking a part of him wouldn't be the way to make him take something seriously. You have to use something he actually cares about.

[3houseswatson]

... God, you're right, I should've gone for his pride.

[arrogantalloy]

You really think that would ever leave him?

I'd say something more tangible than intangible. But then he has no rik of losing that through apperating.

[3houseswatson]

Something tangible?

[filter]

God, please don't give him the idea to Apparate with a chemistry set because he will do it.

[3potionproblem]

Tony, you do not describe males as cute outside the animal kingdom.

[arrogantalloy]

Okay, ignoring that humans are animals. I was saying what you were both doing was cute. I don't know if I'd describe either of you as cute.

Well, definitely not you.

[3potionproblem]

Well, thank you for that.

[arrogantalloy]

Any time.

[Filter]

You know this is a weird way to ask him out, right?

I mean sure, you have him thinking about you're legs, but don't you want him thinking higher?

[Filter]

[3potionproblem]

I am doing no such thing.

[Filter]

[arrogantalloy]

You sure?

Because for you. Seems like it to me.

[Filter]

[3potionproblem]

In what way would it ever make sense for me to ask out "Three Houses" Watson?

[Filter]

[arrogantalloy]

Wait, is this self doubt creeping in?

He groped you.

[Filter]

[3potionproblem]

To piss off a couple of paintings; not because he has any interest in me.

And that's not self doubt. That's fact.

[3potionproblem]

And treasure hunts are fun. John, you're proving my point for me.

I promise I will excersize caution.

[3houseswatson]

I was being sarcastic. You might find treasure hunts fun... hell, you might find treasure hunts where the treasure in question is a body part fun... but when it's your body part?

Yeah, you'd better be careful.

[3potionproblem]

I promised.

[3houseswatson]

Good.

[About thirty seconds passes before a bit more text comes through.]

In that case, if something bad happens and you really were trying your best to be careful, I promise to do whatever I can to help.

[3potionproblem]

I never doubted you would.
