You're insane.

[grandhighwizard]

DEFINE INSANITY.

[shellfishlovver]

No. I am not one of your students.

[grandhighwizard]

so you're going to insult me
AND NOT TELL ME HOW YOU MEAN IT?
how rude.

[shellfishlovver]

I assumed you were the sort that enjoyed surprises.

[grandhighwizard]

are you going to tell me later, then?
LOVELY.
do it in the great hall, that should be a laugh.

[shellfishlovver]

Don't tell me what to do.

[grandhighwizard]

you really are the most delightfully prickly man,
YOU KNOW.
i'm going to enjoy this.

[shellfishlovver]

You're goin to enjoy what exactly?

[grandhighwizard]

your assumption was correct.
I ENJOY SURPRISES.

[shellfishlovver]

I don't. I also don't enjoy being trifled with.

[grandhighwizard]

WHO'S TRIFLING?
you're worth rather more than that, donoghue.

[shellfishlovver]

Do you make a habit of making no sense?

[grandhighwizard]

if it were habitual
IT WOULD BE CONSISTENT,
so no.

[shellfishlovver]

Then do you mind elaborating on your previous comment?

[grandhighwizard]

maybe in private.
BUSY?

[wwistful]

If only to clarify some things that are difficult to express through words, I suppose.
Where did you have in mind?

[grandhighwizard]

you're welcome to come to my chambers.

[wwistful]

Is that so? So you were serious when you said private..
Whereabouts are they?

[grandhighwizard]

NEAR THE OWLERY.
northern corridor, at the far end.

[Is he really coming? Oh, wonderful!]

[Making this Action because it's my post and I do what I want]

[wwistful]

[Well now he's going to snap his journal shut and stride right down there with his nose in the air.

Far be it from him to let some mentally unstable potions teacher tell him what to do!!

Besides. He's curious.]

[Daaaaaamn, you one bold mofo!]

[grandhighwizard]

[There's a lot to be curious about! And as Murdoc walks down the hall, he'll see a door open at the far end, and a really tall man in black and purple robes glance out, smiling when he spots the other professor.]

Ah, I wasn't sure you would actually come.

[I'm all about the sass and whatnot]

[wwistful]

[Murdoc isn't tense. That's why he doesn't nearly jump a foot in the air as the door opens. Only he is and he did. He straightens and nods sharply at the other man, looking far from impressed.]

I wouldn't accept an invitation without every intention of arrivin'. Though, this is hardly what I'd consider a leisure visit.

[grandhighwizard]

All business, hm? [The older man is clearly amused, and opens his door wider.] Come in, then, Donoghue, come in, and we'll discuss your ... curiosity.

[wwistful]

I fail to see what else it would be, considerin' that we're colleagues.

[He narrows his eyes at the open door before slinking in, eyes immediately flicking about the room. He's both intrigued and suspicious.]
