005- My family is mad.

[gotyourlocket]

Cheza. Sohma.

We've talked about this.

The reason why the sign on the door of my room says to keep out without my express permission is because I'd like the things that are inside to remain there.

Even the ones that you happen to believe are sentient.

...

So, what have you done with it this time?

If it is sentient, I rather doubt it belongs solely in your room any longer.

[gotyourlocket]

It isn't. Cheza's just mad, you know that.

[nobodys_library]

May I ask what the item in question was?

[gotyourlocket]

Uh. Bits of plant. Dried plant, not the live sort.

[nobodys_library]

What sort of plant.

[gotyourlocket]

Uhh...a water dwelling plant.

Mum, you know how we crazy wizard kids love...plants.

[nobodys_library]

That's not an acceptable answer.

[gotyourlocket]

A...magical water dwelling plant?

[nobodys_library]

I figured as much and you are still avoiding the question I asked of you.

[gotyourlocket]

Mum, it's...it's often used in potions.

[nobodys_library]

Even common potion ingredients can have additional uses; most natural compounds do.

[gotyourlocket]

I'll remember that, thanks.

[nobodys_library]

That was not intended as encouragement.

[gotyourlocket]

It could be construed as a good sort of encouragement.

You could be hoping that I find new and innovative ways to prepare useful potions.

[nobodys_library]

I could be, yes. Or I could simply be hoping that your experiments - if that is where you intend to head - don't end up backfiring.

Totally got away with that. Haha.

[gotyourlocket]

Oh, no. I'm not half bad at potions.
