I'm in the dungeons. I need black coffee (two sugars) and a dead rat. Or a live rat, actually, though not one you're sentimental towards. Be quick

[sawa_dame]

Er, I can get you coffee but I don't know about a rat...

[higherfunctions]

I'll accept that. You're absolutely sure about the rat?

[sawa_dame]

Yes, I'm sure... I don't think I could catch one even if I saw one.

[higherfunctions]

Stunning them isn't too hard if you're quick enough.

[sawa_dame]

Well, I could try but I might end up...stunning myself.

[higherfunctions]

Stunning yourself.

[sawa_dame]

Y-yes...

[higherfunctions]

You could, perhaps, try aiming at something which is not you. I find it helps considerably.

[sawa_dame]

I-I do! But sometimes I miss and the spell rebounds...

[higherfunctions]

That's almost impressively inept.

Coffee?

[Journal then action]

[sawa_dame]

Oh, right, I'll go get it.

[The writing from him stops there which presumably means Tsuna has run off to fetch that coffee. Some time later Sherlock may see a nervous, spiky-haired brunette peering into the dungeon Sherlock is in while carefully holding a cup of steaming beverage - black coffee with two sugars as the other requested.]

[higherfunctions]

Come in! [Sherlock doesn't bother looking up even once from his gently steaming cauldron, into which he's crumbling some kind of yellow powder with a frown in his face.]

[action]

[sawa_dame]

[He approaches with some apprehension - he's wary of cauldrons because of the unexpected results they occasionally yield - and proffers the cup when he's close enough to Sherlock.]

I have your coffee...

[action]

[higherfunctions]

I can see that. Put it next to the crushed hen's teeth, won't you? Or anywhere there's room. And pass me that vial that's just at your elbow, the green one...

[action]

[sawa_dame]

[Tsuna set the cup within reach on a nearby surface and looked around for the vial. Selecting what he hoped was the right green one, he held it out.]

This one?
