They mean what ever someone wants them to mean. You might see the grim. I might see a three legged table. Divination is for actual seers.

Look lets be honest. I have no idea what it's like, for you. Never will. Doesn't mean that I plan on treating you like crystal just because you're evil twin here outed you to me.

[3potionproblem]

[Sherlock nodded.]

You treat crystal like a quaffle, anyway.

Actually, though, when you get down to the leaves at the bottom of your cup, the answer is universally the same. I means you're done with your tea.

[He smirks.]

Stupid 'seers' really should invest in a better tea strainer while on the subject. I mean, really. This may be Scotland but that's no excuse for a sloppy cup of tea.

[arrogantalloy]

All the more reason why I shouldn't be

[Tony chuckles at his comments.]

It's moments like this I can't get over how 'British' you are. Sloppy cup of tea. No, it's great.

[3potionproblem]

So sorry we don't all sit around drinking fizzy pop all day. Surely you've had a proper tea at some point in your life.

[He doesn't notice that the shadow is more or less just hanging back, not bothered with bothering them. Making a point, really. Less said to point out what it is, the better.]

[arrogantalloy]

Coffee. I spend most of my time worshipping java. But hey, Coke is always enjoyable.

I was at Lalonde's tea party. I've had tea.

[3potionproblem]

[Sherlock's brow raises quite high at the mention of coke but.. oh.. Oh, soda pop. Well...]

Well, at least you have some experience in real culture.

[arrogantalloy]

[He snerks]

It happens occasionally.

So, what's the plan with your buddy?

[3potionproblem]

[Sherlock shrugs.]

Very few other people can see or hear him. That must is a blessing. There's no telling how many people he could potentially try and aggravate things with, though. I'll find Professor Donoghue and see if he knows anything.

[arrogantalloy]

Well if anyone would know it'd be him or Coulson.

Want company? Or do you think you can ignore him on your own?

[3potionproblem]

It's better on my own, honestly. Then it only has an audience of one.

[And despite Tony being awesome, he really didn't need to test just how much more the phantom could share.]

[arrogantalloy]

You sure?

[He raises an eyebrow, still not sure that he should actually be left alone.]

If you're worried about keeping me from anything I was just planing on lying on Bruce and read, till he kicked me out of his bed.

[3potionproblem]

I think your attempts at romance are a far better use of your time than following me in my inquiries.

[arrogantalloy]

Attempts at romance? Wait. What?

[Tony shifted slightly, feeling almost defensive, not wanting to think about why he's feeling that way.]

[3potionproblem]

Oh, please, don't insult my intelligence. I'm naive; I'm not stupid.

[arrogantalloy]

Believe me, if I'm going to insult you in someway, I'm not going to target intelligence.

I'm not doing anything like that to Bruce.

[3potionproblem]

No, you're planning to engage in needless physical contact just for the sake of being a nuisance.

[arrogantalloy]

Bruce and I have been friends since my first year. It's just what we do.

[3potionproblem]

I've known you nearly as long. Length of time is not a deciding factor.

[arrogantalloy]

Yeah and I do things to you that I don't to to anyone else either. Doesn't mean I'm trying to get romantic with you.

[3potionproblem]

I would expect not. Much better to curl up with flesh than with stone. Much more yielding.

But what would I know? I'm just Hogwarts most insufferable stalker.

[arrogantalloy]

If I poke you in the cheek right now, I think I'll find you're flesh too. Don't flatter yourself, you're not that cold and unfeeling.

Insufferable yes, stalker not so much, most stalkers don't ask for people to stalk. Besides, you're not very good at it if you were.

[3potionproblem]

Metaphorically speaking, Tony. I'm more flesh and bone than flesh and blood either way.

Though, how come when I say I'm not a stalker, you jump right on board the bandwagon and call me one but when I use the term, you find the need to correct me? Is this 'taking the piss'?

[arrogantalloy]

I remember saying there were better ways to get a girl friend. But yeah, mostly the first time was a joke.

[3potionproblem]

Believe me, the pursuit of companionship is never my concern.

[arrogantalloy]

How about the pursuit of company?
