grandparent > for the moment, however, i'm simply trying not to use any magic
grandparent > it's only a temporary solution, but it's helping knowing that i won't be putting anyone at risk

doggy style > nah u don't have to cover for me I'm sure I won't be missed anyway lmfao

doggy style > maybe u could ask esmos for more of those mints to suppress ur powers
doggy style > I'm sure he wouldn't mind

grandparent > Sirius, please don't say things like that
grandparent > i know you may have those thoughts, but it's best not to express them so casually and thereby legitimise them
grandparent >
grandparent > i really don't want to be treating those mints as if they're medication
grandparent > which i'd have to do if they were to stop me from ever using my powers
grandparent > they're more of a treat
grandparent > both in taste and in use
grandparent > so i don't think i'll bother Esmos for more just yet

doggy style > not doing that

grandparent > well, if you're doing the least harmful thing
grandparent > then you're at least doing what feels healthIER
