I'll take that as you'll never come by or eat any sweets I make. I get that. Shame, you and Sherlock make for good customers.
[Knowing how paranoid John is thanks to Norfinbury, it's not that big a jump to make those conclusions. Still, it hurts Phil's pride to have someone be that suspicious about his food.]
How does what he's eating on his own affect me? I'm just not going to eat anything he brings home from your place. Unless you're telling me it's possible for your magic to jump from one food item to the next without you there.
[Do you really want to up the paranoia ante, Phil?]
I trust you. What I don't trust is your control over your magic. Or other people who might think it's funny to pull a prank like that.
[That response actually mellows Phone Guy enough to concede that maybe HE was being paranoid. Years of being looked down as a murder suspect stuck around.]
It can't do that. It can't jump from item to item. The magic, once it finds a medium, stays locked in that medium unless the medium is used as an ingredient. Hence why I prefer doing all the mixing first before enchanting.
Thanks for being honest. I trust you too, I don't trust your paranoia but I understand where it comes from.
PS: don't eat anything that comes in a red box, has a red ribbon, or red wrapping. That's enchanted food.
[That post script is nice and settles John's hackles a little more.]
Thank you. I'll keep an eye out on any food that just appears in the house mysteriously. God knows Sherlock's not going to bake anything.
[Which should theoretically make it easier to avoid being drugged by his friend, but... it doesn't.]
P.S. If you haven't spoken to Mary, the woman who turned up in the Meadous recently, you might like to. She's a baker, as well. I'm sure she could use more friends, too.

For the record: I'd rather you be honest and say you don't trust me.

I'll be sure to stop by for a bit. All this magic kerfuffle aside, she's welcome to come in.
If she's a friend of yours, I can trust her.

Ta! Much appreciated. And good luck keeping the magic under control.
