"Good thing we got the books out of the way first," Sherlock adds with a careful innocence, eyebrows raised, and moves to reset the cups, filling them again.
It's entirely possible that waiting until they've gone through a few more trials before refilling them again would be preferable, but... well, this is more fun. He does slip out of his robe and lay it over his dictionary to protect it, though, and rolls up his shirtsleeves for the next attempt.
This time he adds a bit of a flick to his wrist at the end and the cup rockets violently upwards, water spraying everywhere as it meets the ceiling with a clang. Sherlock wipes a droplet from his cheek and raises an eyebrow at John.
It's entirely possible that they're going to end up just as wet as the classroom, if this keeps up. Sherlock's shirt front is already lightly spattered. That might become interesting to try to explain later.
