To my esteemed colleague,
Firstly, I have already apologized about the pickles. Several times. I am aware that they are a sore point, but they are in the past. There is nothing I, in the present, can do about the pickle incident anymore.
Second, you must understand that the creative process is a complex and fickle thing. Creativity requires constant fuel which, in my case, comes in the form of tea. I must have a pot steeping before I've finished my current pot, or the fountain of inspiration will run dry.
Third, that was absolutely my pen, and I have no idea where you misplaced yours.
