[how rude]

Don't be a spoilsport. [Of course, Theseus has only experienced one of these festivals so far, so his tune might change in the future, not to mention that he wasn't the one shoved into an embarrassing outfit... but he thinks these festivals are charming in their own way, even if they are also exhausting. Just a way to bring morale up, for people to celebrate together.]

Besides, are you not happy for the dozens of couples celebrating their love? How depressing, not a single romantic bone in my brother's body...

[Theseus only stops his melodramatic monologue when Newt starts speaking again, but this time his interest is piqued when his brother mentions love potions.]

Love potions? [This place definitely has loose laws when it comes to these sort of things. Not that they're banned back home, but Theseus can't imagine having them out during a large event. It's... certainly irresponsible, in his opinion.

Even if it might provide Theseus with an incredible story about Newt.]

There's a story behind this, isn't there? [Theseus is hear to listen, in fact, he's not going to let Newt escape from this one.]
