Well, I was a wizard, so I guess that counts me as a freak in that situation, but they were just plain weird. Gnomes and cats. They had about 30 cats..." said Nate, smiling and shaking his head.
"Being a wizard isn't freaky," reminded Jez. "Not here, anyway. But your neighbours ... I can't vouch for their sanity." She giggled. "Firestarter suits you! But those things really hurt ..." She pulled down her socks to reveal red welts from the firecrackers Nate had thrown in the courtyard. "Really big explosions, though," she grinned.
