Yes, professor sir. This class is going to be a fun one! Ethan nodded enthusiastically and bounced a tad. Were they going to de-gnome today? Yes? YES?
Bit of course, introductions first. Professor Thompson. Noted.
Aaaand what does he know about garden gnomes? Ethan looked around as answers were given from every direction. His attention though, landed on Cutty. Hello, twin. Ethan nodded as Cutty mentioned the creature's appearance. They're not just ugly from the outside.
Hand up.
"They're not just ugly sir." he said as he turned to Cutty and gave him an approving nod. "They laugh too when you don't properly de-gnome them." MEAN. CREATURE.
But then again, he doesn't have to endure humiliation from a gnome, because they were going to be taught how to properly de-gnome a garden. Yes?
Wot? O_O
What did gnome laughter sound like? Cutty was willing to bet his last galleon that it was creepy as hell. If they laughed, did that also meant that they cried?
Text Cut: Westside! Stop givin' him ideas!

Yeah. Yeah, they cried.
A jarvey? Cutty had been meaning to get a pet, or some kind of animal companion for the sake of magic. And Odessa just made jarvey's sound a heckuvalot more interesting than he'd previously imagined they'd be. He couldn't care for a pet. Not properly anyway, but he was starting to think that if all there was to it was feeding it and what and how it ate were an entertainment value to him, why not a jarvey?
This whole thing reminded him of how he never did find the Arabic word for
'bait dog'.
