Nodding again at Vannie and Raiden to come up to the board, Truebridge asked the next question "What relationship did Beatrix Bloxam have with the tale of the Warlock's hairy heart?"
"But it's so... weird..." Jake couldn't help himself from commenting. The continuity of it all was messed up and it bothered him.
"I just... don't get that..." he shrugged one shoulder and smiled slightly at Professor Truebridge before glancing nervously at the cat. It was a weird little thing.
Raising his hand again, Jake tried answering without sounding like a complete imbecile.
"I don't know much about that, but, from what I've heard, I'm guessing she reeeeeeeeeally didn't like it, sir..." he shrugged. He was usually one to delve into the history of fiction, rather than reading it, but he hadn't gotten that chance yet.
"Maybe she... erm..." Jake bit his lip.
"Freaked out?"
Pot, meet kettle.
