It had been pretty cool, after, you know, the shock of being melted to the floor had worn off. "And... well, if Lawson didn't think you were capable of doing dangerous things with your wand intentionally, then he wouldn't have taken it, right?" This made sense in Tibi's mind... or at least he thought so. "Since he didn't take it when you did dangerous things on accident." He tilted his head and looked at Jake. Did it make sense to him?
"Is your foster mum a witch?" Tibi asked. He realized in that moment that he didn't know anything about Jake's family or why he was with a foster mother, but he didn't think it appropriate to ask. "I mean.. could she teach you at home if you left?"
Tibi opted to ignore the entire part about the kid dying. He didn't want to talk about it. It was completely unnerving and he was just settling down. The last thing he needed was the worry about dropping dead the next time he sat down in the library.
"I suppose so," Jake nodded. "But there is such thing as having wayward magic. I can't control it usually... maybe it's just in my head..." he suggested, shrugging his shoulders. Wow... in his head. What a comforting thought.
Not.
Letting a smile flit across his face, Jake nodded. "Yup," he stated, remembering the problems they had trying to find the right person who was magic and everything to take Jake in. "But she isn't like an all rounder. I mean... it's not fair on her... She has to make money for us, and she loves her job. I couldn't take that away. I mean... she takes bags of time off in the summer... sooooo... at least I get to spend time with her then," he said, feeling immensely uncomfortable with the fact that he'd not be able to see her until July.
Sigh.
"It ain't all bad, I guess," Jake remarked, though the more he thought about it, the more it really did seem kind of bad.
