A competent camper...he was NOT!
Why was Lawson smiling? Was he laughing at Jake? Laughing at his pain? Did he put Josh up to it? Did he like the fact that Josh had hurt him?
All these thoughts ran through Jake's head as he stared at the man, his brow creased in worry, feeling himself rock back and forth to comfort himself (by this point the Healer wasn't touching his nose).
Unable to say anything for fear that his voice might go all wibbly and upset, Jake just blinked and looked back at Ashford.

She tilted her head to the side as she examined Jake's nose. It was indeed broken, but she felt it useless to say that aloud. Of course he already knew that much. He already felt that much. "Alright, Jake, close your eyes. When they're closed, I want you list any ten magical creatures you can think of," she said. She knew it sounded random, and she knew he'd probably find it silly; but she also knew him seeing a wand pointed directly at his face would make him even more nervous than he already was.
Breathing quite heavily (through his mouth of course) and close to panic, Jake tried to stop himself rocking and do as he was told. He squeezed his eyes shut and felt his fingers grip the bed real hard.
"Unicorn," he muttered to himself, kind of crazily.
"Unicorn, wwwwhite, pure, unicorn free..."
Okay... slightly calmer...
"Sphinx... luhh-lion, evil. Lion. Evil lion. Puh-pain."
Erm... maybe not.
"Thestral, death, thestral, see death, death, Set, Kyle, Helios, Abby, death death death..."
Oh Merlin, he was running out somehow.
"Snidget..."
