Eyebrows furrowed, she was about to ask him just what he was trying to say when he finally spoke up and clarified.
"Ahh, I see. What Professor Lupa gave you was probably a Pepperup Potion, which is, I'm afraid, just the right potion to heal what you've got. You just need it in multiple doses rather than in one dose alone," she replied. Sure, the potion wasn't the tastiest in the world, nor was it pleasant to the ears, but it worked ever-so-perfectly when it came to being sick.
Again, she'd give him a spoonful of sugar to help the medicine go down, but he was allergic. Such an unfortunate allergy for a young boy to have. She rummaged through the cabinet for a moment, coming out with two phials of Pepperup. "Is this what you had before?" she asked. "If it was, you only need two more doses." She held one phial out for Jake.
Ugh. FAIL. That SUCKED.
His face visibly falling, Jake pouted a little at the Healer when he was told that the stupid ear steaming potion was just what he needed. And ANOTHER TWO TIMES?! That, my dear, is pure torture.
Still... warily, Jake took the potion from the woman and nodded. Yup. That was the stupid potion.
Eh. Bottoms up.
Grimacing as he drank, Jake emptied the potion into his mouth and hurriedly clamped his hands over his ears, whch made the steam feel worse... but still. He probably looked like a right idiot.
Still with his palms flat on either side of his head, Jake spoke up again before he even THOUGHT about accepting the last one.
"Puhh-professor Lupa wuhh-wanted mmmme to buhh-bring a nnnote to her nnnext class," he explained, looking uneasy.
"I thuhh-think... to pppprove I really was suhh-sick and nnnnot tttrying to get out 'cuhh-'cause of the st-... just ttttryinta guhh-get out..."
MEAN, TOOOOOPID POTION!
