There was no way he was going in there.
So best to just agree to let Lori buy the wand, and when the time came, not let her. If that made any sense.
Wincing a little as Lorelai's hand brushed his face, Adam tried not to let it show. "So I guess I do need a new wand, eh?" he said weakly. And she was NOT going to buy it for him.
Nodding, as she pulled her hand away from his face, and placed her hands back into her gloves --on pair this time; Lorelai smiled at him softly. "Well, you do need a new wand, and I shall be paying for that, Call it an early christmas present. Even though I still have to get you something." She smiled again at him, and pushed herself up from the snow, pulling him up with her. Dont ask how she did it, just know that it involved standing on his feet and nearly ending up lying on her back in the snow again.
But she did it.
Quickly stuffing her wand back into her bag, and taking his two halves from his hands and placing them within a small pouch in the bag, she smiled at him again, and took his hand in hers. "Come on you, we'll go visit the healer ... Get that burn checked out." She paused quickly, checking she hadn't left anything behind in the snow, and nodded as her glance behind confirmed she hadnt. "And before I forget, don't touch it, it'll only make it hurt more. Now come on." She sounded so orthoritative as she pulled at his arm heading off in the direction of the castle.
Heading for the Hospital Wing and Healer Ashford, to be exact.
