"Miss Bristol, hmm? I'm afraid I haven't been introduced to a Lorelai Bristol yet. If she drops by, though, I'll tell her you're looking for her," she promised. Although, she imagined by the time she came across Lorelai, Adam would have already found her himself. When she finished applying the paste to the boy's burns, she closed the tube then glanced back at Adam. "Alright, I'm all done. Your burns should gradually heal over a course of a few hours. The paste will keep them from causing you pain."
Nodding - well, attempting to nod, Adam didn't really want to mess up the Healer whilst she was putting the paste onto his cheek - Adam waited until she'd ceased to apply the paste and then spoke again.
"It's just that she's got my wand and my wand's snapped in two and it's probably in more pain than me right now and I was thinking that maybe you could heal it too because well I need my wand and I can't go without it and nowI'mgoingtoshutup," he said,
before realising how stupid he must've sounded.
But then again, the Healer was
clever, and she probably knew a way to fix his wand that wouldn't mean it'd backfire and burn him again.
Forcing himselgf to keep his hand by his side and not reach up to touch his now orange cheek, Adam pushed himself off of the bed.
"Thanks miss," he said with a grin.
