"... and then the four of us are going to be taking a small field trip." He glanced at Upstead and Pryce. "I trust no shenanigans will take place in this lab in my absence."
"Will dddo, sir," Jake nodded, as the steam rising from his potion stopped. That meant it was nice and cured, and Jake packed almost all of his stuff away, save the potion and his wand, and let the cauldron cool down. It would be fine for a while, he was still in the room and stuff.
He went over to where Tibi was, observing the... well... shortness of him. He'd help the kid, sure, but he wouldn't do anything for him. This was Kazi's lesson to Tibi... and Jake was really REALLY starting to respect the man.
"Need a hhhand?" he asked the boy, a friendly smile on his face.
Sigh... He did still wish it was him who'd done what Tibi had done, so then Jake's best friend wouldn't have to suffer.
Hearing Kazi say he was going to leave, Jake looked up, surprised. Again?
"Yuhh-you can tttrust me, sssir," the boy reassured the old man. This responsibility thing was IMMENSE.
