Why was the professor talking about noses. She hadn't even decided on a bone yet...sure she'd considered it but she hadn't said that aloud...had she?
Realization dawned on her in the exact same moment that the bone in the upper part of her nose winked out of existence.
For anyone who had been watching closely well they might've seen the split second of panic and surprise, before it seemed as if her face collapsed in on itself.
Gone was her nasal bone and with it a part of her frontal bone and the perpendicular plate of the ethmoid bone, all in the space of one second. Blinking a few times, it took her a bit to realize that it wasn't her vision that had changed it was her face!
Without a nasal bone, the space between her eyes was diminished to the point where if she didn't work her forehead muscles in a permanently surprised look her entire vision would melt into a cross eyed one.
And her nose....
Oh her nose! Hesitantly bringing up a hand, she felt the still intact cartilage flopping this way and that, the tip hanging down so that it swayed over her upper lip.
The act of looking down at it though caused her eyes to tip in again. The skin of her eyebrows wrinkling forward so that she felt for all world as if she was one of those wrinkly faced dogs.
Panicking, Ivory slapped a hand to her forehead holding up her face and preventing her eyes from turning inward again.
Stretching the skin, she was able to concentrate her vision and walk carefully back to her workstation, her nose swinging back and forth over her face.
After a bit of fumbling one handedly, to open her potions kit and take out a ladle, she turned to the Professor questioningly...Drink potion now? Yes??
