D'OH! Never EVER trust an adult.
Jake looked down into Kazi's palm to see a couple of very familiar thumbs. The one he recognised to be his left even had that little callus on it from his teeth when he sucked his thumb. The boy looked like a really little kid who had a sweetie dangled in front of him and yanked away when he tried to grab it.
Raising his left hand to his face, Jake opened his mouth to stick the non-existant thumb in. NOTHING!
"Huhhh-how dddo I do thuhh-that?" he asked, looking soooo sadly at his left hand, and then to his right, where his fingers were still clasped within Kazi's.
Kazi had his thumb back.
Pure. Evil.
Kazimeriz chuckled.
"Do not be silly, boy. I removed them while you were distracted." He let go of the boy's hand, shifting the boy's thumbs to his right hand so he could reach for his wand. He stopped the thumbs from their poking (one of them crooked itself as if to 'wave goodbye' to Upstead) and returned them to his thumbtack dish. He then changed them back to thumbtacks once more.
"Now then. Let us discuss why you lost. Thoughts?"
