Now they had a magical contract (of sorts) for Upstead to behave himself at all times... or suffer the penalties.

"As for your stutter, there are potions and therapies that may help resolve or at least lessen the impediment. However, I should like to discuss this with Healer Ashford as it is more her area of expertise. If you like, I shall be happy to owl her and at the lady's convenience, we could meet with you and see what can be done." The man would take your thumb or tongue privileges, or curse you without batting an eye, but he wasn't inhumane. But it was a health issue, and so it was appropriate that a healer manage the case.

Besides, it was a good excuse to meet with Healer Ashford again... He might need to call on her again in his next class, so establishing a rapport seemed like a wise idea.

"What else did you wish to discuss with me today?"

Jake wrinkled his nose and looked at his thumbs. Well... at least he had them back. Almost subconsciously, Jake raised his thumb to his mouth and chewed on the end of it; an old habit.

"The hhhhealer?" he asked nervously, remembering that encounter in Lawson's office with the woman. Plus... how many times had he visited the woman?

Still... "I'd lllike that very mmmuch if yuhh-you could ddo that for me ssssir."

Oh! Speaking of Lawson. "B-b-before I ffforget... that amulet you tttook off me last yyyear was gggiven to me by Lllawson. Cuhh-can I, err... hhave it back?" And then, realising what Kazi might interpret from that question, Jake went on hurriedly. "T-t-to return it. Nnnnot use it. If yyyou tuh-tuh-trust me, that is..."

And now to the final point. The most important.

"I... I errr... wwwwanted to ask fffor muh-more informmmation on thuhh-that pppotion thing from the lllesson. Where I asked... if a ppppregnant woman was to tttake it..." Dang! What was the thing called? It sounded like amortentia, but had the 'agg' in there somewhere. "And... like... dddo you think it's wwwworth me persuading my p-p-parents to get me ch-checked fffor... that thhhing you mmmentioned?"
