The noise of the glass on the floor startled him. He returned Jasper's question with an incredulous look, wondering what had just happened and why his brother was apparently planning not to address it. Jasper might not have had the steady hands of a healer, but he wasn't typically known to be this clumsy, spilling drinks while they were both just sitting still on level ground.
"The usual way. Are you going to clean that up, or should I?" he asked, with a nod towards the puddle on the floor. He didn't wait for a response before retrieving his wand and vanishing the mess. Should he offer to replace the drink? He still didn't understand what had caused Jasper to drop it. An extreme reaction to something he had said, perhaps, though he couldn't imagine what would have warranted it. Had Jasper had a particularly unpleasant interaction with the spinster poet Dempsey and he'd been shocked before Victor clarified?
