Billie had the brass to find this funny. Jimmy might never once have pictured himself having a future of taming manticores, but the best thing Farrow could tame was a dumb cat, so why he was jeering, he didn’t know! “Maybe I will,” Jimmy said in an uppity tone, turning towards Billie with the new wand in hand. “And then I’ll set it loose on you!” He mutter-threatened, waving the wand a little aggressively...
Upon which it made a sad wheezing sound and nothing else. His cheeks flushed. Even stupid apple wouldn’t work?
