After his success with toast last week, Jonas had spent his free time trying his toaster out with a few other things. He'd found that bread worked well but crackers did not. That had been a gigantic mess and Jonas had felt sheepish enough to not touch the toaster for a few days.

But, he'd gotten over that and tried bread again, this time adding peanut butter once the bread had been toaster and packing it for a lunch. So, that's where he was now, prodding experimentally at the sandwich and wondering if he should eat the apple first. The apple was green, something he hadn't seen before but he'd been assured it was ripe.

Food examination and consumption was a lengthy process for Jonas but he enjoyed it. Food was a small but integral part of his memory that he was building.

She bit her lip, suppressing the bubble of laughter and the haughty posture disappeared as she leaned forward once more. "We'd not want that. I don't know if this place has skilled Healers."

"We wouldn't want that," he agreed, grinning at her movements. "I dropped a piece of bread on the floor because it was so hot when it came out of the toaster. My fingertips turned red. I wouldn't know what to do if I got burned. I've never had one of those before."

"You'd want to put cold water on it, cool the wound down," she said. "Tis all I know. There's magical ointments if you can't see a Healer, but I don't know if they have them here." Mayhap she needed to ask Emma what they were supposed to do in case someone got injured.

"In the Community, everything was treated with medicine," he shared, thinking back to those times. "Everything. There were very few injuries but the ones that did occur, you were given relief-of-pain medication and that eased it."

"That's lucky," she mused. "Healers cost a lot of coin and there's always sommat that goes wrong in the Lower City. The Dogs have good mages to fix us up if sommat happens on duty, but most aren't as lucky."

"Magic can heal too?" he asked. He remembered the word mage from a previous conversation with her but learning the extent of what different types of magic users could do was amazing.

She nodded. "It can do a lot of things. Healers are important. They make a Dog's life easier." At least at first. When you were young and you'd not had been healed so much that your body grew immune to the magic.
