seven | never wanted to grow up

[Call Placement. Addressing: Mayfield. Filters: none.] 


Requesting advice... 

About teeth.  [He may be sounding a bit worried.]

Specifically, how do I... reattach one? 



[Oh, the horrors of dental maturation. Slugger doesn't understand and suspects this is some unnatural and cruel act of nature. 

ALSO, if you are one Edward Nigma, there may be something (not a tooth) hidden beneath your pillow. That something would happen to be a sheep's liver stolen from the local butcher shop. Consider it a "welcoming gift" from your new "son". Note that he has been courteous enough to wait only two days before stuffing it under there instead of the intended seven because he just couldn't contain his excitement.]

So, humans have two sets of teeth...?

[Will keep this in mind should it happen again.

Will also keep in mind not to use the term "humans" as if to suggest he's something other.]

Is it like this with other body parts? [...So much for being subtle.]

[Luckily, Hermione's used to nonhumans at this point.]

That's right. The first set is normally lost mid-adolescence.

No, not exactly. The teeth are the only thing that do that, however, hair and skin are constantly being shed when the cells die off. But that's not nearly as noticeable as a tooth.

[You are a fountain of knowledge.]

...

I'm not a Leper, then?

[You should see her in class, Slugger.]

No, I'd think not. Losing teeth is a normal occurrence. If they were your older teeth than it might be a cause for worry, but at the moment you should be safe.

[This gives him reason to relax. It seems to be the consensus that this is "normal" and not leprosy. He'll have to take her word for it.]

Good.

...

Thanks. For explaining it.

It's not a problem, honestly... Happy to help.
