You'll have to use at least two for a whole arm." she felt queasy just saying the words out loud but forced a smile to her face.<br/><br/>Looking to Jacob she waited for him to tell them anything he could about the scroll, though she knew he had not discovered much as of a few moments ago.<br/><br/>They ate comfortably until Chloe reentered the kitchen, informing them of Lewis's sudden departure.
