I'm sure enough that I even promise I'll keep my mouth shut if I regret it in the future.
[He's fairly sure that won't happen, though.
Giving Varian's hand a pat he extricates himself from his hold before getting to his feet.]
I'll be back before you know it.
[Geez, he really needs a car or a motorcycle or something. Maybe he can ask his blessings basket for Starchy's bike? Or Hot Daniel. Hot Daniel 2.0. That'd be nice.
.... Or maybe he could ask Max for a lift. He isn't sure if that would be weird, though. Jake gave him rides all the time back home, but Jake's his brother.
At any rate he'll make the second trip to the treehouse, again trying to go as quick as possible. He'll grab the mostly melted candle, as well as the Enchiridion and Billy's gem just in case, then book it back to Varian's. When he returns he dumps the book and gem on the couch and scoops up Hazel, then heads back upstairs.]
Okay, one weird deer candle that'll help with nightmares!
[Which he slams onto the nightstand, before carefully holding Hazel over it. The fire wolf pup wiggles and lights it easily, and Fern sets him on the ground so he can scurry off to go hunt Ruddiger. With the candle lit Varian's whole bedroom is going to be affected, so goodbye physical and mental anguish.]
