I must thank you for your Christmas present, cousin. It's proved endlessly useful over the past several days. I believe your card suggested that the charm could change it to a blade, a two-tined fork, a two-pronged pincer, a three-pronged grasping tool with an opposable digit, or a pen/cigarette holder as necessity and imagination might command, but Our Lord has found much greater potential in your spell and considerably more function in my hook than you or I could have imagined.

It seems I'm to have several hours' respite now, perhaps until morning but perhaps not. Would you mind terribly if I came there?
