[ does it really count as 'meeting jean' when billy had been in the middle of playing rayman on top of his dryer waiting for his laundry to finish tumbling when jean quite literally stumbled onto his doorstep, bleeding everywhere and asking for a first aid kit like a bandaid and some neosporin was going to be enough to fix her problem? it's not like he got a whole lot of warning - for any of it, really. jean showing up, his arm basically tearing itself open, nearly blacking out, actually blacking out.

why couldn't he just do the thing then? why did he have to give it to you? and what would he gain out of lying to you? if it was just as simple as doing the thing with the powdery stuff, then he could have just been like "here, do this thing real quick, thanks" and left it at that. but it's magical, right? you said it needed some kind of kick otherwise it wouldn't do what it needed to do. so why does that kick not count just because you only did it once? you did it. it counts. and you could probably do it again if you'd stop trying to discredit yourself.
back when i was first figuring out my magic, i would read a lot of like. self-help books that uh that teddy's mom gave me. for other reasons i guess? which sounds kinda weird in hindsight i guess, but they really helped me kind of build some self-confidence. positive affirmations, speaking the things i want to do or to be into existence (sans magic), etc. don't think i won't go down to the library and check out a bunch of them for you too.
i don't know if i can figure out if the lembas is safe, but i could probably make it safe, if it's not already. it wouldn't take anywhere near as much effort or energy as healing an injury, so it should be fine? worse case scenario, i accidentally reverse the effects and we just get super hungry afterwards and we order a bunch of takeout. or, well. one of us gets super hungry, anyway. we probably both shouldn't try it at the same time, just in case.
