Joshua's mouth trembled again and he pressed his lips firmly together and gave a teary eyed nod.
The boy smiled. "But you've still got the jar," he said.
"So?"
"So we can use it to track down whatever you lost."
Joshua looked hopeful for a moment, but then he remembered that the boy was at least twelve; he wouldn't believe in fairies; he'd call Joshua a silly little boy.
But while Joshua was thinking this sad fact through, the boy made a quick lunge and stole the jar.
"Heya!" Joshua whined, but he went silent as he spotted the strange sparkle in the jar. Joshua went very still as he watched the boy and the jar.
The boy looked at the sparkle in the jar in silent wonder for a long moment and then turned to give Joshua a meaningful stare. Joshua stared back, biting his lip in worry. Then, slowly, in a dawning moment of excitement, the boy split a grin.
"Looks like your fairy left us a clue," he said.
