Anyway, yes, the spell. Tobias watched carefully as Lex did it and nodded to himself. Yes. Right. Simple enough, really. "I just have to be careful I don't poke my eye out!" he said cheerfully.
RIGHT THEN.
Closing his eyes, Tobias pointed his wand at them, which was a weird feeling and not one he was likely to get the hang of. Like how natural was it to point your wand at your own face? Not natural. Still didn't feel natural to even use a wand but once again that was thought that was just going further off-topic.
"Oculo Focalis," Tobias said and tapped his shut eyelids sharply. Owwwww. He opened his eyes and rubbed them slightly, looking up at the sky. No... no it hadn't worked. "Hold on." DEEEEEEEEEEP BREATH. Eyes shut again, aaaaaaaaaaaand... one more time with FEELING.
"Oculo Focalis!" Tap.
It worked this time, he knew that without even opening his eyes. They already felt different. His eyelids flew open again and he looked at Lex now in SUPER SUPER HD. Okay, I'm ready.
TO THE STAAAAAAAAAAAARS.
Ummmmm....pickles...? She would have thought that strange but then she remembered it was Oakey they were talking about. He mixed veggie juice and told her it was firewhiskey. Not cool.
"Funny...I think I might have heard him over the explosions." She'd been wondering what he was on about but didn't think to ask.
She winced at his mention of poking his eyes out.
"Yeah. Don't do that." She could only be so responsible. It would have been hard explaining that she let him poke his own eye out. At the same time, she wouldn't intervene. This was all him. She winced just a little, yeah, she saaaaaw him poke at his eye.
Seemed the second try worked better though.
"Sweet! Alright, we'll just find polaris again, shouldn't be too hard, we were just looking at it a second ago." Ah. See. Right where she left it. Good star. It would get a cookie later...she'd just need a REALLY long ladder.
Looking up at it she finally thought she was seeing what Professor Airey was talking about...mostly the big bright light but she was assuming that was both Polaris A and B. Just a tiny distance off she was sure she was looking at another star. Polaris Ab...? That was it...right??
"It's the smaller one that's polaris Ab, yeah?" She would assume so. This meant she'd found the system. Excellent! They could head back once he was done and no one would be the wiser!
