"Yeah, but it's no big deal," he said, waving a hand as if it was of no importance. "I mean, I didn't get burnt so I'm fine…" then his smile faded and his eyes widened. "I didn't burn myself, right?" he asked a little more nervously now. He didn't really feel like… he got burnt or anything, but what if he was walking around with burnt skin on his face or something without being aware?! Ew… oh Merlin! No! His beautiful face! GAH.
No big deal? Ellie laughed nervously, scanning his face.
"Well you, er... Your face is... black." She took her pointer finger and rubbed some ash off his cheek. She showed her black finger to him with a frown.
Suddenly a million apologies and excuses flooded her mind. She spoke as fast as her mind was reeling.
"I charmed the note to disolve after a minute, but I wasn't sure if it would just fall to peices or explode like it did. I thought it would just, y'know, be GONE, but I hadn't used magic all summer and I didn't really mean it to do that. Oh, Braeden I'm so sorry I blew up your face! I really, I-I I'm sorry, I really am!" She said, her voice straining from not breathing inbetween words. It all sort of sounded like one reaaally long sentence. That's what happens when panic sets into Ellie.
