Thankfully, Tayla was back on her feet and already eager to try her luck at the spell again.
Good good. No harm no foul, as the expression went.
"I think I've had enough for now," Kurumi nodded. Important thing was that nothing melted. Now she needed to, erm, make sure that Tayla was confident with the spell so that if and when the time came she could defent herself. "Sure thing," she nodded again, taking hold of her arm again with both hands.
Anything to prolong changing into those...things...
"Thanks," Tayla replied, hoping this time she'd do better - but also hoping she wouldn't hurt Kurumi too much.
"Relashio! Relashio!" she said the words in her head and made a couple of sharp jabs with her wand pointed towards the ground.
"Okay..." Tayla gripped her wand in focus and pointed towards Kurumi's hands. She imagined they were the long fingers of a grindylow, but at the same time reminded herself they were Kurumi's hands. That would keep her intent moderated, wouldn't it?
One...two...three! "Relashio!"
