Even though Ellie was quite light and he trusted his ability with this spell, there was just the slightest worry in the back of his mind that he'd drop her, just because he anticipated the worst case scenario. "I'll hope you trust me, too, then. Should we move over a bit?" He eyed a nearby group and their beach balls. "And... do you want to try first? Or should I?"
"Very good, then." Even though the assignment wasn't necessarily
life threatening. Max trusted her. That was all she needed to know.
Ellie grinned and squeezed his hand tightly. Out of symbolic meaning of their unity, for all watching. Though, she'd need that hand back soon enough, if he wanted her to cast properly.
She very nearly rolled her eyes when he asked about trusting
him.
"With my life," she agreed. He should definitely know that for sure. In all the serious Quidditch injuries she's had, Max was there. And as long as Max was there to rescue her, she'd do anything.
Following his gaze to the group of younger students and their balls, she nodded. More space would be appreciated. Especially if unexpected flailing were to occur mid-air.
"Mmmm, I'd like to, if you don't mind," Ellie answered, releasing his hand to unholster her wand.
He could get prepared in any manner he pleased. Depending on if he'd rather be levitated laying down, sitting, or...standing, even though that just seemed silly for some reason.
Unless he
did mind and
he wanted to go first. That was also okay.
