"Yours looks better, though," she commented, examining the umbrella Mo was waving in the air. He'd managed to put stars AND clouds on it? Not fair. Not fair at all.
"It's okay, I don't mind being cold." Besides, if he was cold, that was an issue, too. But if he wanted to go first, then he could. Alice hopped up and followed him to the shower cubicle. He wouldn't get wet if the umbrella worked, yeah? And it seemed like it would do just fine.
So, what? Was she just supposed to shoot water at him now? She could do that. "You probably WILL get wet, on account of opening umbrellas indoors is bad luck and the only bad thing that could possibly happen at the moment is getting drenched." That made sense, didn't it? There wasn't any other awful thing that could happen to him that she noticed, either way.
Alice set her luminous umbrella on the ground beside her before pulling out her wand again. "Mmk, ready?" 'Course he was. All she had to do was shoot water at him now. Now, what was that incantation again? "Aguamenti." .. nothing. "Wait, let me try again." She was persistent if anything, yeah? "Aguamenti."
There was that stream of water she'd been waiting for. Now to see if his pretty little umbrella creation would hold up, that was it.
"My first one was really plain, so I made a sec..." Mo started to explain, but he fell off as Alice raised her wand and made faces like she was about to drench him to the skin. And then
he would be the cold one. "I don't think I believe in bad luck. I believe in good luck, though... somehow..."
He spun his umbrella a bit before lowering it enough to peek at Alice once again... which was a big mistake, as Mo immediately took a stream of water to the eye. Not his black eye, fortunately, and Mo jerked his umbrella back up in front of his face with a sputter.
Totally worth it, though.
His umbrella held up well enough. No leaks, no turning inside out, and if it couldn't keep water from pouring off the surface and onto his feet, well... that was really his own fault for holding it too close to his body. Mo moved it out and tilted it away, letting the water pour downward and swirl down the drain.
"Okay!" He waved a hand over top his umbrella. "Enough enough enough."
