He didn't need Oakey to have another reason to call him Wimpy Theo, so he WOULD leave this race alive and very much not crying.
Was she gonna just stand there all day?!
The Slytherin looked over his shoulder only to find her GRINNING at him. He was shocked, he really was. "Hey! I hope you're not looking at my butt." Cos butts were kinda funny... and awkward. Anyway, he hoped she wasn't looking at his butt. And he wasn't GREEN. He had this totally under control..... but seriously, help right now would be appreciated.
Theo nodded, "Okay okay... do it quickly." Because his arms were getting weaker and weaker, and they were starting to wobble! Finally she was pulling... or falling backwards, and Theo managed to push his hands off the ground until he was standing. He grabbed hold of Cassia before she went toppling over, too. Good friend here. And it was also nice to wipe some of the goo onto Cassia's shirt without being too obvious. Nothing to see here, nooooope. "This isn't as easy as I thought it would be." No kidding.
Once they were standing properly again, Theo lifted his free foot until it was completely out of the goo, then placed it gently in front of him. That was the only way this was going to work. Slowly and one foot at a time. SQUEEEEEEEEEELCH.
More people were joining. Cassia saw Blue and Nigel. She wanted to flail and wave and shout over for them TO NOT come! That it was a trap! Goo! It's goo everywhere. Ooops. Too late. The Ravenclaws were already in. She couldn't feel guilty now, could she? Since she had Theo to help.Speaking of..whaaat! "
Umm..No I'm not." She wrinkled her nose but held her tongue because she didn't want to insult him especially being in that position. And Alice watching with such an amused expression. No, she was a good friend so she was going to ignore. Theo's butt. Seriously. How'd she look Dora in the eye then?
Fortunately, the procedure in which Theo was able to stand straight had been a success. Though, Cassia was about to flop back herself, but Theo was fast to grab her and help her stand still. "
..Th-anks," She said out of breath feeling her heart in her throat. She wasn't afraid of the goo. She was afraid of the public embarrassment. Especially that more people were gathering. But it was good now. She should push the negative thoughts away. "
You telling me," She shook her head. They were supposed to have fun.
She still was waiting for the fun part, you know?
Cassia, paused enjoying the feeling of being standing still not swaying or flailing in midair. She glanced down at her shirt and frowned. "
How did my shirt get goo all over it?!" Does it FLY! Then her eyes fell on Theo's hands. Oh, yeah he grabbed her before she fell. Well, that was better than being covered in goo from head to toe. Though she did mutter under her breath something about washing this shirt and all. No time for bickering.
As Theo lifted his foot, Cassia followed suit clutching Theo's shirt for balance. The snake looked ahead of them and the corner of her lips curled up a biiiiiiiiiiit. "
Not much left...and like we're still alive, good, right?" This was a joke but did her voice sound a little bit pathetic. And only now did she notice Lex and Oakey...? Were they enjoying splashing the goo? Better stay away from them.
"
Ok, our tied feet on the count of three," She announced. "
One...Two...Three," And she lifted her foot slowly.
