The blonde's green eyes widened when she realized what she did and who it was and MEEP! "I. Am. SO. Sorry!" And he wasn't broken, was he? She was pretty sure there were laws about breaking boyfriends. "I just...I...Hey!" Sheepish smile and all. "If you forgive me for whacking you?" Please? "And it is confusing." Really really.
The blonde scooted a little closer to the boy. Y'know, for demonstration purposes and not anything else. AHEM. She then held up the sextant she'd brought and bit her lip. "I think...you just erm...use Polaris and move it like..." And she maneuvered the tool a bit. "Like this."
And then she reached into her bag and pulled out her notes and a quill. "So erm...the sextant reads 45 and erm...to find the latitude I just subtract that from 90, right?" Right...she thought so, at least.
Scribble. Scribble. Scribble. "I got 45." Small smile for the boyfriend. "Erm...your turn." And kissing during Astro homework wasn't the same as kissing in the astro tower so they wouldn't get detention if they did, would they? THUMP! "OWWWWW!" he cried, rubbing the side of his face. Note to self: Never EVER creep up on someone, especially this Captain. He looked over at her and grinned sheepishly. Was she scared or...? "It's only me!" Not, you know, the Bogeyman. Or Slenderbody or whatever that creepy guy's name was.
Alec let out a small chuckle and nodded. "Deal! Good aim, by the way!" Oh? And she found the object confusing too? "I hope we don't have to use it ever again..."
Her moving closer was a bad idea. Really. How was he meant to focus now?! He reached up and ruffled his hair, trying to keep his eyes on her hands and the sextant object in them. "Oh! That... doesn't look too hard..." Still confusing. "Thanks!"
And speaking of Polaris, he should try and find that too, right? He reluctantly tore his eyes away from Ells and her hands and looked up at the sky. Okay... Polaris... where are you? And... she was saying something. Something about the latitude? "Yeah, you do..." he said absent mindedly, his eyes taking note of the 'W' shape of Cassiopeia.
Big Dipper... Little Dipper... "FOUND IT!" "You got 45 for the latitude?" he asked, looking down at the girl and then at the sextant in his hands, "Oh... it won't be too different, right?" His turn... maybe this won't be confusing.
Also, could they get ice cream afterwards?
