Ella very much liked when Alec was smiley and she gave his hand a small squeeze in return. This was nice.

And when they'd both put the spell on their eyes, Ella smiled at the boy and nodded. "Yup, now we find Polaris A, B, and Ab." Slight blush cause ab and yeah...yeah. Anyway.

Oh and they could hold hands again now. Seeing as they weren't using the sextant this time she didn't see why not. The blonde reached for Alec's hand and laced their fingers together, a small smile on her face. There, she was ready to find them now.

Looking up, the sixteen year old tilted her head and began the familiar search for the big dipper. Hm. It was most certainly right up-"There." And was it weird that she was talking to herself? Shrug. She followed the pointer stars and eventually landed on Polaris, a small smile playing on her lips. "I think...I found Polaris and maybe..." SQUINT. "That could be Polaris Ab...maybe." She still didn't see Polaris B, though. Maybe Alec would be able to find it?


So... Martin wasn't anywhere to be seen. Nor were many of the other ducks, actually. Alec looked down at the watch Ells had given him for their one year anniversary before looking back across the pond again. Maybe ducks just had an early bedtime? And speaking of Ells, Alec looked over at her and grinned before squeezing her hand back.

"Awesome!" he said, placing the sextant in his bag with one hand, "Hopefully they won't be too hard to find." Because the sooner they got this over and done with, the better, right? Yeah? Maybe the ducks will come out by the time they were done too! GRIN.

He looked down at their hands and interlocked fingers and grinned again before looking back up. Right. Focus. They had three things to find this time and that couldn't be done if they were distracted, yeah? His eyes searched out for Cassiopeia and he was following the route from the top of the middle of the 'W' when Ells had found the Big Dipper. Really. That... was FAST!

"Yeah, looks like that is Polaris!" GRIN. "And if that's Polaris and that's Polaris Ab then... that must mean..." Polaris B. Where... are... you? Frown. ... OH! HEY! "There! That could be Polaris B, right?" he asked, pointing up at the sky.
