The lion was just about to jab her wand towards the dummy again when a voice that she would recognize anywhere approached her.
"Hey." she greeted back to her... friend, yes friend, Adi. She was pretty sure that her having trouble was obvious, but she knew Adi was sweet, and wouldn't completely call her out on it.
"It's the story of my life isn't it?" The jokes were coming back naturally. Maybe all of the weird vibes were over?
Say what?
"Oh yeah? You're on Rehman!" The thought of their previous bet came to mind, and she quickly stored it away. She was not going down that road again, not when they were finally on speaking terms. She watched as Adi tried the spell. The rope appeared, she saw it.
"Watch this." AJ was about to show him how it was done. Her competitive juices were flowing.
"Carpe Retractum." Purple smoke, or light, she couldn't be sure appeared, but there was no rope. It wasn't over yet though, Adi had failed to get his spell perfect, in front of her anyways.
