Austin continued at his scrubbing pace, even when the Snake decided to go faster. This wasn't a race, Gregoire, this was detention. Plus, going that fast will tire you out. The third year knew that, and refused to go faster. In the middle of his scrubbing the back side of the second suit, Austin realized that his water was murky. He was definitely going to need new water soon. Geeze these suits were dirty, He thought. Did they ever get clean? He hoped that the suits appreciated being clean. It would be weird if the suits loved to be dirty, and were dirty on purpose. They were suits of armor for Merlin's sake! They needed to be clean in case of battle!

He wanted to take out his wand and cast the Auguamenti spell to get more water, but he realized that that was probably not the smartest idea. They were in trouble, and were cleaning suits to gain an understanding. They would learn not to fight, and to work together with people you don't like. At least... that's what Austin assumed was going on. For all he really knew, they could just be doing this for the sheer enjoyment of Professor Tanner. Speaking of which, he glanced over to her. She was sitting in a chair, which wasn't here when he arrived, and was knitting something. He pondered for a few moments on what it was. It must be pretty important, for she was very intently staring at it, so he figured now was not the time to ask for different water. Instead he kept going with what he had.
