"And..yeah..I got the little flags to mark our area..and I think a ruler..." she slipped off her shoes and her socks and waded into the water. "AH. IT'S KINDA' COLD." She shivered. Eeeeeeee.
Aaaand she dug through her back, chuckling when Tora offered her a hug. Eden didn't mind, she hugged back and just laughed. "Oh I grabbed an extra ruler, look at THAT." It was like she had foreseen this...that Tora would need one. "And I got three flags..just in case." She pulled out one and eyed the water they were standing it. "Pick a spot to measure and stick this in--" she handed Tora a flag. Eden herself suck a flag right in front of herself, and glanced at the sky. "We better hurry before it rains.." Hugs! Tora had meant it as a joke since she was soaked, but she would take a hug any day for sure. Not only was Eden taking giving out hugs, she had a bunch of extra supplies, too! "You know, you came much more prepared than I did. I was just going to use one of our classmates many, many flags," she said, taking one of the offered flags and waving it towards a grouping of ribbons on poles sticking out of the water. She stepped a few feet from Eden and shoved her own flag deep into the sand. For good measure she waved her wand and her name appeared on the red fabric. On second thought, she tapped it and the flag turned blue. Ravenclaw, you know? "I suggest you make your ruler resistant to water so it doesn't warp like mine," Tora nodded at the ruler in Eden's hand before struggling to remember the spell to seal her own. "Impervious," she said and a glimmer passed over her ruler. Now for the measuring... but what to measure? The base water level would probably do since this was the first time. She plunged her ruler into the water to measure how high it was. Two and a half feet. No, now it was two feet. Three feet! The waves due to the oncoming storm weren't making her job easier. "Are you having any troubles with these bloody waves?" she asked Eden over her shoulder. "I think I'm just going to put down the average yeah? So.... like, two and a half feet?"
