"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?"
Eden snorted.
"I'm always prepared." Lies. "
And organized" She opened her bag wide enough to show Tora that Eden's bag was a mess.
"I'm such a top notch Ravenclaw." Clearly.
Oh. Tora had a good idea! Eden waved her wand and turned the flag blue, just one bright E on her flag. Heh. Only two blue flags out here, too. "Smart." She nodded over at her friend. "And that's...smart too. Wow." Eden was always astounded that people thought of things that she didn't. It was just...Eden felt so DUMB. Heh.
"Impervious--" she pointed her wand at the ruler and smiled as it was suddenly water resistant! YAY.
Eden bent over to try to measure...and...Um. UM?
"WATER STOP MOVING--" she snapped. Yeah, because water could TOTALLY do that. She finally just...kind of measured, but also kind of guestimated...
"Um..Yeah. I'll put that too. Since I think that seems right..." Water was a bit rocky today. "
The weather...is probably what's doing it," she said about the rocky water.
