"Thanks." She didn't know how far along the other teams/students were, but she felt like her and Lux were making some pretty good time. AJ met Lux's hand for a well deserved high five. Nothing was going to hold them back.
Brow wiping from her partner only meant that she wasn't the only one dying of a heat stroke. AJ loved summertime and the outdoors, but this heat was take your breath away kind of hot. For a moment she thought it would be pretty funny if the pond her eyes landed on was only a mirage. In a sick and twisted sort of way. You know, the kind of thing Bellaire would probably get a few giggles in at. But it couldn't be because Lux saw the same thing she did.
AJ looked up at the older girl. She wasn't scared was she? The lion would totally protect her. Turning a frog into a water goblet... wicked! Lux was able to get it to work for her on her first try.
"Wicked spell work." Her mouth was so dry. She needed her own critter to make the spell work on.
Picking up a cute little lizard, she decided it would do.
"You're so cute!" she gushed. This little guy would do as well as any other critter.
"Vera Verto." BOOM! AJ had her own water goblet to drink from. Quickly she scooped up as much water as her container could hold and gulped it down. Once she had her fill, she wiped her mouth off with the back of her hand.
"So refreshing." Time to move on?
