Eden wanted a memory like that!
"Wingardium Leviosa!" she swished and pointed her wand at her goblet, and it dipped into the water slowly before coming back up, as guided by her wand. Hehe. She grabbed the goblet from midair and DOWNED the fresh, cool water like it was LIFE GIVING. MAYBE IT WAS. She sipped until she had downed alllll of the liquid and collapsed, dramatically, on the ground. "Oh thank Merlin...gosh..." she was panting because she had drank SO FAST.
....was it getting...darker?
Eden sat up and shivered. "Tooooby--" she grabbed his hand and squeezed. THIS WAS SCARY. Dark. Eden normally wasn't scared of the dark, but right now, she was....especially since she didn't know what the heck was in store for them next...."Toby--" she whispered. "If it gets too cold, just know, I'm not against the body warmth method."
MHMM.
BREAK TIME.
Toby was still drinking deeply, with his eyes closed to maximise the experience, but he could still tell when the darkness began to fall. All at once, he stopped drinking and looked around. It WAS a bit chilly, Toby could only really tell because he'd been so warm and sweaty before and now the cool breeze was sending a chill right through him. Right on cue with Eden, he shivered too.
"It's okay, Eden. We'll be-" Oh, and she had his hand. Toby turned to look through her, still squinting as his eyes adjusted to the sudden nighttime... and found himself giving a snort of laughter. Man. Hahaha. Ha. That wasn't even FUNNY, but Toby was still a little giddy. All the ADVENTURE and EXCITEMENT had a tendency to make him go a... like that.
But yes. In all srsness.
"Me neither. We can do that if we start to freeze or whenever," Toby replied, giving a nod. "We'll be fine." He checked his watch on the wrist of the hand that held the now empty goblet. Bellaire's voice had said ten minutes... maybe one or two minutes ago. Plenty of time left.
"D'you think we do the rest of it in the dark?" That was EXCITING. ADVENTURE.
"And-"
Toby paused. He'd just shifted around, his usual fidgety sort of movements, and realised there was something in his pocket that hadn't been there a few minutes ago. Setting the goblet down, he just went ahead and reached for whatever it was, not even considering that it might be part of a DANGEROUS obstacle or that maybe some kind of dangerous animal had gone and made itself at home.
"Hey look... murtlap essence!" he explained, having popped the top of the phial off and given it a sniff.
"Did you get any bites from the bugs? You can use this!" It hadn't occurred to him to use it on his
own bites, or that Eden may have had some of her own.
