Clara much preferred happy-Eden and she hoped she'd stick around.
Now, as for the targets, the redhead moved her gaze to where Eden was pointing and looked at them. They weren't moving particularly fast, but they were still moving. "Yeah, lower ones first," she agreed ... and it couldn't hurt to try and get a feel for the spell again. When Eden said she get started Clara nodded and took a small step out of the way. She then proceeded to scrape her hair back into a ponytail so she had one less distraction. She was already at a slight disadvantage due to recent .... things leaving her a bit shaky - she didn't trust her aim.

Clara watched as Eden's balloon shot up at an angle, but stopped before it reached the target. "Not bad, though," she commented as Eden caught the balloon. "I suppose I should have a go." Not that she wanted to. After watching Eden, she felt even less confident in her own abilities. Nevertheless, she took a paint-filled balloon and positioned herself roughly underneath the target. Eden's had gone up at an angle, so obviously the spell didn't send object straight up. Deep breath. "Alarte Ascendare!" She said determinedly, pointing her wand at the balloon and watching as the balloon shot into the air. It went up, and up, and ... past the target she'd been aiming for and hit another target ....... SPLAT ... Clara moved out of the just in time, green paint covering the floor.
She looked at her friend in silence.
Eden watched Clara try to shoot her balloon up into the air and...WHOOH. "
YEAH!" she cried happily, holding up her hand for a high five.
"You hit one! I mean--not the one you were aiming for but--that's OKAY--" she beamed and felt so PROUD of the best friend.
She hopped out of the way of the green paint and grinned..."
This reminds me of the paint fight we had the first week of school--" had Clara gone? Eden couldn't remember, but the entire Ravenclaw house had been invited. Her team had NOT won. Hmph.
"All right--this time--it's my turn--" she wiggled her bum in anticipation and set her balloon on the ground once more. It looked like it might be purple paint...it was a purple balloon? So probably purple paint.
"ALARTE ASCENDARE!" she cried, the spell shooting from her wand tip and into the balloon, causing it to SHOOT right up, straight, and splattering against Eden's intended target. Thank Merlin the target hadn't moved. Purple paint sprinkled down, and Eden giggled and closed her eyes as some of it got into her hair...
"Purple highlights...for my blue hair?" she smirked and posed.
"How do I looooook?" she mocked a posh accent and tried her best to look DASHINGLY handsome....or something.
hehehe. HEHEHEHE.
