"Yellow works," she agreed, watching Eden step up to the mark.
Again, she tried to watch Eden's technique to see if there was anything she could learn from it. Not too softly, or else it wouldn't reach the target, but not too .... aggressively, or you'd end up coated in paint. Clara tried to hold in her laughter, but as soon as a smirk formed on her lips she cracked. "HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA." Oh my. Was she tearing up a little? "Congrats," she choked out, because Eden had hit the target, before stepping forward and patting part of Eden's arm that didn't have paint on it.
"My turn, sunshine," she said, cracking up again at her own pun.
Sunshine. Yellow. Oh, she was hilarious.
The pressure was on now, though. If she messed up, Eden would be all over it and would never, ever let her live it down. Deep breath. Clara went over to the box of balloons and picked out another green one. Green was her favourite colour, if that wasn't obvious. Cautiously, she stepped up to the mark and, to avoid slipping, cleaned the paint off the floor. "Scourgify." With the floor now hazard free, she turned her attention to the targets looming above her.
Throwing caution to the wind, she decided the odds were in her favour if she just 'aimed and fired'.
The redhead placed the green balloon down and took a step back, before pointing her wand at it. "Alarte ascendare," she said somewhat loudly and watched it soar up towards the targets. To her surprise, it passed the lower targets and kept going. Clara's eyes fixed on the middle target, which was moving from side to side, and held her breath. Would it? Would it hit it? ............. IT HIT ..... and she had just enough sense to lower her head before a sea of green showered down upon her, but she didn't care, because it had worked. Her ridiculous idea worked. She looked at Eden, grinning, and pushed her now-green hair out of her face.
"
Aaah ha..ah ha...so funny." She SNORTED at her friend and crossed her arms to WATCH. HMPH. And to think Eden had been SOOOO lovely to Clara recently, eh? She didn't want Clara to FAIL, no. But she did want her friend to get covered in paint. KARMA.
And....it seemed Clara didn't care about the paint, because she just LET it fall on her. "
Okay, Christmas Clara." Because now Clara was both red AND green...merlin.
"
I think I'll try the top target, but if I don't get it--I won't sweat it." She said with a shrug. She went to grab a blue balloon and she set it on the ground. She was beginning to tire of this activity, so she didn't want to sent up the balloon with timing...but she wanted to just...RANDOMLY shoot it up and hope of the best. So...here she went.
She looked up at the targets, and then back at the balloon. OKAY.
"Alarte Ascendare!" she cried, and the blue balloon shot up! RIGHT UP--the lowest target veered out of the way--and it hit, right square in the middle, the second target. Well then. Blue paint splattered all over the target, and only a few drops sprinkled down on Eden. She smiled over at Clara.
"Want give it one more go?" she asked.
Well.
"I like how I did better when I didn't time it. Just great."
