Sophie was ALWAYS READY. "Yep!" She let the ball balance on her open palm and watched it carefully, looking between Rea and the ball, watching expectantly...
Aaaaand after a moment of silence, the ball was NO LONGER IN SOPHIE BROWN'S HAND, and Soph BEAMED over at Reagan where the ball had gone. "Look at you. You're a professional. Y'make this look super easy. Are non-verbals your thing?" Because they weren't Sophie's thing at all, though she was trying VERY HARD, OKAY?
She was half tempted to cheat, to practice this little activity with verbal incantations... but of all people Soph could fail at non-verbals in front of, Rea was probably the best possible person. Reagan wouldn't make her feel stupid or look down on her or be disappointed in her. If anything, Rea would just build her up, right?
...But she was still a little apprehensive, and she subtly tried extending her wand outward, waved it in a sweeping motion, and tried to silently cast, Depulso!
"Shh! I'm just comfortable with charms, since I use them so often. I think the practice helps." Rea chirped across the space between them, STILL bouncing excitedly in place. And thank goodness this was Charms...because if Sophie wanted to see real failure, she only needed to watch Reagan trying to perform Transfiguration spells. Of course, she had a good sense of humor about the lack of success, as it was part of the learning process, but for the life of her, she could NOT get them to work out for her.
...BUT SHE'D KEEP TRYING. That's all she could do, right?
Breath bated, Reagan watched eagerly as Sophie concentrated and waved her wand. In fact, Rea almost dropped the ball...as she was cheering her friend on. Soph HAD this, didn't she know? She was going to OWN this charm. Nothing to sweat!......and even when it didn't fall DIRECTLY into her hand...AT FIRST...it had landed on her head, which then caused said ball to roll/bounce down into her palm. It was so perfect, it would probably never be done again.
That was Sophie Brown for you. Doing the impossible!...and making it look flawless.
Laughing and doing a small jig at her accidental success, Rea flicked her wand again, doing the 'M' shape, and repeating the incantation in her mind. WOULD IT WORK WITH HER LAUGHING? Why not? Laughter made everything stronger in the older Claw's opinion.
Depulso!
