Abey was bouncing. Bouncing on his toes and sort of flailing his arms in his total excitement because wow actually people had mentioned the adrenaline of duelling but nobody had QUITE mentioned just what a THRILL it was actually. All of his nervous energy was still nyooming through his body but now they were getting started Abey was so HYPED.

....... Okay, but the way that that Carlton kid had hit the floor like that made Abey feel a little bad, actually. Or a lot bad. It was all very well and good wanting to win, but actually maybe there was a way he could do that without hurting people. Maybe? Hopefully. Actually.

He wanted to blurt out a 'sorry!' and maybe had sort of opened his mouth to do so right as Carlton was getting to his feet, but then there was a spell coming RIGHT HIS WAY, and the LEG-LOCKER CURSE, no less. Nightmare. So, instead of apologising but only because he was sidetracked actually, Abey let out a yell of alarm and very dramatically took a dive to the floor to get out of the way.

Except that diving was a stupid idea because with all the ACTION Abey couldn't really do much to defend himself from the next spell. In fact, he didn't even realise that another spell had come his way until he sprung BACK up to his feet......... and left his wand on the floor. Uh.

... Okay. Picking UP the wand, Abey held it up and opened his mouth ready to cast again........ and dropped it. And then again, when he made a second attempt at picking it back up. Suddenly realising what must have happened, Abey tried with his other hand to pick up his wand - because he could use his right hand too, though not as naturally as his left - but found his fingers just as jelly-like on that side.

There wasn't TIME to faff about trying to pick up his wand, though. This was a DUEL. And PANICKING was about to happen because Abey's fingers may as well have been SLEEPING and he NEEDED THOSE.

In his desperation, and moving as quickly as possible in case another spell could come his way, Abey lowered himself to one knee to get to the ground and just about managed to scoop up his wand with both hands, pinning it between his palms, before using his RIGHT palm to forcibly move the fingers on his left hand so that they were gripping his wand properly. So... okay, he would just... continue like this. Two-handed hold. This was fine. This was fiiiiiiine. This was... not fine probably actually not really.

But, okay, listen. Abey couldn't wait until he learned all the counterspells and shield spells, because that would make this soooooo much easier.

AH-HA! He was back on his feet again, and holding his wand in that peculiar way of his which was really just weird actually.

Abey didn't have time to do anything particularly special or fancy for his next move; he was focused only on sending SOME kind of magic back and, because he was sort of actually at a bit of a disadvantage now, he said the first spell that came to mind that might be something of a disadvantage for Carlton too, at least for a moment so that Abey could get a little more used to these jelly fingers and maybe think of a spell that didn't have too much of a complicated wand movement.

"Steleus!"

He was desperate to try and cast a second spell too, one that had just flown into his head, but that one had been tricky enough with his jelly finger predicament actually and it was already fully getting in the way actually.

SPOILER!!: Points
