Actually, it wasn't until Carlton dropped his wand that Abey was suddenly struck by a VERY LATE brainwave. All this time, he had been struggling with holding his wand (and he STILL was, thank you very much actually; this didn't get any easier and his arms were starting to get tired from all the work they were putting into it) and had neglected to REALISE that actually he knew how to do that very same spell, and could put Carlton at exactly the same disadvantage. Here he had been, considering trying his luck at a full body bind (but that was silly really because it would probably take every ounce of his mental and magical energy when at his FULLEST potential and he was running very low on both right now actually, so it wasn't even possible) when the answer had been staring him in the face all this time. Or... more like the answer was on the ends of his wrists, but still. SAME THING.

Still catching his breath from his last display of... well... of whatever that was, Abey did his best to readjust his grip on his wand while he had the time, heart going BAM BAM BAM BAM BAM as he watched Carlton raise his own wand once again.

He was ready, ready to stop, drop, and/or roll, or dive or jump or soMETHING, but when the incantation rang out, and Abey recognised it... well, he was maybe a bit too surprised to even try to dodge the spell. He had expected BIG DANGER to retaliate against a FIRE ASSAULT but was met with bubbles. PRETTY bubbles, though, and kind of iridescent (Abey knew that word because he knew a lot about pretty colours and that was the best way to describe those bubbles).

A mixture of being surprised, somewhat taken by the bubbles and of deliberately stopping himself from jumping out of the way of a not-too-harmful spell meant that Abey stayed exactly in the path of the bubbles, which meant he got a lovely faceful of them.

"Pppfpfffpuh!" He spluttered, because they got all up in his mouth and nose and actually we a bit more of a hindrance than he expected them to be. They weren't as pretty when they were getting in your actual eyes. Actually, they sort of stung a bit. Not letting go of his wand with either hand, Abey bat his hands at the bubbles still attacking his face, and almost got a noseful of wand for his troubles.

That COULDN'T have been the only spell though, right?

Of course, no sooner had Abey thought that than Carlton was casting his next spell.

Uhhhhh... that definitely sounded like one to avoid. Yes. Quick as he could, Abey side-stepped out of the way once more, giving another dramatic little SPIN as he did so. Just... because Abey actually.

Quick quick quick! No time for waiting or slowing down, this was a DUEL. With his plan still firmly in mind, Abey raised his wand and - with some difficulty because fingers - cast a Jelly-Fingers Curse at Carlton. Finally, REVENGE.

Merlin. He was tired. And this was difficult. And he was tired. Lowering his wand again, Abey staggered a little bit to the side in his exhaustion. Time out? Take a break? Take five? Ten? A million? No? ... Well, okay.

SPOILER!!: Points
