The teen nodded once. "I do." He spoke quiet but sure casting a glance to Zephyr as he spoke before his blue eyes moved back to the Sphinx before them. Slowly but confidently he walked forward laying the scarab in question at the Sphinx's feet. "There you are..." Stepping backwards several steps he came to stand once more at this partners side as their riddle was given.
Aus turned to look at Zephyr when he said he knew he answer. Lightening was possible but that wasn't the first thing that came to his mind. He was thinking of a snowflake, once it was touched it melted but he wasn't entirely sure. There as also a butterfly but those more flew not float and well they didn't exactly disappear if touched so no that couldn't be it. "I don't know... I'm not sure it's lightening, man. I mean sure it moves through the sky but touching it would be our demise not the lightening's." Austin grinned a little bit thoughtfully mumbling the riddle under his breath yet again before looking at Zeph. "Dude! What about bubbles? Light as air and kinda float or drift through the sky... you touch one and it pops?" Yes? It made sense to him. Zephyr watched through held breath as Austin stepped forward and presented the Scarab at the Sphinx's feet and backed away unharmed... Oh thank Merlin for that... Zephyr couldn't imagine having to call his girlfriend's folks and tell them their son had gotten himself squished by a great big sphinx in the middle of the desert.
They conversed for a few minutes on the answer to the riddle they had been given... Apparently Zeph had heard it way differently and after Austin had repeated the riddle a couple times aloud he realized that Austin was right..
Lightening wasn't at all the right answer... In fact it was so the furthest from the correct answer.. " Dude... No .. I think ya had it with the snowflakes.... The sphinx isn't gonna know about bubbles... But Snowflakes occur naturally.. She may have seen them in the past... ", getting all excited... Sure it was the answer as e prodded him.." Go on, Aus... Give her the answer.. "
