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.. "

To say he was thankful he wasn't harmed on the spot was an understatement but all was well as he stood there conversing with his partner and friend. Aus could see the wheel's turning in Zeph's head as he repeated the riddle they had been given several times. This was why he wanted to talk it out before going ahead and just giving the Sphinx the very first answer that they came up with. Talking things out was always helpful and it tended to make more sense when you heard it out loud.

Hearing Zephyr's take on his own thoughts made him think more closely about it. "True. Being as we're standing here in a dessert bubbles aren't very likely, are they?" Yeah, he wasn't entirely sure. "Alright, I'm going, I'm going..." Snowflakes it was.

Slowly stepping forward he looked at the Sphinx before him. "Snowflakes. We think the answer is snowflakes." Hopefully they were right!
