And don’t worry, she wasn’t going to make it easy for him.
She smiled sweetly when he agreed. “Samuil. I’m Anna.” She nodded to his suggestion and went to the other side of the line indicated by the professor. “Okay,” she said, loud enough for Samuil to hear her, hopefully. Now... she was supposed to be super detailed this time, right? She tossed the ball between her hands. “So, I’m going to throw the ball with my right hand? Um. And I’m going to aim for your left shoulder. The squishy part, not the bone.” Was that detailed enough? Hopefully, ‘cause she didn’t know what else to say. “Um... one, two... three!” And... she threw the ball, doing her best to hit where she told the boy she would. Samuil was twitching. He didn’t like the idea of not being able to use his eyes. But considering the point of this exercise he understood the reasons behind the blindfold. Still didn’t mean he had to like it. He tried to focus in on Anna’s voice, but found it hard. There were a lot voices in the room. One in particular, he thought he knew complaining about not knowing her left from her right. He was pretty sure he knew who that one was and was extremely grateful he hadn’t had to partner with her.
Then he heard Anna’s voice saying something about hitting him in the left shoulder. He heard three, and shifted down and right…and the ball grazed hisshoulder, bumping his ear. Thankfully it hadn’t hurt. ”Nice toss Anna,” he said standing back up straight. Only now he wasn’t sure if he should take his blindfold off to retrieve the ball or if Anna would use a summoning charm on it. Was she even old enough to know a summoning charm?
