So. The good news was that Josh's sack had not been touched during this whole activity.
The bad news was that he had just so happened to be looking in the direction of the bright light cast by Nemesis and that had been a whole THING that he had not anticipated nor entirely adapted to. Normally it would have been a few blinks and then good to go, but he was a bit more sensitive to these things these days and...well...he was still seeing little rainbow spots with his eyes open and while closed. But the bad news didn't end there and his stomach dropped a bit when he realized that he had absolutely no idea where his sack of stones was now. It was...somewhere around here...
Uuuuuuuuh...
Scrambling back towards where he had been at the start of the activity, the Gryffindor patted the ground and felt nothing out of place for a bit before remembering that Finite was a whole thing. With a wave of his wand, Josh cast it in the general vicinity and entirely expected it to fad back into visual existence. Only it didn't.
Well...that was...well...shoot.
"I've got no sacks, professor," Josh confessed as he, er, just moved away from that area and over to the box with a bit of an emphasis on his empty hands. "So...see you in detention then. Sir." And you too Aboli, heyo. Little bit too apprehensive to admit to the fact that his was MISSING but...oh well.
As to the conversation about the Elder Wand, Josh wasn't sure what to say but knew he had to say SOMETHING otherwise the headmaster was going to go off his rocker again. He actually found himself agreeing a bit with Valencia about the general nature of the wand itself. "I've sort of always felt like the Elder Wand kind of reflected a sort of narrow mindedness thinking of wizarding kind and general assumption...power and strength being evil and you can only win it's loyalty through killing and death. Which I guess is a little fitting since the whole Thestral hair core and those creatures too suffer from negative associations because of the association with death. It's more people I wouldn't trust...rather than the wand itself...and probably make me a little paranoid...but then the wand will only serve you if you have accepted death, right? Like how you can only see a Thestral if you have seen and accepted death too? So...if you're paranoid and then all bonkers over someone killing you and taking the wand...then you're not really accepting death either and, well, sort of your own fault then if the wand won't serve you anymore."
