*pokes her for spoiling the fun* Ikr? She's sooo confused by all this! xD Rhibear ~ Madam Solo ~ Dark Brooding Girl ~ Accio Jedi ~ Gryffinclaw ~ Just a doll So was that a yes to her skipping the promised dinner? Desiree momentarily glanced in Mitsuki and Mercer’s direction, trying to gauge their reactions. This whole situation was incredibly confusing! She tried to handle it as gracefully as she could, just like any princess should do!
Compared to… that, dealing with the Sandbox Tree was relatively straightforward. Desiree cautiously peered over her shield, half-expecting a barrage of seeds to fly at her any second, but none came. Her spell had worked, yay! She beamed, unable to help feeling pleased with herself for freezing the tree on her first try, but there wasn’t time to dwell on her success for long. She still had to extract the seeds!
She glanced at the tree, searching for a pod hanging low enough for her to reach. Spotting one near the back, she aimed her wand and cast, “Diffindo!” Any other time, she probably would’ve attempted the spell nonverbally, but she didn’t know how long the tree would stay frozen. She wanted to get the job done before it started spitting seeds at her! As the cut appeared, she took a quick moment to inspect her dragonhide gloves for any holes. She knew the pods were safer to touch than the sap, but she still wasn’t taking any chances!
Only when she was sure her gloves were intact did she gently scoop the seeds out of the pod and place them in the pouch slung over her shoulder. She gave the pod one last look when she was done, just in case any seeds were left behind. Looked like she got them all!
