Wrinkling his eyebrows in concentration so hard they almost hurt, he waved his wand again and muttered "Evanesco!" He watched in delight at the snail vanished completely this time...no sign of it anywhere! WOOOOO!
He glanced over at Anna, who was also sitting nearby, and watched as she vanished what seemed to be a dead snail and wrinkled his eyebrows. "Erm--you do know your snail was dead, right?" he asked. What a silly question...of course she knew! She had to have known.
Anna thought about getting up and getting another creature, but she'd already vanished a mouse, a frog, and a snail. There were gummy worms available, but those might be a bit dangerous for Anna to tempt. After all, there would be that issue of her struggling to not eat the poor thing before she could cast the spell on it. Hmm...wonder if the mouse she'd made vanish was somewhere in the non-being eating one of the gummy worms that had vanished? Did they end up together? What about her snail? Was it dead afterall, or was it somewhere in that other dimension crawling around at .5 miles per hour?
When she became aware of a nearby voice, Anna snapped out of her thoughts and turned to see that Jack dude. At least she had his name down pat now. No more Mack, Pack, Quack or whatever. "Shhhh," she hissed, flailing her right arm a bit. "I
know... I'm just sort of hoping he actually
wasn't dead." Anna smiled at Jack, then sat back to give him some room to accomplish that spell he was working on.
