 be curious, not judgmental
Now that they were about three-fourths of the way to the other side of the lake and they were STILL out in front, Becca let herself glance around again. There were... quite a few ships gaining on them! "Miss Professor Lainey?" Becca looked down at the woman who was oh-so comfortably lounging in her chair. "Would you mind, uh, supplying more air to this sail so we can go faster? Or something?"
But then, upon closer inspection, Becca realized who they were. There was that Simon kid still going strong, and then there was Jacob who was gradually speeding up, but there was that one Slytherin boy... the Greenwood brother who had been so lovely to her! Except he didn't look so much like he was going to just let them win today. "Or, would you mind doing something about them?" They looked dangerous. And ship RSVP was SO CLOSE to winning! She concentrated all her energy on her hot air charm, trying to send as much windspeed into the sail as she could. Go faster, raft! Goooo!
