Hehe.
"Oh, and I just realized... Avis!" Gold grinned at her little trick, as birds flew out of the tip of her wand, a little bigger than last time, though not more in quantity. Four or five-ish. She didn't actually count, to be honest. Lowering her wand, Gold watched their progress.
Is this how Professor Truebridge feels when he teaches us? It was a strange feeling, a chunk of disappointment when things didn't work out, a big burst of happiness when whoever you were helping out, succeeded. Gold hoped the birds would be eggs, soon.
Because that would mean Ellie = successful with the spell.
Mmm.
Captain? Well that was new. She was used to
saying captain. To Nia, you know. But no one ever called her captain. She felt like a sailboat captain! Arg, Matey!
She just realized what? Oh! Birds!
"Revertoscutum!" Ellie said as quickly as the tongue-twisty type word would come out without being all scrambled and wrong. And there went her pretty shield! And, with a slight twinge of guilt in Ellie's tummy, eggs were falling just short of where she stood. One fell and cracked open on her shoe.
Frowning, she looked down at it. Poor birdie. SIGH.
