Sierra diverted her attention back to Ella and nodded in agreement when the girl said she wasn't sure about the activity. "Neither am I. Have you figured out what this has to do with crups yet?" she questioned. A second later she added, "Maybe the professor is trying to give us a feel of what it's like to suddenly lose a part of your body. It does take some getting used to."
Feeling Ella pull weight on their tied feet, Sierra did the same, all the while trying to keep herself up and on her feet as much as possible. One big fall to the ground was enough for one day. Or for forever, really. "So..., we just stroll around like this for a while?"
"
I have no idea. Which is why this is so annoying." For someone who loved this subject as much as Ella did, it was a bit of a blow that they weren't actually learning about magical creatures. Although she did admire the professor's creativity for the lesson. Then Sierra made a suggestion and it did make a lot of sense. The poor crup had lost it's tail. "
Probably. But I think we are finding this much harder than the crup." She didn't even know that crups
needed tails. And humans definitely needed both legs. Lost in thought, Ella stumbled suddenly, but didn't fall. Phew, she was getting used to this.
"
I guess so." She shrugged, then glanced at the professor. It was a stupid idea to do that because it made her stumble again. "
Merlin's Beard." She muttered in frustration. "
Are your ankles killing? 'Cause mine are." But she soldiered on, like a good old team player.
Ella took a moment to look at the other students and she was quite surprised. "
Looks like we're in the lead." Everyone else was still tying themselves together. But then again, Ella wasn't sure if this actually was a race.
She hoped so. Because
she they were winning!
