“Yeah you got it” she wasn’t going to tell him he hadn’t. That would be rude. When he said he would have to roll her into the lake she just laughed. “Aw, darn…I was hoping to stay dry today” she laughed and then he offered her his hand. She gave him an apologetic look before taking it – she wasn’t mean clearly she didn’t want him to be covered in mud. “Thanks” she smiled as she took his hand and stood up. When he brought up cartwheels not being her thing she couldn’t agree more – but when he brought up somersaults she just snorted. “But that’s the problem…if you are trying not to get all mud-covered then somersaulting by a lake isn’t a smart idea.” She laughed at the image she had in her head – clean all over the front and muddy in the back – like a mullet but mud style.
“I might try them inside – maybe oooh! It’d be fun to try and do them on the staircase to the boys dorm…so a somersault on a thing that turns into a slide…only thing with my luck I wouldn’t stop and I’d either roll out of a window or into something painful and expensive.” The expensive things seemed like it’d be more of a problem right now – what with the turnstiles at the dorms.
Mika just blushed and smiled when Mo said she wasn’t a damsel – the blush, was more for nerves than anything else. Compliments weren’t her thing they always made her ears go red or her nose, well really her entire face would go red. Today she was lucky only her ears and nose had gone a bit red (normally it would go all clown-nose red). “Oh you.” Alright the flush-faced-ness could have been because of the finger squeezing but she wasn’t going to say anything about it. Nope. She just smiled brightly when she realized he had said she’d tell a dragon where to go – that was the best compliment ever. “Thanks I mean…telling a dragon where to go would come in handy if I were a dragon trainer” she just laughed a bit. That wasn’t what she was planning to be but it was what her little sister had told her to be…but then again Gen had said Wagon Wainer because she was still about two years old.
“Hey! We should go into the lake! Well…I should cause im muddy…mudtastically muddy” she just beamed. “Hey! I have an awesome idea – you know that project for Astronomy class? Cleaning things…do you want to try to black-hole the mud off of my face – wait…no, that could be bad it might suck me in there” she muttered the last bit, “I am just going to go run into the lake” she said with a laugh and turned toward the lake. "should i just run and jump? Or roll...somersaulting in could be fun?" She asked Mo with a laugh.
"Yeah, true," Mo mused as he scrubbed again at his face. He was suddenly not at ALL sure that he trusted Mika to tell him if he properly had mud on his face or not. She might like having a partner in (dirty) crime. He finally gave up once his cheek felt scraped raw.
"We can try your somersaults somewhere else. Or you can," Mo decided as he took back his hand and crossed his arms. Mika got a long look, and then Mo added, "Don't go in the lake. Wet mud is a lot harder to vacuum up than dry mud. If we're going to do this, we have to dry the mud
first and then clean you off."
He gave her a stern look. Bossy!Mo was bossy, and he stepped closer to point his wand at Mika. "So first...
Siccus aerous." The spell dried out the mud on Mika's shoulder and arm until it was light and flaking. "Now then, I have to go get one of the vacuum thingies. Two. I'll get you one. Be back in a few minutes?"
