She stopped when Mo commented on wet mud – true wet mud was all evil and stuck to things. She should have remembered that – she had after all jumped into a mud bog as a kid all those years before.
When Mo got all Bossy Mika’s eyebrow raised up…and it stayed there – the spell had dried the remaining mud that was on her face and like a failed beauty routine it had stuck to her eyebrows. Back in a few minutes…sure there wasn’t much she could say. Really, her face was kind of stuck and when she moved to talk or wiggle her eyebrow back into place she felt it cracking and peeling and it wasn’t all that good feeling. She hummed out the sound of approval and just stood there looking around. She was dry and covered in dry mud.
Before he left she tried to say "Please be fast" but it sounded more like "weee-zee mast" she couldn't even tell what she had said...hopefully he understood that it was just the mud talking.
Mo scurried up to the castle to retrieve two of those funny Muggle vacuuming devices, and he returned RATHER quickly, if he did say so himself. And he did. He was saying so himself right now. It was much easier to retrieve the vacuum then to watch mud flaking off of Mika's face like a snake losing his skin.
There were some things a boy never wanted to see, and skin sloughing off a pretty face was one of them. When he returned, Mo tapped the vacuum and said, "
Vacavus" without even looking at Mika's face. Nope. Not going to do it. Nightmares.
How had she gotten so MUDDY, anyway? Did she face plant on one of those failed cartwheels? "I"m just going to... try your sleeve here first, okay?" He poked the vacuum hose at her sleeve and sucked up as much of the crumbling dried mud as possible.
