"Looks like a poster, dunnit? How far down can you read without any help?" And because he wasn't going to be a cheater, Mo didn't even consider putting on his glasses for this part. Not that he needed them, but... y'know. They existed. In theory.

"Don't you sort of wonder if they don't stand for something and the poster-makers are laughing at us all. Like... E, F, P, T, O, Z... that could totally be an anagram or an acrostic." Maybe he was overthinking it because the bottom line was totally blurry.


Yeah, yeah. This was all going very fine and well, the reading of the poster and such, and Ascanius' ego was inflating by the minute. It was all going so very well for him because he had awesome eyesight. Let's be real, how could these eyes NOT be anything short of perfect?

But on the second to last line of reading, he heard someone approach him and Ascanius smirked. Well, well, well. If it wasn't Marcus. "I can ready the whole ruddy thing," he remarked with pride. Yeah, this face was not just for show. It had practical application as well.

Blink. Sigh. Jeez. "No," he said with a bored expression, "I don't think it stands for anything." He was more then welcome to try though, if he wanted.

While Marcus figured that out, he drew out his wand and said, "Is there a wand movement for this spell?" Ascanius hadn't been paying attention. Obviously. That was what the point loss was for. And then Ascanius started to repeat over and over in his head Oculo Focalis, Oculo Focalis, Oculo Focalis.
