Wait...what?! "UGH!" she said again. He'd known she'd needed help carrying her stupid telescope back down, yet he'd left anyway. Some brother he was...

Sophie just rolled her and eyes and turned back around, just in time to knock her quill to the ground and watch it roll away. "Perfect," she mumbled, feeling even worse. This whole trip, right from the very beginning, had been one big annoying ordeal.

She would have allowed herself to get really annoyed had she not remembered that she still needed to do the spell to get credit for this whole activity. HA--look at that! An opportunity just presented itself, and she didn't even have to work hard for it at all.

She did a quick check to make sure the magical magnifying glass was in place, and she aimed it toward the dark place her quill had rolled off to. "Solis Focalis!" she said, jabbing forward. Sunlight filled the area, and her quill became visible long enough for her to scoop it up. With that, her work was done. She packed up her belongings and began the journey back down the dungeons.
