I'm dreaming with my eyes wide open
Andrew nodded, smiling in relief at Justine, happy that she'd understood and not pursued the question any further. That could have been uncomfortable. "Yes, that one's not so bad." He nodded along with her. He knew someone else might have reacted badly at her question, but Andrew had nothing but patience and understanding for Justine, and helping her get a firmer grip on the English language could never be anything but good. "You promise?" he smiled back at her. Having her around to haunt him sure would brighten up his otherwise dull day. In all seriousness though, he obviously preferred having her around ALIVE, and he wasn't about to let her die. Not on his watch.
Justine was so wonderfully sweet and caring, so intelligent and beautiful, and she had been such an amazing friend to him. He was going to find a way to get her out of this mess if it was the last thing he ever did. It's not as if he had some kind of crush on this girl though. Nope. No crush. Not even a little bit. What a ridiculous idea that was. No crush, nope, nope, nope. "What, are you kidding me?" He grinned. "I'm sure you could do these in your sleep." He smirked, gesturing towards some of the more complicated runes. The specific rune he had pointed at was represented by a diamond shape containing three wavy lines. The text underneath the illustration read 'Aguamenti'.
It took him a moment to realize what Justine was talking about. "What fea-" He began, but stopped the moment he realized what they had both forgotten about. "Run like the wind!" He laughed, holding her hand.
