Eden was suddenly RIPPED from that hug with Toby by none other than stupid Cutty Mordaunt. Stupid Cutty with his stupid...face....that she loved....

She watched his retreating figure and sighed. She didn't want to speak to him right now. Or see him. It made her too sad. She just bit her lip and looked over at Toby..."Sorry..." she said softly, apologizing. Even though Toby said he loved her hugs...hmph. HMPH.

Of course Cutty would ruin Eden's good mood. It was quite his style, these days.

She heard Bellaire's voice and...well. This seemed like fun. Eden for once wasn't feeling unconfident in her abilities and thought that if she could not think about Cutty for five minutes she might be good at this, depending. She wasn't sure her problem solving skills were up to par. Well, she would find out quite soon. She turned to Toby, though.."Do you want to stick together?" she asked him quietly. She didn't want Cutty to hear and invite himself into their posse. She did NOT want to help him right now. Cutty could fend for himself for all she cared.

...And now they were being attacked by LOCUSTS. WOW. Wow. MERLIN'S PANTS. She covered her face instantly and SQUEALED in distaste--MERLIN. These things were worse than the things she had to feed her snakes---if only Drago were here. He would be in snakey Heaven. FREE BUFFET.

Wait.

WAIT A MINUTE.

Eden had an idea--"SERPENSORTIA!" she cried, pointing her wand to her side, a snake shooting out from the end of it. Not a venomous one, either. Eden made sure to think of a NICE snake breed...with all the locusts flying around, she watched the snake get in position...please be a hungry snake--

"Wait--" she looked over at Toby. "Are there any other animals we could conjure? That eat these guys? Snakes might take forever." No matter how cool they were, snakes were sloooooow eaters.
