Looks like she had been right in assuming that Lux had an issue with heights. AJ squeezed her friends hand.
"I'll get us over this obstacle." Forgetting that this was a race and forgetting that she wanted to be first; AJ gathered her thoughts on how to best help a friend.
"I'll fix it to where you don't even have to look down." Hopefully. No need to let Lux know that she wasn't 100% confident on how she was going to handle the situation.
"Great." If Lux was in agreement it must mean that she had come up with the perfect plan. All she had to do was put it into action.
"Sounds good to me." AJ waited for her friend to give them some light, and she got straight to work. This would give them an advantage over the others. They didn't need to take a full out break. They weren't seventy.
"Gemino." No extra boards were produced. Good grief. She was trying to keep her partners spirits lifted and she couldn't get the freaking spell to work.
"Gemino!" Better. Much better. The lion repeated the spell over and over until all of the missing spots had boards.
Help with the bug bites? AJ eagerly started to apply some all of her itching spots.
"I think you are right." Instantly she was feeling better, and this just gave her an extra burst of energy.
Holding out of her for Lux to take AJ egged her on.
"All you have to do is walk straight and don't look down. Just picture yourself walking through the jungle like normal." AJ gave her an encouraging smile.
"I'll lead you over to safety."
