WHY WAS HER HORSE LEAVING AND GOING INTO THE LAKE?! She wished her elbows were weapons she could USE NOW. She glanced over at Noah to see if he was having any better luck. Because NOW she was going to have to go wading into the murkiness of the Black Lake to chase after her wooden horse.

"Listen here, Fred, I really am NOT TRYING TO HURT YOU," she said as she shed her robe...no need getting the bottoms wet. She even rolled her sleeves, giving the floating bridle a break before casting FIXATE again and getting even CLOSER to the horse. "Come on now...easy does it..." she muttered, watching as other horses entered the lake, too. She clenched her teeth. Why hadn't Headmaster Trent told them to wear bathing suits to class today? They were going to get.....well, soaked.

She was getting more apt at the spell, at least, and as she waded into the water, about ankle deep, she could SEE that her bridle was SO CLOSE to being attached to her horse. She was muuuuuch closer to her horse than before.

ALMOST THERE ABOLI.
