"Have fun trying to lose, Rex." She giggled.

"Its important to know what it feels like to lose, to have that chance to use hindsight and think about what might have worked better." Cela chattered a bit, explaining her point of view. She knew very well what it was like to lose herself, whether or not anyone would believe it of her now.
"As for us older students? Well winning is a kind of learning too you know? If its an unfair duel then knowing what it feels like to win it and being able to think back on how you did it, its important. Maybe it doesn't feel good but its still important to know what it feels like and to know whether or not you have it in you to be merciless." Her uncle always did say that mercy was a weakness. Cela herself thought it was a strength but it was still something she was able to put to one side at times. Expression musing, Cela went back to glancing around the room to see if anyone needed help. That and thinking about coupons.

She drained the last bits of water from her glass, wishing she knew how to make it dissapear. That would be impressive. But of course, she didn't know how to do that yet. She got up, wobbling a lot in the process, but determined to try again. She turned to Sarah, hoping she wouldn't leave Cela left out, and asked, "Want to try again?"
She wouldn't mind trying again? Awwww.Sarah could have hugged her then, for trying again was always a good thing.Getting back up on the horse and all that.Yeah.She didn't though, in case the poor girl thought she was mad.Instead she extended a hand to help her up.
"If you think you can carry on without feeling any ill effects, I'm willing," she smiled.
Ooooh Cela was talking.A speech it seemed.Sarah nodded along as her fellow Prefect looked over to her.She knew the Ravenclaw was right, but Sarah just didn't think she was the merciless type.
"Yeah, I know what you mean," she smiled, adding a shrug.
"I guess that is the message Professor Duskurk is trying to convey to us with this lesson.I'm not sure duelling will ever come naturally to me, though," she sighed.No, probably not.
Holding Keeley's arm as she stood up, Sarah tilted her head with a smile.
"I'd love to, but you can go first this time," she winked, taking her wand back out, ready for the next go.
