Lilie's jaw dropped as Ben spoke back to Professor Sinnenodel. Was he being [i]sarcastic[/i]? To another [i]count[/i]? Was that allowed? Ben looked really giddy, too, like he knew exactly what he was saying. Why would he go and make the count angrier like that? She closed her mouth as she gave Ben a disapproving look, but there was no time for apologies or reactions as the professor spoke again. They were starting early, so it was showtime. Whatever anyone had said or done didn't matter anymore, she needed to get her head on straight.

Or she would have, but the spell definitely threw her for a loop. 

She shook her head once or twice, blinking rapidly as she looked around. Well, that spell was something else. She thought she would have been more excited by that kind of magic, but she couldn't say she liked anything that made her feel weird. She shuddered slightly, rubbing her arm to make the cold chill go away. She couldn't really see anything, but then again, that was kind of the point, wasn't it? Oh well, time to focus up. She released Ben's hand as she took in a deep breath, closing her eyes for a second. Every other thought didn't matter right now, all she needed to know was the goal of getting that extra credit and being done before sunrise. She could do this. 

[color=deepskyblue]"Okay, stay close to me,"[/color] Lilie told Ben once she felt ready, taking his hand with her right hand and drawing the symbol in her mind. [color=deepskyblue][i]"Tiltoure."[/i][/color]

Her eyes went black, and the forest seemed to light up in response. The sign was seen clearly, and she squinted at the words. [color=deepskyblue]"That way which vampires' bane does slumber..."[/color] She muttered, taking a glance at the directional symbol before concluding the spell. [color=deepskyblue]"Vampires' bane...the sun sets on the west, but rises in the east, so...east it is?"[/color] She was talking more to herself than to Ben, though she started walking in what she assumed was the right direction.
