Text Cut: Tobes

Soph took Tobes' hand in hers as soon as they joined back up together, even though they had a very short walk over to the line for the spinning chair part of the exhibit, digging out her own pamphlet from her bag with her free hand. She peeked at the Astronaut Training's summary just as Toby explained, and she watched him elaborate on it with an admiring grin on her face. "That's cool."

But it WASN'T for Soph. As soon as she said it, she remembered how less than a half hour ago she had felt a bit dizzy from the portkey - she couldn't even imagine what the spinning chair would do to her, that had to be WAY worse, didn't it? And she didn't want to embarrass herself in front of her classmates and Muggles alike - just in case she WOULD get sick from the spinning chair, Soph was already leaning toward sitting this one out.

And they were up next. Oop. "...You should go ahead. It'll be fun. Try not to throw up, okay?" She gave him a nudge of encouragement and ever-so caaaasually moved to step out of line. Better to be safe this time around and not risk feeling sick the whole trip than get sick and find out she wasn't astronaut material, hm? Tobes could tell her all about how it felt anyway.

She gave him a BIG OL' THUMBS UP. YOU GO BEST FRIEND.

Although, it made the harness more uncomfortable when he swung around like that, so he stopped that pretty sharpish. But it didn't matter, 'cause it looked like their time was up. Toby looked down when he heard the voices call up to them, gave a nod, and held onto that top rung whilst they did their muggle magic to re-gravity-fy them or whatever. Then he was climbing back down the ladder properly and tugging his way out of the harness to make way for the next person. As he left the area, Toby took off his helmet and set it down before rejoining Soph. "Sure," he said with a nod, following her over to it. "I was looking at the pamphlet and stuff earlier. Apparently it recreates the feeling of a capsule spinning out of control. Guess they have to know who's got the stomach for something like that before sending them up there." Literally. And it LOOKED like there wasn't anyone waiting right now, though there was someone spinning around in there right now. Toby looked at Sophie while they stood there, waiting to go next. "D'you wanna go first, or me?"
