Skin. This was about skin.

Toby looked from Thompson down to the palms of his own hands before he rubbed them together distractedly. Were they not soft? He'd never really noticed before. The professor was going on about beauty products and ingredients but in all honestly Toby had almost completely zoned out by this point, distracted by looking at his hands.

But then his attention was grabbed again, by Thompson mentioning the ingredients of some lotion he'd brought with him. That he wanted them to apply. Lotion made with unicorn dung.

Great.

Still, it needed to be done. Toby retrieved a bottle of the lotion and, trying not to focus on what it was made of, started applying it to his hands and... neck. When it was time to head out, Toby waved goodbye to Lala and followed the group to the unicorns. Once they were there Toby couldn't help but staaaare at them, 'cause they were just so beautiful. But still he tried super hard to listen to Thompson's instructions, because obviously they were gonna be pretty important.

When it was his turn, Toby moved forward into the area and looked around him for a possible unicorn to befriend. He wasn't really scared of those sharp, brutal looking horns on their heads, but he was certainly mindful of the fact that he was a boy in the territory of creatures who tended not to like boys at all. Not for the first time in his life, Toby felt a surge of gratitude for his small frame. Sure, he was no girl, but he definitely couldn't be considered imposing.

Nearby there stood an adult, pure white unicorn that seemed to almost shine. It was watching him curiously, so Toby stood dead still. Then, eventually, it began to step towards him. Toby only watched and waited and made sure not to move a muscle.

Which... was incredibly difficult. He needed to fidget. Needed to. The energy was already building and suppressing it was almost painful and he wanted to move, even just his fingers. But that didn't seem like a good idea and Tobias tried so very hard to not give in. He was still. He was a statue.
