Toby quite enjoyed talking about animals with Ashley. She kept teasing him, but she was also very receptive to the information. When she asked if he had any pets at home, he bobbed his head up and down in a nod, "Ohh, yes...two dogs, a cat, and a turtle.." he listed off casually, "How about y--" Toby froze, watching the frog as it miraculously hopped onto Ashleys shoulder, casuing him to stare at her with large brown saucers for eyes. Much to his surprise, she grabbed the frog that had hopped on her shoulder, but it left a gross dirt stain on the bright, clean fabric. It seemed like she had control of the situation, before she slipped... Toby flailed his arms out to help catch her, but that didn't really help with his own footing, so he was a wobbly mess trying to dodge the fall himself. Unfortunately, Ashley wasn't so lucky... "Oh, God!! Ashlehh!!" he let out an uncontrollable squeal, watching her slip and slide off of the rocks knees first and into the green, mossy water. Toby did a full body shudder and was trying so hard to resist a laugh. It all happened so fast!!
"Are you okay? Don't let him go!" he exclaimed, scrambling to catch his footing on the slippery rocks, reaching to grab the container to store the frogs in before delivering them for their demise. "Don't worry, just for that...we're gon' get him and his entire family out of vengeance." Toby announced darkly, in some sort of uncharacteristic 'thug life' tone, trying to somehow keep the situation light. Toby quickly grabbed the large glass container to toss the frog in and extended it toward the blonde. "Toss the bugger in, he's done for." he told her, crouching down on the rocks. Toby put too much weight on one foot exposed to the slimy moss, he slowly sank into the water, exposing his entire pant leg and the side of his shirt to the stinky water.

Talking to Toby was easy. He was so enthusiastic and excited about everything that she didn’t feel bad asking her questions, mostly because she knew he didn’t mind. No, it was more than that. She knew that he liked talking in general (either that or he was a rambler) so she figured giving him a topic would be something that he would definitely be interested in. Obviously, her asking about his pets was a good idea. He named off all of his pets and then started asking her a question before he froze, staring at her. Ashley didn’t need to ask why. She could feel the nasty frog sitting there. She heard Toby’s squeal as the next few events unfolded, ending with her soaking wet in the pond, angrily clutching the stupid frog. She looked up at him with a grimace on her face. ”Tobyyyy,” she whined, ”Does this look as bad as I think it does?” Sure, Ashley was referring to the situation, but she was also just referring to herself. She glared at the offending dog as she nodded her head to answer Toby. ”I’m fine. Just soaked and annoyed.” Ashley gave a dark chuckle, ”And don’t you worry. This little guy isn’t going anywhere.” She glanced up, a little surprised when she heard Toby’s dark tone. Was he upset in her behalf? Either way, she nodded her head in agreement, still watching the frog to try and make sure he didn’t escape. When Toby told her to toss him in, she looked up and grinned darkly, pushing the frog into the jar and then turning back to the pond, rolling up her sleeves. ”Well Toby, I’m not sure if you were kidding or not but I’m gonna make this worth it and find more frogs and ingredients that we can use, so if you see anything good point me in the right direction.” She was already dirty, might as well make it worth it. tobias charles watkins

Toby was very surprised with how together Ashley was keeping herself after slipping into the gross lake water. He was actually very relieved she wasn't crying or freaking out about it. If one of his sisters were to fall in, they'd be instant tears no doubt about it. They were a bit prissy...besides Claudia being the only one good at the whole quidditch thing. The blond asked if things really looked as bad as they were, and he shook his head in disagreement. "No, noo, you always look nice, Ash!" he reassured her, a laugh behind his voice. "Don't worry, I will help you get the rotten egg smell out!" Toby teased, surprisingly playful in that moment. As Toby clutched the jar and she tossed the frog in, "You heard her, bugger, you messed with the wrong Fontaine." he told the frog, shaking his head at him shamefully behind the glass. He kept the jar close to his side, just in case any more frogs decided to make an appearance. As Ashley asked Toby for more serious guidance, he perked up a bit, glad that she was still down for the game plan. "Oh, yeah, go over to the rocks over in the shallow water...there might be some hiding." he gestured over to where she was standing, before his eye flickered behind her. "Oooh. That kelp right behind you is really handy too!" Toby exclaimed in a geeky excitement, pointing at the kelp, before shaking some water off of the sleeve of his shirt that kept rolling down. "Don't be alarmed if the kelp is slimy." he warned her with a snort.

This was crap. Ashley did not want to be sitting in a dirty, gross pond, but here she found herself, utterly annoyed at the situation. Still, she couldn't stay angry, and she didn't want Toby to think she was blaming him for the situation, so she kept a smile on her face. Surprisingly, smiling about it made things actually feel a little bit better than they were. Toby insisted that she always looked nice and Ashley couldn't help but chuckle at that. Yeah, cause it was possible to look nice when covered in disgusting pond water. She moaned a little bit when he mentioned helping her get the smell out, but couldn't keep up the facade and ended up laughing again. "You'd better," she called back. She heard him talking to the frog and shook her own head, but didn't say anything. She didn't need to talk to the frog some more. She trudged through the water in the direction where Toby told her to go. "Okay, I got this," she called over to him. In the weirdest way, looking for more frogs to capture here was kind of therapeutic. Sure, she already caught the frog that started the problem, but that wasn't the point. Before she got to the place in question, Toby started gushing about some kelp. Laughing, Ashley turned towards it and pulled out her wand so she could cut the stuff. She glanced back at Toby, rolling her eyes. "Seriously? I carried that stupid frog that was covered in slime, dude. Also, this pond in and of itself is slimy. I can handle some kelp." Not wanting to ask for help, she summoned another phial, putting the kelp inside and then offering it back to Toby. "This corner is where the frogs are?" she asked, pointing. tobias charles watkins

When Ashley went into detail about already holding a slimy frog and the pond in itself already being slimy as it was, he shrugged his shoulders with a laugh, "Mmkay, girl power, mate!" he gushed dorkily, giving Ashley an animated face. Hey, just because things didn't go according to plan, didn't mean they couldn't joke and have fun. Truthfully, he was glad he didn't fall all the way in; Ashley took one for their two man team today, and wasn't too phased by it, so jokes were okay...right? As she started over to the direction that he pointed her, he nodded his head at her question, "Definitely. Just...when you tread water over in that direction be very quiet or else you will scare them away....and they will escape, they're very good swimmers, and jumpers, obviously..." he advised, talking more in a whisper than he meant to while giving her direction. His eyes scanned over the rocks where she was heading straight for, "You got this. It's time for some sweet revenge." he cheered her on with a hushed whisper, intently watching her and her technique while approaching the rocks. Toby was ready to jump into the water if there was some sort of ~frenzy, in that case, he'd surely jump in to grab handfuls of frogs if it was worthwhile.

Ashley laughed, rolling her eyes when Toby mentioned girl power, cheering her on. He was such a dork, but it was definitely cute and she appreciated his enthusiasm. She kept on looking around, trying to find more that might be useful in the water. She could tell, just by glancing over at Toby, that he was excited that she was in the water. Of course, she didn't think she was happy to be dirty, but the whole point of this exercise was to see what they could collect for their professor. She could definitely collect more when she was in the water than she could from the outside. She nodded, "Will do," Ashley answered. Sure, Toby's words were kind of obvious, but she didn't mind him reminding her. She knew he didn't mean it rudely. "Oh, I'm getting that revenge," she whispered back, excited at the idea. Ashley moved slowly through the water, moving towards the side where Toby suggested she try. Then she grinned as she saw what awaited her there. "You ready?" she whispered, before pointing her wand at the family of frogs and shouting, "Immobulus!" Ashley laughed in triumph as the frogs froze mid-movement. None of them were going to get away from her. That might be a little vicious, but it was for a good cause ... ingredients and revenge. She grabbed the five frogs and turned, making her way back to Toby. "I don't know where to store these, you'd better have something ready," she warned him. tobias charles watkins

As Ashley slowly closed the distance between herself and the frogs hiding around the rocks, Toby watched with a concentration that couldn't be broken, unintentionally holding his breath in the moment. The blonde stunned the frogs with the freezing charm, and he couldn't help but watch in awe as the frogs floated in the air... wide brown eyes, gaping mouth, and all. Toby wasn't preparing himself for this part because he was too busy watching Ashley in the water. As she called for him to get her something to put the frogs dangling from her arms in, he suddenly sprung to his feet and started reaching for supplies. He rummaged inside the enchanted bag and grabbed an oversized mason jar to throw them into.
Toby rushed over to Ash, extending the jar helpfully, "This is the only other jar I brought...I didn't expect us to find so many. he laughed, before shrugging, "Besides, they're family, let them be together..." he said in a sarcastic, dark jest, continuing the mobster mentality. Toby laughed, looking to the jar and back at Ashley admiringly. "That was brilliant, Ash!!" he gushed dorkily, praisining Ashley in a full blown nerd moment..

It was almost comical, the look on Toby’s face when he saw Ashley walking towards him with a bunch of frogs in her arms. He looked stunned an impressed and she couldn’t help but feel a little bit proud of herself. She’d done more than he expected, though she’d come to realize that when it came to girls- or at least her- Toby didn’t really have particularly high conversations. She’d have to work a bit to prove to him that she wasn’t going to stop being a good worker. She rolled her eyes and then laughed when he mentioned that he only brought one other jar because he didn’t expect them to find so many. “Yeah, you only brought two jars. How could you be such a slacker,” she teased, winking to make sure Toby knew she wasn’t serious. Then again, maybe that wasn’t enough. “I’m just kidding. You did a great job, and I’m sure they’ll be cozy in there together,” she added, stuffing the creatures into the jar he was holding for her. As she put the lid on the jar, Toby told her she was brilliant and she looked over to him and grinned, “Well I had to make this,” she gestured to her now filthy clothes, “worth it, don’t you think? How’d I do?” she quirked an eyebrow at her fellow-classmate, sure he would tell her that she did wonderfully. Then she sighed, “Okay, is there anything else I should grab while I’m still in this water?” Ashley looked around herself curiously before glancing back to Toby. He would definitely know better than she if she was missing something or not. tobias charles watkins

When Ashley teased Toby about only bringing two jars, his face faltered ever so slightly, but he saw that wink. That wink sealed the deal. She was kidding! Nice, he was getting used to this. Toby laughed, "Well, hey, I look like a bloody slacker right now getting you to do all the dirty work..." he joked with a comical grumble, placing both jars of frogs side by side, as well as the phials of moss and kelp. Toby stepped back onto shore and away from any slippery rocks, not wanting to risk falling in any longer. Somehow he managed to keep himself pretty clean.
As Ashley asked him if she should grab anything else, he shook his head, already appearing to be satisfied with their work. They made a good team. "Nope, I think we've got quite the haul today. That was a job well done, lets get you cleaned up." he praised, pulling his wand out and pointing it at the pant leg that got exposed to the grimey water. It was all muddy and soiled. With a fluid swish and flick, "Scourgify" he called out calmly, watching as the grossness disappeared. Toby nodded satisfied, he had always been quite the charms wizz. He looked at her comically, like it was her turn, wand drawn ready for another cleaning spell. His lips tugged upwards into a smirk, "I got you...or, you know...you smell kind of good. I think you can get away with walking around all day with the lake stench if you really want to...." he jested, trying his hand at his own teasing and borderline flirtatious remarks with the blonde girl. Toby was joking around, which showed that he was truly getting more comfortable around his new friend.

The flickers of emotion on his face as he momentarily thought she was serious was hilarious, but Ashley knew better than to comment about it, or even smirk about it. She didn’t want to make her new friend feel self-conscious. She enjoyed his company too much for that. She laughed when he said he looked like slacker and then shrugged her shoulders, “Well I am the one covered in slime … no matter how unwillingly it came about, so I guess people are bound to think that if they see us together right now.” Then again, Ashley honestly had no intention of letting many people see her like this. She cared about her appearance and about how others saw her. For one thing, there was NO way she would let Joe see her like this. She’d never hear the end of it. Ashley tried to hide the fact that she was very relieved when Toby said she was done. Good. She wanted to get out of this pond and the muck and grime and grossness of it all. Before this moment, she hadn’t allowed herself to think about how dirty this water is and how her clothes (and she herself) probably looked like a complete mess. She would melt into a puddle if Eli found her like this, even though she knew he wouldn’t care. Her clothes were heavy, water trailing from her as she exited the pond, watching her friend clean his own pants. At least he knew how to do a decent cleaning spell, though she wasn’t surprised in the slightest. It was obvious that Toby knew what he was doing when it came to magic. He looked at her expectantly. Ashley reached to pull her wand out of her pocket, pausing when he said that he got her, then began to tease her. She smiled sweetly over at him. “Well, since I do smell so good, are you sure you don’t want to take a swim? We could be twins if you wanted …” Ashley trailed off, waiting for the inevitable refusal, then laughed. “Eh, I think I’ll let you take care of this. You can see all the worst spots and it’ll count as payback for you making fun of my filthy state,” she added with a laugh. Ashley held her arms out just a little from her side, closing her eyes. After a second she opened them and squinted at him, “Be careful how you help though, or you might find yourself in a water war,” she warned. Ashley knew some boys were major teases, like her brother. Given this opportunity, Joe would definitely splash her in the face. If Toby did something similar, Ashley would not take it lying down. tobias charles watkins

@ashley | Note: we can totally close this! |
Toby loved how much Ashley could joke around with him. She did tease him a lot, but he knew it was always in good humor. And he really particularly like when she occasionally flirted with him. He wasn't ever sure how to react, but he was starting to catch onto that. Toby wasn't stupid, knew it wasn't in a serious manner, she was just a fun girl. Toby raised his hands when she threatened a water war if he chose to be ornery. "I promise I won't spray you in the face." he said with a straight face, before realizing how funny it sounded. He snorted, raising his wand, and thoughtfully stating in a joking manner. "Your brothers were mean to you, weren't they..." Toby stated, curling over a bit as he started laughing again.. "Just close your eyes.. Scourgify" he called out, raising the wand carefully to remove the grime and slime from Ashley. He tried his best not to get her face. "Alright, good as new, yeah?" he sent Ashley a smile, "Lets deliver these buggers to their demise..mwah ha haa" he laughed evilly like a comic book villain, gesturing his hands toward the frog. Toby honestly didn't have any emotional attachment to the frogs, they were cool animals, but they were all essential for potion making so he learned to keep feelings out of it. And hey, it was for extra credit, so who cares?

Ashley wasn't entirely sure how much she could trust Toby, but she did know that if he squirted her in the face, she'd find some way to make him pay that wouldn't ruin their friendship. "You'd better not, Toby," she said in a low voice, though she smirked at the same time. He started laughing and her expression changed to a frown. "Wait, no. You'd better not be laughing because you're changing your mind." There was a definite tone of worry in her voice, but before half a second passed he was asking if her brothers were mean to her. She shrugged, "My brothers ... really like to tease me ... so I might expect most people to be teasing when they're not." She shrugged her shoulders, then closed her eyes when Toby told her to. With her eyes closed while she waited for him to finish cleaning her clothes, Ashley occupied her mind thinking of potential ideas, just in case he broke his promise. She jumped, squealing softly as the spell hit her, feeling cold. Once it was done she shivered a little before nodding at her friend. "Yeah, all good!" Then Toby was laughing and saying they were taking the frogs to their demise. Ashley looked at them and shook her pointer finger, "You deserve this. Hope your other friends don't think it's a good idea to jump on me when I'm gathering ingredients," she said, snorting as she finished. "Come on Toby, let's do this!" Ashley was feeling surprisingly more excited about this. They'd gathered lots of ingredients and her clothes weren't entirely ruined, so it was a great experience all in all. Besides that, she got to get to know Toby more. Definitely a good thing. --- the end --- tobias charles watkins
