Nate glanced at the crying girl again. She was already being attended to by another girl and seemed to be calming down. "Well, it was just an accident I guess."
Students were lingering around, looking like they didn't know where to go. Where was the guide for the newbies? "You guys new? Head for the tower, there should be a teach there to assign you your rooms." He addressed the kid in front of him, but said it loud enough for the others to hear.

He supposed he'd better head for the tower again too; it was more likely that the kid who'd summon the toad would still be in there. If not he could just find a teacher to deal with it instead. He went back over to where Zavi and Elsinare were still hanging out to pick up his backpack first. "Hi again."
they/them || "Forgive me, regent of queer amphibians" - Lt.BGob"Oh, you caught it. Good job." She looked at the creature carefully, even though she wasn't the best informed when it came to toads and failed demonic summons. Finally, she glanced up and saw that only a few students were still practising their spells. "It looks like everyone's heading over to the tower."
I wonder what the room mate situation is this year.
"Thanks. He wasn't really happy about coming along." Somehow Nate was able to hold onto the summon with one hand while slipping his bag on with the other. "I'm about to head over to the tower myself, this guy's summoner might be in there. I want to find out who my roomie is too."
they/them || "Forgive me, regent of queer amphibians" - Lt.BGob"Yeah, sounds like a plan." Zavi looked at the summon. "Hmm, I'd try transforming him into something else, but I don't know much about summons. So I'll do this."
He ripped up some grass and dropped it on the toad. While it was falling he whipped his paint-brush around. As the grass fell it transformed into some bandages that almost mummified the demonic toad.
"There, that should make life a little easier."
You must agree, my plan is sheer elegance in its simplicity! My Tumblr"Woah, that's so cool!" Holding it up to eye level Nate could see the bandages had wrapped tightly, but not painfully, around the toad. "Now that is a spell I'd like to learn." If he was going to try and learn some healing spells it'd probably be useful to know too. He made a mental note to look into the school's transformation class.
Eventually he turned his attention back to the tower. "You two want to come with?"

Sammy rummaged through her bag for her emergency box of tissues. "Here," she said gently, passing one to Gretchen, "You need it more than I do."
