While different in ways, a good majority had tinkered around the same ideas leading to this conclusion,"Quite a number of you had gotten the gist of reasons relating to Hygene and Gentle nature." Well, time to start off. "A common theory is on the higher levels of testosterone in men, which typically lead to aggression if high enough. That in effect counters against the Unicorn's own gentle nature leaving men untrustworthy automatically." However, "When it actuality it's the texture of our own skin." How so? "Unicorns are more trusting of softer skin contact. Typically women do have softer skin. Unicorn foals while sensitive are not as selective because of their need for any form of contact. But as you all already know, skin doesn't always stay soft on everyone as we age."

"Often in beauty products geared towards women, the desire to maintain soft and wrinkle-free skin is more prominent compared to men. Therefore the ingredients found in beauty products are collected from vegetation and even some from parts of Unicorns themselves." So that meant, "What attracts Unicorns isn't just on hygene but on the familiar ingredients they sense. Compared to Men's own beauty products, the ladies have a higher concentration. On top of softer skin contact, this is why they find girls more trusting." The parcel still in his arm, Professor Thompson finally decided to lay it out to open it, "So today we will all be using these lotions. The strong fruity smell is from it consisting high levels of a very common ingredient in beauty potions. Unicorn dung and passion fruits." There you have it.

"It was important that you all bathed prior to arriving so any minerals wouldn't conflict with them." Now the instructions, "Everyone take one. Ladies, you'll only have to add some of the lotion to your hands and wrists. Gentlemen, make sure to get your hands and around your neck." The Professor took off his own gloves to unravel the cap on one of the bottles. His happened to be a rather strong flavour of peaches. Using two of his fingers to dab the smooth purple texture under his chin before rubbing it into the front of his neck. Then taking a small helping to rub into his hands. "Once you're done we can head out."

Professor Thompson made sure to wait until just about everyone had done so. Didn't want any of them to miss out on the majestic beauties of Unicorns. So with that he lead them out past the clearing and original garden where those stubborn Gnomes once were. The trek didn't take long, as they were led to a section of the forest. The Permitable one of course. "Alright, for now keep your voice low." Eventually, they could see why as they came across a herd of Unicorns of all sizes and colours. As they were surrounding the pond of drinking water. Everyone could see this through the temporarily open hedges. "Alright. So we don't end up scaring them, we'll go one at a time to introduce ourselves to one of them. " So how are they to do that now?

"Ladies, since you have the proper advantage you each can simply walk up to a Unicorn. Slowly of course. Running towards them will only spook them. The smell of the lotion will get them to be curious on the scent. Once they notice you are to remain still. Offer out your hand with the palm facing towards them so they can smell it proper."

Now then, "With gentlemen some might try to nibble on one of your fingers. Try not to panic, since this is just them testing your reaction. If you panic or react wildly they won't take kindly of that and move away from you. So you'll have to try again with a different one." But why, "The lotion is merely a mask to get them to be willing to approach you. It will not deter them from recognizing your personality. Though you are welcome to add more on you to help increase their interest." They just might to bathe again after if they don't want to smell so strongly of fruits anymore. "Once they have given your palm a lick you're free to pet and get acquainted with them."

"Like so," With that the Professor went through the hedges. Appearance wise, he was definitely the more opposing figure to them with his age and height. He casually walked toward the pond, his arms resting against his sides before stopping. One of the unicorns, a silver one, noticed him. Seeing Professor Thompson not move a muscle peaked the silver one's interest even more.

Ignoring the pure white Unicorn's soft huffing in possible discouragement the silver one walked up to him. The only thing that moved of the Professor was his hand as he faced the palm of it towards it, but not raising it yet. The Unicorn then circled around the Professor smelling him as he gradually raised the palm out as if to feed it. That was when the silver Unicorn paid attention to the palm. Sniffing it for some time before giving it a sharp bite.

Javier didn't flinch. He had endured worse bites from creatures in his studying years. Him not moving or making any loud noise in reaction to it, made the Unicorn lick the hand particularly where he was bitten, stopping the blood and healing it. Now Professor Thompson was petting the silver Unicorn. Turning his head to look at the students while doing so you knew what it meant. It was time to meet the Unicorns.

OOC:As instructed you are to get acquainted with the Unicorn in three labeled posts.

Ladies are to do the following:

- Approach a Unicorn of any age.
- Remain still once notice and not move until they're close enough.
- Hold out the palm of hand towards them.
- Allow them to sniff it for their preference in length of time.
- Once the palm is licked, you're free to pet and talk with them.

Gentlemen are to do the following above mentioned with the few exceptions:

- Keep away from the Unicorns with golden foals.
- Remain still and only gradually raise palm whilst they circle around towards the back of you.
- If they nibble/bite, try not to scream. They'll lick the palm all better after if you remain in control.
