Ethan glanced at his mannequin for a moment and tilted his head slightly to give it an appraising look. His first thought was to go casual.. maybe cowboy boots would work with this? Hmm.. No, something more formal would suit his taste better in terms of footwear. Turning back to Vickers, he nodded to himself in confirmation and said, "The formal type, I think.. Just plain leather, no embellishments or anything." Formal yes, fancy no.
Furrowing his brow, he turned his attention to Vickers' outfit as he spoke. School shoes..? Why would he want another pair if he already had some? But if that was what he wanted.. Oh, but he did decide on loafers and Ethan happily agreed. That's what he thought would look best, anyway. Nodding, he said, "Yeah.. sure.. that's what I was thinking too. Something to match the brown in the collar. At least I'll try.." He gave the boy a tentative grin. The 16 year old wasn't the best at Transfiguration, but hopefully he could create what the other boy wanted.
"So, um.. do you want to try first?" Ethan gestured down at the pair of paper plates he was still standing on. He knew this was an easier spell that the two previous, but he was sure he could still learn a tip or two from the older boy if he watched him first.
"Formal, plain leather boots. Got it." Vickers nodded his head firmly, understanding Ethan's request. It should be something like formal shoes he usually wears with his tux but boot like right? How hard can it be?
"Yeah sure I can go ahead.... " he replied as he took hold of his wand
"just.... give me a minute..." he murmured as he stepped aside to practice on the wand stroke and the incantation a few times. He did manage to create shoes when the spell was taught in class, but like today where his goal was something simple like leather shoes, he ended up creating sneakers.
But he knew all he really needed was to focus and to keep the idea in the for front of his mind. Leather boots, thats what Ethan needs.
"Okay here we go..." he finally murmured as he turned his attention back to his fellow Claw. Glancing between the Ethan's mannequin and the paper plates beneath the boy's feet he squinted his eyes and tried to visualize those plates wrapping around Ethan's feet and turning into boots. Leather boots dont forget.
With a few practice wandstrokes Vickers finally bent down to tap the edge of the paper plates, uttering
"Pedestis!" As the paper plates did their usual fluttering beneath Ethan's weight Vickers was almost glaring as the spell went about its work. NOT sneakers, NOT paper shoes... boots... leather boo--
Brows go up as his lips presses together in surprise. Suffice it to say he did better than conjuring paper sneakers.... But
"Well..... you said leather boots right? I dont think anybody would ever question the authenticity of that just by looking at it. If anything they'd likely question him about missing reptiles....
