Looking over to the closest horse, Cassia squinted at it for a sec. Granian, this one was. "This one looks decent, no?" She said turning to Toby. Or did he prefer another one, she'd be totes okay with that.

"So, who's gonna do what? " She asked while trying to decide which part she preferred. And the problem was that both parts seemed fun. Well, it wasn't really a problem, quite the opposite but in choice making that might be a bit hard. "I don't really mind either," she said patting the Granian carefully. Pity they couldn't fly them.
Toby supposed that Thompson was petting a thestral or something, because he couldn't actually see anything there whatsoever. He was interested in what one of those things must look like in real life, but absolutely did not want to find out at all ever ever ever. He'd settle for drawings, thanks.

But yes. The actual task. Time to get on with that. Toby turned to look at Cassia, grinned and nodded. The Granian seemed fine to him.

"Uhhh... can I drive? I reckon I'd be better at that part." Well, it was more to do with the fact that Toby preferred physical tasks, but that was also a contributing factor.

But first, they needed a bridle. Whilst Cassia pet the horse, Toby made sure he had one of the right size and also joined in the petting. Hey horsey, heyyyyy. Friend? Friend.

"Okay, I'll try putting on the bridle, and then you can check it and redo the charm if I miss a part or it's not holding, yeah?" He didn't really wait for an answer, 'cause this was technically a RACE after all (though it wasn't like he minded who won; it was just that the aim seemed to be to do this quickly AND efficiently).

The Hufflepuff drew out his wand, gave one last reassuring pat to the Granian, and started the spell.

"Fixate!" Toby traced his wand in exactly the places they'd been told to, stretching up on his tiptoes to make sure he was reaching the right areas because he was still pretty darn short for his age and it was a bit of a struggle to be exact. And then........... there was the bridle. It looked pretty well placed, but he wasn't sure about how secure it was, so he looked at Cassia to see if she wanted to check it, and began to ready himself for the actual racing bit.
