Before he could get distracted by anybody or anything, Toby held out the potion (still in the hand that wore the bracelet) and began carefully pouring it into the soil that housed his poor, sick plant. He made sure to go slow enough that he could chant the entire galdr before the vial was empty.

"Sowilo sowilo sowilo... u u u u u u u u u... s s s o o o l l l..." As Toby poured and chanted, he caught sight of the runes from his bracelet glowing brightly. He made sure to rotate the plant, too, to cover the soil in a circle around the stem. But he was also careful to keep in mind his focus on the spell and the runes and the idea of HEALING this poor sick plant. "... ju ja ji je jo, us as is es os, j j j e e e r r r a a a, si se su sa su, u u u u u u r r r r r r, s s s s s s s s s..."

He reached the end of the spell just before the last few drops of the potion had been poured, so Toby shook those drops out and just... looked at his plant.

Twelve hours, that was how long the potion USUALLY took, without the runes, and Botros had said about how four or five hours was a beginner level, two was 'fine' and one was good. Being that he was a fifth year, and this was one of his best classes, Toby was hoping for the shortest amount of time possible here. In fact, as soon as he thought of it, Toby became very suddenly and intensely obsessed with the idea that it had to happen quickly. This was probably the best current indicator of knowing how on track he was for that O in Ancient Runes, after all. And he needed to get that O. For reasons.

After checking his watch for a start time, Toby looked up and stared intently at the leaves of his plant. If hope could heal, the plant would already be healthy again. But of course, that wasn't the case.

And so he waited.
