Give Toby one thing... he was certainly a light traveler. His quick trip to the Summer Snow apartment ended with him fetching a single duffle bag's worth of belongings. It was all he needed, evidently.
Of course, said trip also consisted of a conversation with Jen and Darien. They too had experienced the same phenomenon as Toby and Chrys, though unlike the duo, they were as of yet uncertain whose powers they had received. With that said, and in mutual understanding, Toby departed to grant his friends the time and space they needed to experiment and to spend the days to come with Chrys. In due time, they would train each other to use their swapped powers.
For now, though, Toby needed to rest and clear his mind.
As they approached Chrys's home, Toby adjusted the bag slung over his shoulder and murmured, "So... now that it's clear that we're not the only ones, things are gonna be... a little crazier than usual, huh?"

Chrys sighed and nodded as she walked on to the porch of her house. "I fear the chaos has just begun," she offered while unlocking the door. "Also welcome to my home. It's small and kinda messy but it's good for what I bought it."
Chrys opened the door to the house. Toby could see spell tags and opened books on a coffee table. Each wall held a different mural seeming to depict single elemental dragon like beings doing different jobs. "Forgive the mess... I kinda left in a hurry this morning..." she offered as she removed her coat and hung it on the back of the door.

"Oh, no worries," Toby mused, a small smile on his face as he looked around. "My one roommate in the valley isn't exactly the tidiest guy around. I'm used to it."
He set his duffle bag down on the floor, giving his shoulder a break as he continued to circle around the living room and observe the décor. "It's nice. A nice place."

"Thanks. I did the painting myself. From memory of my time with Elder Star and Jar'rak," she offered with a smile. "Now where do you wish to sleep?"
HE could plainly see a blue couch in the living room along with an overstuffed chair and a TV on top of a bookcase. The main part of the house looked almost like a single room with two doors off to the left. Behind the couch area was a small dining table with a book of notes on Praen'tos and said table had 4 chairs. A small kitchen was on the far end of the house.

"Wow. Cool." Toby smiled and nodded at the murals. Having taken in all there was to see, he gave the couch a gentle nudge with his foot and replied, "Hm... Well... Unless you got a spare room, I'm fine on the couch."

"Bathroom is the door closest to the kitchen and the one I'm leaning on is my bedroom. The couch is a fold out," she offered.

"Fair enough," Toby mused before plopping down on the couch and letting out a sigh. He had to flinch slightly at the belt buckle wedged against his torso; he wasn't particularly used to belts.
Pushing that aside, he promptly kicked off his shoes and continued, "So, uh... Whatcha wanna do first?"

"You can take the belt off for now," Chrys offered as she pushed off the door. "I can make us something to eat then we can try to teach each other?" It was one of the ideas she had at the time. "Or we can screw around today and just watch movies and play video games."

Toby chuckled once as he slipped the belt off and stared at it for a moment. "I'd be down to just goof off for the night. Play some movies, watch some games... Or I mean, uh...! Y-You know what I mean... Just... screwing around... Uhhh..."
Just... shut up, Toby muttered internally.

Chrys gave a small smile as she chuckled. "Want some drinks and snacks then? I've got some sodas, milk, water, and I think some fruit punch," she offered to her babbling boyfriend. "And goofing off sounds great."

"Yeah, I could eat," Toby replied, slinging the belt over the arm of the couch and reaching out towards his bag. He paused for a moment, realizing that he couldn't sweep it his way with shadows and opting to simply lean over and grab it like a normal person. Getting over that brief stint of chagrin, he smiled and continued, "I'll have a Dr. Pepper if you have any."

Chrys chuckled as she looked over to her boyfriend as he tried to use the shadows to bring his bag to him. She gave a small smile as she went to the fridge and opened it. I think I could do that, she thought as she concentrated on a Dr. Pepper and a root beer. Two small tendrils each gripped the cans and brought them to her.
"I think I just got something to work~!" she offered over her shoulder as she held the cans and a tendril shut the door for her. "What type of snacks or food would you like?" Chryss seemed proud of herself.

"Hm?" Toby turned around, unable to see what exactly Chrys was doing at that angle but nonetheless smiling with encouragement. "Oh, um... Not sure. Whatcha got? Any, uh... Any tortilla chips?"

"Yes. Queso or salsa?" Chrys asked as a tendril of shadow pulled an unopened bag of chips from her cupboard and another went for the mentioned condiments in the fridge. If Toby was to look back, he would see Chrys standing by the island with two tendrils coming from her shadow.

"Oh...!" Toby leaned over the back of the couch as he watched Chrys's shadow at work, his expression somewhere between baffled and impressed. "Er, um... Queso's good."
He smirked shyly and rubbed his neck. "Eheh... Definitely got it under control faster than I did, lemme tell ya. Just... gotta remain conscious of what your shadow's doing at all times when in use."
