[This is all a very overwhelming experience for a boy with a relatively normal life. Even his ability to go with the flow is being compromised by the sheer intensity of this particular flow... at least internally. Externally, he follows everyone else and listens attentively.
His mood is not at all helped by the fact that when he went to collect his things from his locker, they included a violin packed safely in a carrying case. While the rest of his things fit easily enough in a bag, a violin case is very conspicuous. He's tempted to just leave it behind, but reluctantly opts to take it with him. He doesn't want to seem rude or ungrateful to people who are just trying to help. And it would be a waste of a perfectly good instrument.
Still, he is sullenly ignoring it on the ride, focusing instead steadfastly on his new phone and browsing the music streaming options with his earbuds in place. He will just politely remove the earbuds if he feels like anyone is giving him their attention.]
...Yes?
ii. PROBLEMS SPRING UP A: The Lesser Banishing of Frost Fairies
[This seemed like an easy enough task at first. Touya has little experience with plants, but the directions are simple. What he didn't expect was the moon rabbits. They're cute! But there are so many moon rabbits! He only has two hands, and he needs to be finding a partner to help him with this anyway!
It can't be helped. He'll just have to try and find a stranger to help him with the ritual while he's still covered in rabbits. It's fine. He will just walk down this unfamiliar street full of unfamiliar people, giving them all a first impression of him helplessly covered in rabbits as he begs for assistance.]
Um... Please help.
[It's hard for a stranger to tell, because Touya is a naturally low-key personality, but he feels pretty flustered right now.]
iii. PROBLEMS SPRING UP C: Spiritual Cleansing
[With the chaos of adjusting to a new world, and with no one he knows around, you don't even have to trick Touya for him to try this friendship-boosting Jasmine-Peach smoothie. He might misunderstand how the magic actually works, but it's fine either way. He is now perfectly happy and even excited to be participating in these meditation and yoga circles. There's so many new people to meet!
Even at his friendliest, Touya isn't particularly talkative, but he is attentive, and if someone is looking a little wobbly in their pose, he'll step in to help adjust their limbs for them, seeing nothing wrong with the casual touching. Because they're new friends, after all!]
It's a little more like this, I think. These can get pretty difficult, can't they?
