Text Cut: Tobias, responsible plant care-giver

Cutty noted that the boy was speaking a little faster. He recognized this tone. His mother had adopted it every now and again whenever Cutty was doing something right in the wrong way and required further explanation. The firstie put away his tail-twig trimmers and took out his wand instead. The peculiar pronunciation of that spell made him snort a little. But oh, yes! This was a spell he could use even apart from Herbology. Those tail-twig clippers were not a lightweight item in his school bag.

Cutty mimicked the karate-chop type wand motion and quietly repeated the incantation to himself. He gave the older kid a smile and a nod as he turned to get back to work. This kid was dead useful. He would be keeping him around. Getting back to the flowering bush, Cutty raised and fell his wand against some leaves that appeared to be browning and drying out. "Flipnipsnibbit!" No. Pretend he didn't say that. "Flipnsnipwitit!" He said more slowly and clearly as he repeated the wand motion. To his surprise it was an incredibly cooperative spell, and the brown detached itself from the rest of the healthy plant.

"So, erhm, are you Bentley's favourite student like?" He asked, wondering outloud. "And it's...something with a T, right?" He thought he'd heard the kids name being said in a class before.

"So, I'm just gonna trim some of these dead bits away, 'kay?" the Hufflepuff practically murmured. But he wasn't talking to the other boy, oh no. He was addressing the shrubbery. Tobias already knew which parts of the bush he needed to trim off, and instantly reached over for one of those parts. "Flipnsnipwitit," he cast as he aimed his wand carefully at the small connecting branch and moved his wand kinda like a karate chop. The dead piece of shrub came off in his hand, and Tobias looked to see how the other boy was doing. At first, Toby nodded to himself and turned back to his own plant, but quickly turned back again. Was that a... blossom? Like, a totally healthy one? And Tobias instantly recognised THAT instrument as- "Tail-Twig Clippers?" Tobias' voice escaped him in a squeak and he shuffled a bit closer on his knees, eager to help some more. Though whether he saw himself as helping the boy or the bush, Toby didn't know. "Um... there's a spell you can use to do that, if you wanna learn it? It's super neat, look," the boy pointed out, speaking a little faster than before. "See... if you find a dead part of the plant, like that leaf you have, you just kinda slash your wand where you wanna cut it off and say 'Flipnsnipwitit.'" As Tobias had spoken, he had indeed cast the spell on his own shrub, and turned back to the other boy with an encouraging smile. "It's... really good for the plants." Good for them in the way that Tail-Twig Clippers were not. Cutty noted that the boy was speaking a little faster. He recognized this tone.
