Right now he just hugged her back before following her over to the piano bench and sitting right where he was directed.

Looking between the piano and the sheet music, both of which he recognised very well (though maybe not well enough to actually read the music) as his grandmother was very into music and all, Toby nodded along as Soph spoke.

"I don't know about crying," he quickly interjected, giving Soph a little LOOK followed by a smile, and then going back to looking down at the keys. "But okay. Let's hear-..." It wasn't until he properly looked at the sheet music, then, that Toby realised what the song WAS. And yes. Yes he did recognise it. One of those way way waaaaaaaaaaaay old songs that his grandma liked to sing sometimes. It was actually a song she would sing with his grandfather, back when he was alive, and the pair slow dance around the kitchen to as Toby looked on. He had very happy feelings connected to that tune, and smiled a little wider now. "-... it." An enthusiastic nod; yes, please play it.

He settled where he sat, stayed quiet, and listened as Soph played, automatically reciting the lyrics in his head. At first Toby had thought it would be an awesome song to hear again, especially as Soph was playing it, but as she progressed through the music he found that it was hitting a chord (ha) within him that he'd not been expecting. Feelings were happening, all because of Soph and her beautiful rendition of this beautiful song. Toby glanced from Soph's hands to her face for a moment, and then back again after a second, trying to focus super hard on the actual MUSIC and the PLAYING rather than the emotions he was getting. It started to work, and soon the prickling in the corners of Toby's eyes lessened a little (though he would deny such an occurrence at all, even if it was happy prickling), and he just continued to stare at Soph's hands as she played, staying quite quiet.

As the song began to wind down, Toby broke out into a grin, because this really was filling him up with all kinds of good feelings. He might even forgive her for almost making him cry out here in the open. Hoping that he wasn't about to mess up her playing, Toby slipped an arm around Soph's waist in a kind of half-hug and waited for her to finish the piece. He may also have been humming by this point.
