Toby may have been unobservant to almost everything ninety-nine percent of the time, but he totally did see that, Sophie Brown. Those tears. And even if he hadn't, he couldn't have missed her brushing them away.

When she finally spoke, Toby looked across at his person, his Ravenclaw, his best friend... and gigglesnorted.

"You nerd," he said softly, he reached over, brushed away whatever remained of the tears on her face with the pad of his thumb, and grinned. "Only you would manage to make yourself cry while trying to make me cry." He was kidding around, but that didn't mean he wasn't incredibly touched. It was just... well, if he went too heartfelt here, he might actually start crying, and it was much easier to joke around all that stuff. He didn't doubt that Soph was well aware of that, but shhhhh. "I loved it. I did. And you played it beautifully." He leaned across and gave her a quick kiss on the cheek; quick, because Airey would probably not be a fan of them even doing that, and he didn't want to risk upsetting the dude if he walked in. "Thank you, Soph."

It was tricky, sitting here, because Toby was so freaking fidgety, and with a piano RIGHT THERE IN FRONT OF HIM, it probably wasn't surprising when, after a brief pause wherein he checked out the sheet music again, he started randomly tinkering on the keys (not that he knew how to play this thing, even after his grandmother's countless patient attempts at trying to teach him). Just for something to do. He was still paying attention to Soph too, okay? Okay.
