Those lyrics... yeah. Yeah, he COULD see how Soph would totally read that as applying to them, and Toby smiled a little more as he followed her finger pointing at the words. He didn't read them though, as Soph had that covered, and he knew them well enough to remember.
"Well, y'know. I'll always be your clown. And I'll always be there for you when you're scared, which, y'know, totally happens more often than you admit. Pretty sure you're still scared of Thompson. Which, by the way, is hilarious." Just so she knew, ehehe. But again, the humour was covering up the seriousness which was probably not wise during a touching moment like this, but he didn't want to start CRYING, okay? Soph had seen him cry more times than he cared to admit.
Toby instantly paused his piano tinkering as a present was offered to him, and his hands automatically moved to that instead. New things to fidget with? Yes pls. The sixth year took it from Soph's hands and sort of felt and weighed it for a moment, before he glanced at the Ravenclaw and back and carefully peeled off the wrapping, to seeeee...
... his face. No. A mirror. A TWO WAY mirror judging by how Sophie was talking about it. Tobias looked into it, staring at the odd expression, a mixture of happy and hesitant and ???sad??? and all sorts, on the face staring back at him.
"Who?" was all he said. But he was pretty sure he already knew exactly who had the other. "...No, not really," Sophie murmured after a beat, wrapping both of her arms around him and giving him the best hug she could manage from their sitting position. "Don't ever stop." Though they had to, and she let go after a few long moments, not wanting Flamsteed to walk in and accuse them of things. Hehe. But she did shift and gently rest her cheek on his shoulder as he continued speaking, and she snorted lightly at what he had to say.
"He's the only thing in the whole world that I'm scared of. Dunno how you're not terrified, too, honestly. His arms are massive and he could crush you like a bug, and his EYEBROWS are so creepy and he STILL always gives me that look like he's gonna reprimand me for something. So serious. Terrifying." She shivered. "But speaking of him, Piers wants me to look out for him - and you, too. Look out for him, I mean. Piers says Javy gets lonely and sad but he won't show it, so we've gotta give him hugs and make sure he doesn't get too lonely, okay?" Sophie peeked up at him a bit nervously, though she was sure Tobes already looked out for his dad. "He needs us."
As Tobes began to unwrap the present, she gently reached her hand up to lightly squeeze his arm comfortingly, her cheek still on his shoulder, and grinned big at his reaction. "Your dad, of course. He got his last night. Test-called it and everything. He said we can call him any time of day, any time we'd like. So... we'll share it between us? You can take it with you. I'll let you know if I..." she cleared her throat a bit uncomfortably, "need it. And we can call him together sometimes. Bet he'd like that. Just thought... y'know, this would help with... coping. We can see him whenever we want now."
So? Did he like it? Or was he terribly disappointed that she wanted to share it and it wasn't all his own?
