Though... if she needed to know anything about her major cycle numbers, she was LEARNING THEM RIGHT NOW. Merlin bless Tobes.
"Thanks. M'sure those are valuable things for us to know. I'll keep them in my heart forever." She was joking, but her tone was dry because adding proper inflections to her voice was draining and made her head throb again, so she probably sounded a little rude, but she smiled in an attempt to let Tobes know that she wasn't getting snarky with him. No, she was just a little miserable, okay? That's all.
...Oh. Potion. "Yeah, I'll go. Just... gimme a sec. You go on. Get back to class. Make me proud. Tell Tanner I love her. I believe in you." She waved her hand dismissively at him and closed her eyes again, pondering the likelihood that Culloden would just randomly come walking along and have a potion for her. Guh. If only she could produce a patronus.
If Toby could do that one-quirked eyebrow thing (and he absolutely couldn't, despite years of practice), he would have done so right then. Instead he settled for standing there with his arms folded, brow furrowed as he considered what to do. A couple of months ago, Toby might have lifted and carried her off to get a potion, but today he wasn't really in the mood to be giving piggy backs. Well, that and apparently he'd lost a good deal of strength somehow in the last month or two. Piggy back rides were off the agenda until he had the stamina to resume working out again.
"Right," was all Toby said, eventually, after a lot of standing and looking. But he didn't leave. Nope, he got his wand out instead, and one hover charm later, Soph was floating in the air in front of him.
"C'mon then." Though really, she had no choice.
Without another word, Toby headed off down the corridor levitating Sophie Brown. Really, there was no way he was just going to walk off. No, he'd deliver the sarcastic, stubborn Ravenclaw to the Potions Master and then go badger a staff member he was pretty sure would be in his office at this time of day. Even if that office was all the way up at the top of a tower.
Yeah. Toby would probably be late getting back.
