He focused for a moment instead on casually straightening out Pebbles' missing poster, de-creasing it by flattening it against his leg (makeshift iron; he'd be a perfect househusband one day) and everything, until it felt safe to look up again.

And WHEW. That proper smile was a good sign, and it, along with Airey's words, elicited a grin from Toby. "You're not in my debt or anything, Professor. It's, like, no worries. Just wanna help, is all." Nodding lots of nodding. Toby had already planned half the article in his head by this point, and he was QUITE glad that Airey was cool with it.

HAND. For a handshake, like sealing the deal, like with Dakest, yes. Toby took Airey's hand to shake it.

Pretending not to hear what Mr. Toby just said - because no matter what the Hufflepuff said the man WAS in his debt - the astronomer turned his attention to the hand that he now held and gave it two firm shakes before pulling the Hufflepuff a bit closer to bump their forearms. "Not to worry, Mr. Toby," he reassured with a boyish grin. "I have not completely lost my marbles here and forgotten what a handshake is."

Although, given the way he had been walking about the corridor it would not be all that far fetched to believe that he had.

"I am simply encouraging an eons old tradition of greeting and special identification. You see, Mr. Toby, you and I are going to create our own secret handshake," he explained as he looked down at their arms. This was something he had not done with any other student EVER. In fact, the last time he had created one of these properly had been when he and his flight crew were still in training...before the accident. "Two shakes and an elbow bump...where would you like to take this next?"
