Merlin. That never really got old, did it? Toby grinned again as Airey totally nerded out about rockets and space and stuff. It made him happy, okay? To see the guy getting enthusiastic given the circumstances with the missing Pebbles and all. Toby nodded along eagerly at the explanation, and copied the Starman's movements.

WIGGLY FINGERS. WIGGLEWIGGLEWIGGLEWIGGLEWIGGLE.

He even made a noise that was close to what he thought a rocket getting ready to launch sounded like, barely realising what he was doing. A kind of... low 'wssssshhhssschhhhhhhh...'. And lift-off. Toby chimed in a second after Airey's lead, copying his, uh... windmilling? Okay. Yeah. Copying that, too.

"SCHOOOOOOOM!" Still grinning, Toby bounced juuuuust a little on his toes and looked at the hands they still hand in handshake-position. "How about this? You ever heard of Thumb War?" he asked, manoeuvring their hands into the start position for that and just randomly dancing his thumb around for a few moments. Not a real GAME, but Y'KNOW. "And..." he looked at their other hands. "A high five? Fist bump?"

Ah yes. Nice and complicated. Toby didn't care, though, 'cause it was fun. He'd worry about remembering it later. The more complicated, the better the SECRET. 'Cause secret handshake.

"Stellar, Mr. Toby," the astronomer cheered as his left hand came to a rest at his side after making a full circle round after his rocket noise making. "You are quite good at this."

Sincerely hoping that his right have was not becoming too sweaty - this was some of the longest hand holding he had ever done with another person, save for Medea, ever and it was starting to hit him just how long it HAD been - the Astronomy professor began to press his toes firmly against the bottoms of his shoes. "Thumb war? Oh yes I am quite familiar with it," he nodded while his thumb danced with the Hufflepuff's for a few rounds. "How about...a double high five," he suggested, mostly because he was desperate to stop holding hands now. "Just here at chest level and then...we do this for the grand finale."

Squatting down so that his bum hovered just barely over the floor and hugged his knees to his chest. Glancing upwards - which gave him a prime view up Mr. Toby's nostrils - he waved the boy down to join him in this position. "On the count of three, we jump vertically as high as we can while extending our legs and arms fully out to the sides at the same time in midair and shout I'M A STAR!"

Jumping. To signify all the times he had leaped onto the young man's desk as well as their shared interest in pogo sticks.

Oh sweet solstice that was far too sentimental a thought for his delicate persona right now.
