Still, no one had ever been quite this thoughtful and the muggle studies professor was touched by the gesture.
"I absolutely love it! This was so nice of you and it'll look so great alongside the other clocks and I just-" Moxley's eyes got all big and shining because emotions but she was going to pull herself together here, okay? Yes. Consider her pulled. "I appreciate this, Tobias. Thank you so much." Toby always loved to give people gifts. Liked to watch their faces and their reactions when they opened them up and everything. There were some people, like Gabe, who he always figured felt a bit awkward opening gifts in front of people, so Toby was always willing to just leave presents for them to open away from his own prying eyes. But other than THAT, yeah, it was great. Way better than receiving gifts, in his opinion.
And today was no exception. Toby beamed at Moxley's reaction to the clock, nothing short of ecstatic that she seemed to love it so much.
"I'm sooooo glad you like it," he said, bouncing his knees excitedly and fiddling with the strap of his school bag again on account of his energy.
"I..." Wait. Was that... was she... Toby stalled for a moment, and bit at his inside of his lip.
"Pleasedon'tcry," he mumbled, unsure if Moxley could hear him or if he even wanted her to hear him. BUT it was apparently like... HAPPY cry. And Toby could... yeah, he could deal with that. He thought so, anyway.
"It's alright, I mean, it's no problem. You're welcome, I mean... yeah, it's... yeah." Toby shrugged a shoulder and smiled again.
"I think you're awesome and stuff, and a great professor, so y'know." Yeeeee.
