"What I heard from older students is that, they're all gone... there's only one elf left." He frowned, trying to ignore his stomach and remember more. And didn't Kahlan say something along those lines? "Maybe they were treated badly too and they decided to leave." He shrugged. He didn't know much about their loyalty and how stuff worked for them.

And he sat. Because he was hungry, and he didn't know where the kitchen was or whether he was allowed to enter. He either ate now, or spend the night awake and hungry.

"I can--share my money with you," he offered, avoiding his eyes. He was horrible at consoling people and whatnot, and he didn't even know whether it'd sound offensive to the boy. He meant it innocently though... he'd get that from his voice?

"I'm a muggleborn, so my father gave me money in case I needed to buy something additional." That was his explanation, in case Tobias wondered.

"I-... what?" One elf left? Really? Tobias frowned slightly at that piece of information. He wondered if they HAD walked out, and if it HAD been because of bad treatment. Maybe they elves had wanted to be paid and were being refused? It was obvious that the school had no money... maybe they HAD been paying the elves and no longer could. "Well... I hope the last one is being treated okay and isn't under, you know, pressure." A big castle for one elf? From the state of the place, it certainly didn't seem like it... but you never really knew what went on in the places you couldn't see.

Tobias sat at the same time as Forrest, wrinkling his nose at the thought of the dust that he knew now covered his nose. But it was no problem, not really... he was starting to get used to it, and after all, it was only dust.

"Hmm?" he was brought back from his thoughts by the boy's suggestion. "Oh, no don't worry about it. But thank you," Tobias smiled sincerely. "I mean... I'll probably get money off of them. It's probably a case of getting our Head of House to write a note or something. I should be fine until then. Hopefully." Hmm... hopefully indeed. Tobias might even have to do a mini budget for a while. He glanced sideways at the boy as he reached across the table for the food and started assembling a bland meal. "I'll, err... keep it in mind though."

You know... just in case. Tobias wasn't above asking for help.

"So... you're a muggleborn then?" he moved the conversation along somewhat. Even just in conversation, figuratively staying in one place was just as difficult as it was in a literal sense. "This summer the first time you've heard of Hogwarts then?" Tobias asked curiously.
