Ooooh, that was the Gryffindor kid that Toby had found himself getting all annoyed with. Thinking back to those lessons, especially now he was around his beloved brooms which always had a super calming effect on Toby, the boy felt super bad. Incredibly guilty. He resolved to make it up to the boy, even though he'd never said anything out loud about anything.
Soooooooo Tobias put on his friendly grin and raised a hand in greeting.
"'Sup."
He didn't know why he kept saying that word. He'd literally never said it before today. But apparently Toby was trying to be cool now.

Wait were they supposed to trim the tail twigs or polish the brooms like Professor Tyner had asked them to do? Sander was confused. He didn't want to sound stupid and ask the boy, so he tried to verbalize his question in another way.
"So I know the Professor asked us to polish the brooms. Can we do that first before we trim the twigs or after?" Sander asked the younger Puff. He already had the tin of polish in front of him and was about to scoop out a glob to apply to the broomstick handle.
And then Sander was speaking and Toby looked back. This seemed as good a place as any to sit, after all. Tobias looked around and found a stool nearby. He hooked his foot around it a dragged it a little closer so he could sit with Sander. As he lowered himself to sit, Tobias felt another twinged in his lower back, and made a mental note of himself to use more of that awesome pain relief stuff there as well. Though at this rate, he'd be running out very soon.
But for now, brooms.
"Technically, we can do either first. The only time order really matters is when dealing with the tail twigs, after all, 'cause you gotta soak or clean them clipping," Tobias said laying the broom over his knees and unzipping his jacket, as it had gone all bunched up. He loosened his scarf to take it off, and set it down beside him.
"We can do the broom handles first, I always have a tendency to start with the tail twigs."
But yes. Polish. Sander had already picked up some polish, so Tobias reached back to the broom servicing stuff with a little wince as he stretched, and picked up two rags for polishing. One to put the polish on, one to take it back off.
Wax on, wax off.
He turned back to Sander and smiled, as was his custom. The older Hufflepuff had retrieved the polish to Toby would wait until he'd used it before asking to share.
