Polishing the broom was fun and good physical work that kept Tobias' brain organised, but he couldn't do even the same physical activity for too long. At Sander's question, the Hufflepuff looked around, distracted, but grinned and said "Great!" as enthusiastically as ever. "How about with you?"

Wax on, wax off. Except it wasn't really wax. It was broom polish. Tobias had been working for ages on this broom handle, and he could feel his energy building up.

Suddenly, Tobias got up out of his seat so suddenly he was almost like a jack-in-the-box.

"Nobody minds if I just stick with one broom and do all the station-type-thingies or whatever, do they?" he asked the occupants of the broomshed at large, even the ones he didn't recognise. "It's just that if I do the same thing for too long I get all antsy and stuff." Plus, more opportunity to see more people, right? But he wasn't gonna say that 'cause technically this wasn't a social thing.

The broom he'd been working on had a pretty decently polished handle now, but Tobias figured he'd probably end up redoing it afterwards anyway, and took that same broom over to the section where West and the twig-washers were. He managed to find a bucket that wasn't being used, and put in the cleaning solution and water up to a decent enough level that the twigs would be submerged but the water wouldn't overflow.

Once the tail end of the broom was in the water, Tobias heard Bart talk to him, and he looked over to the kid with a grin.

"I sure do!" Toby replied with enthusiasm. But he didn't need to return the question becaaauuuseee... "I know you do. I watched the tryouts." All of them. Every tryout. Every house.

The twigs had soaked long enough by this point, so Tobias looked down at bucket, giving the job his full focus, and gently stirred the tail twigs ten times.

Another minute's wait, followed by stirring it ten times the opposite direction, and then lifting the broom so that the excess solution would drip off.

Glancing around to see if there was a towel within reach so that he could do the next steps, Tobias spoke again. "Uh... West? How many brooms d'you think can be cleaned in one bucket before the solution and water needs refreshing? Only one, or maybe a whole bunch? I only ever clean and service one broom at a time, so I've never thought about it before." Tobias could see many methods of reasoning all at once, which made it much harder to come to a conclusion on this particular thought.

Who else was facing in a direction that made it easy for her to survey without having to twist, stretch, or move in any discernible way? She wasn't feeling too.. limber at the moment. "Mr. Newell, good work, good work."

She turned towards the sound of someone addressing her. Come over? Really? She.. wasn't exactly 'feeling it,' as the young ones would say. She craned her neck and left it at that. "Yes, Mr. Strand, that is quite satisfactory. Carry on."

More students, then? "Ben. Caelen. Keep up the high quality work." She was going to say more, but then she heard something.

Was that someone performing MAGIC on HER brooms? She certainly had not sanctioned that! "Mr. Maroon, I appreciate your enthusiasm. However, I would request that you perform the tasks manually rather than magically." She had found over the years -- many years -- that the lines were more in tune with each other and created a more pinpoint turn when done by hand. "Thank you."

Excellent, Tobias seemed to have found a way to release his energy and still be productive. Her musings were interrupted by the arrival of the Gryffindor Prefect. From most people, greeting her with 'sup' would have earned them a talking to. But.. something about Alexa Cambridge made Tiara loosen up a bit. "Sup yourself, Miss Cambridge," she said with a nod. She was about to tell her to jump right in, but that was apparently not needed. No surprise there.

Tyner listened curiously to how West would reply to Toby's question. When he had finished, she nodded in agreement. She really had nothing to add.

Awesome.. The boy did play that was totally cool in Bart's mind. "Cool what position? I'm Bart by the way." In case the boy didn't know, but they were in classes together so he might know though Bart wasn't sure of his name. He probably said it in class, but his mind didn't focus in class, because most of the classes were so boring and lecture.. Merlin the lectures around here. "So do they only hire long winded people to teach classes?" Maybe the boy knew the answer, Bart really wanted to know it.

He was working on his next broom and pointed his wand when he heard his name. Now what did he do. He looked at the twigs thinking he did an awesome job. One thing he wouldn't screw up was a broom. Goodness no they were to amazingly awesome to do that, but the woman was saying not to use magic. He blinked at her, was she joking? This was a wizard school, right? He hadn't found himself in a muggle school some how did he? He glanced around and felt appalled that she wanted him to trim the muggle way. She did realize that would mean by hand didn't she? Which meant more option for error.

"aaa alright." He was still giving weird confused looks when he put down his wand. This was dumb, he wasn't a muggle and shouldn't have to do muggle labor. Sighing he started doing the twigs the manual way which was just awkward and now he wasn't sure if he was trimming them right. Good thing these were not his brooms.

SPOILER!!: Cuttyand Addi

Oh it was cool name boy and he had those weird trimmer things for Bart. "Thanks" He said in an annoyed ton as he started trimming his broom the borrrrring way. Leaning closer to the slytherin he nodded towards the offical, "Think she's not aware that the spell would make these more prefect and not as hacked?" It was so foreign to him to see manual labor things. He didn't even know muggle things until his step family moved in on him and his mother. Not that he minded the TV, games, and surfing. No those could stay but this work thing needed to go.

His annoyed looked left as he grinned and touched his face, "Nothin at all actually. It just started growin one day. Isn't it awesome. I'm not trimming it or anything. I'm going to see how far I can get it to go." He had never seen anyone his age have a full long beard, maybe he could get himself into the World Record books or something. He was sure of it with this awesomely Epic beard.

That's when his nose started sniffing.. It sniffed out something that smelled good. One thing that never failed him was his stomach. Someone really close to him had food. His brown eyes searched until "BROWNIES" It was brownie girl and her awesome and amazing goodies. "Can I have one.." Oh what was the snakes name again. She had given it to him when he was near her common room and got his first brownie from her. "Addi" That's it wasn't it?

Build up your female fanbase while they were both still...young? Cutty appreciated his sense of style too when it came to clothing. He'd noticed it that day on the lake as well but hadn't really thought about it until he'd gotten back to his common room. Tobias was a sharp dresser. So sharp, in fact, that the thought occured to Cutty that if he hadn't been a boy, he might have fallen for Tobias himself. HAHahahaha! Wayo!!! Did Tobias just say he'd been to every tryout? Like, every, every one?! Djajdikalfjalall! Wot'nell was he doing trying to get Odessa's attention fer, then?!! His brief lapse into frustration didn't last long for the mercurial boy however because that was when he noticed Bart and his beard...as Professor Tyner had addressed the Gryffindor somewhat sternly. Cutty moved over to where the supplies were kept and drew out two pairs of twig trimmers one for himself and one for Bart. Then finding a spot over by him handed over a pair before taking his own and starting to trim away at stray twigs that looked like they might be detrimental to the aerodynamic design of a flying broom. "Your beard's coomin' in nicely! What are you doing to it?" Oh it was cool name boy and he had those weird trimmer things for Bart. "Thanks" He said in an annoyed ton as he started trimming his broom the borrrrring way.
