It wasn't long before they'd reached the door out into the Entrance Hall, but Tobias only paused for a moment before crossing the vast floor and straight for the broom closet on the other side of the room. Now peeking inside, and finding the room mercifully empty, Toby looked back at Sophie looking almost apologetic about the choice of destination, but gestured towards it anyway.

"In here? We can talk in private."

First choice would have been the grounds, but it was cold out there and required actual preparation to leave the castle, and Toby preferred to talk about this now while they were still had the discussion from the office clear in their minds.

Well, at least he could thank Culloden for something.

Sophie kept hold of Toby's hand the whole way, letting herself be led out of the dungeons. Usually full of things to say, Sophie was as silent as could be for once, only responding to Toby with a small smile and a nod at everything he said. Yes, yes, it was all fine with her.

She was still... processing. And not making sense of a lot of things. On one hand, there was relief that Toby seemed to have real feelings for her and even said such things aloud, but on the other hand, she couldn't help but wonder if he had just been trying to please Culloden. After all, the man had taken on a father-like role in her life, and weren't boys usually far too afraid of pleasing the fathers of the girls they liked? So how much of what Tobes had said was just for show, and how much did he really mean?

Talk in private. Yes. Sophie obediently entered the broom closet, not at all put off by his choice of location. Cozy and free of eavesdroppers, it was. "Sorry about him," she finally spoke up after a moment of silence, leaning against the dusty wall and sliding down to a seated position on the floor, uncaring about the spiderweb she had just squished. Her expression was solemn, and she forced herself to met Toby's gaze, "I wouldn't have dragged you there if I thought he'd do that. Didn't mean to... put you in an awkward position." There was no pressure for him to feel like he had to make any grand gestures now, see?
