Right at Soph. But he played along. "I'd like to think I've done braver things than that in my life," he remarked as they walked.
Interesting thought about Flamsteed though. Where was that guy? Probably off nerding out over moon rocks or something, though Tobias wasn't sure there were any moon rocks here. "Bet he believes in aliens," Toby replied after a few moments thought. His logic was that HE, TOBY, believed in other lifeforms out in space, so naturally... Airey would as well. "Big ol' universe. Can't just be for us. Maybe we're the aliens." Welp. Now Toby was thinking about other life way out there and just how different they were and would they be nice and was there and alien version of him in an alien version of Hogwarts and-
They were there. Toby saluted the people manning the entrance as they stepped in and headed straight for some seats directly in the middle of the room. He cast his eyes up to the ceiling as she spoke and gave a nod. "Uh-huh, these things are super cool. I went to a planetarium once before, when I was ten. Don't remember much of it, but they play it all on the ceiling, it's wicked."
Okay, they were seated, settled, fidgety and READY. And just in time, 'cause the show was about to start. Time to leaaarrrn. Soph snorted at Tobes' words, hugging his arm tighter and unable to wipe the stupid, goofy grin off her face. He was a pretty brave person in general, wasn't he? Maybe... sometimes it was impulsive bravery closely followed by regret and guilt in many situations, but his surges of of great courage were admirable all the same.
Sophie... wasn't so sure that Flamsteed believed in aliens. He was a very logical man, wasn't he? Aliens seemed a little too... out there, but she just shrugged. "So you believe, huh?" Her big grin was back and she poked his side lightly as she went on, "Maybe this film'll make a believer outta me, too." That's what it was going to be about, right? Finding evidence and reasonable cause to believe we weren't alone in the universe?
But the place was so BIG. And... the WHOLE ceiling being the movie - she briefly wondered if they could enchant the ceiling or something at school to produce imagery like what they would be experiencing today. She had no idea how that would work nor if it was even possible, but she thought the IDEA was SUPER COOL.
They were in their seats now, though, and Soph instinctively got cozy next to Tobes, still holding his hand and showing no signs of wanting to let go of him any time soon. Muggles didn't have a problem with a little hand-holding, did they? It wasn't like they were snogging or anything.
BUT THE MOVIE WAS STARTING. Her eyes grew big and she cozied closer to Tobes, squeezing his hand tightly with the BIGGEST smile on her face. THIS PLACE WAS SO COOL. SO LOUD. SO MUCH TO LOOK AT ALL AT ONCE.
