Romanos seemed pretty pleased with his answer, and Sophie's answer too. Toby beamed at her response, nodding along as she added her own explanation to it, and then glanced around to grin at Soph for just a brief second, before going back to taking notes and paying attention. 'Cause now he was eager to give even more good answers, if possible.

Okay, well, he WOULD stretch and stuff, in juuuuuuust a second. Tobias was determined to get all these notes down, because every little detail would make all the difference when it came to OWLs and stuff. He could still offer an answer though, and after some thought, Toby stuck his hand in the air again.

"It's sorta... related to that one advantage, about how you can use offensive spells and have the defensive shield at the same time-" THEORETICALLY of course. Toby wasn't expecting to ever be in a situation like this, 'cause it just didn't happen. Not in his little fantasy world, at least. "-but that means you have to divide your focus, like making sure you're using the shield properly and not about to drop it or anything AND focusing on sending out spells, so you have to multi-task. It's like, good and bad, or potentially easier and more difficult at the same time. A double-edged thingy." Did that make sense? Probably not, but Toby felt if he just kept talking then eventually something would come out of his mouth that would make the raw idea in his head make some degree of sense.
