"We haven't talked properly in ages," he said, and blamed it on their hectic life. "How are you?" Well, he hoped?
Whew. Nailed it.
Toby nodded as he let the door close again behind him and headed across to the armchair Culloden had directed him to. He sank into the armchair and allowed himself to relax, at least as much as someone like himself could ever relax.
"I know," the Hufflepuff agreed, nodding again. It was a shame, because he really did like Culloden, liked talking to him. The same went for a lot of professors and students alike, of course, but things were keeping him rather occupied at the moment. He became distracted by thinking of those things for a moment or two, furrowing his brow ever so slightly, close to becoming lost in thought. But then, remembering himself, Toby gave a slight shake of the head to clear it and bring himself back to the present moment, and he smiled at Culloden.
"I'm..." He paused, realising he didn't quite know the answer to that.
"... good. Keeping busy with stuff, y'know? Lots to focus on and all that." Toby thought of home, and of his new baby brother.
"How about you, Professor? Everything good with you?"
