Good.

He nodded at what the boy said, because he knew what he meant. 'busy' was just what Cosgrach had been doing too, or else, who in his right mind would try to figure out what to buy in that vast store room? It'd take him two full days to just count everything! At the question of Toby, though, his face shone and he almost said something - but then decided against it. Victoria had asked not to talk to people of her pregnancy until the second trimester, and he wouldn't. He just said "I'm great, thank you," instead, and shifted. How many weeks until the second trimester, again!? The whole WORLD must know it!

"How can I help you?" he asked - assuming Toby did want his help in the first place. If not, they could just chat too.

Great. Great was good, and good was great. Toby nodded, quite pleased to hear that. He may have been quiet about it, but Toby was fond of Culloden. Had been since the guy's first lesson here, even if it had been the thing to reveal his deep, dark, ticklish secret. Also, Culloden had unintentionally sparked Toby's friendship with Soph, and then their subsequent relationship. So... all things considered, Toby felt a weird sort of protectiveness over his professor and the guy's wellbeing. It was kinda weird, but he didn't question it. It was in Toby's nature to be protective.

"Well," he spoke up again, already fidgeting in his seat, though that was hardly anything out of the ordinary for Toby. "Couple of things, both potions related. One thing was just, y'know, a little question." He folded his arms, unfolded them, rest them on the arms of the chairs, then fiddled with the hem of his shirt to occupy his hands instead. Never sitting completely still. Then he went straight to the point. Or as straight to the point as he was ever able to go. "It's just I've been wondering, y'know certain potions get stronger if you leave them? Like love potions and that? I was wondering if that worked for all potions, or just a few. If it depended on other things; the brewing, the ingredients, the nature of the potion." Toby didn't mention the one he had in mind just yet, preferring to withhold that information unless absolutely necessary.

He ceased fiddling with his shirt and moved his hands to the arms of the chair again, drumming at the surface with his fingertips and smiling good-naturedly at Culloden.
