OKAY, right, yes. Groups. Chasers and Keepers, Toby was definitely going with that group. He'd never been much for playing as Beater for many reasons (though it would've been fun to work in Tyner's group today), or Seeker, either (despite it being super fun and a position he actually wasn't half bad at). Nah, Toby liked to be where the Quaffle was. Whether scoring or defending the hoops, that was the stuff that drew this kid's attention. So when Esme called over the Chasers and Keepers, he directed his broom after her.

"Can anyone partner with anyone?" Toby asked as he approached the group, raising his voice to that Quidditch Pitch Volume. "Or is it like Chasers with Chasers, Keepers with Keepers? Or Chasers with Keepers?" Like, was it important for whatever exercise they were doing? 'Cause he'd probably be sticking with the Keeper role, but was pretty flexible when it came to Quaffle work. But it was good to ask, even if it might have just been an excuse to talk.

Toby glanced down towards the ground. He could go grab a Quaffle now anyway, then, if he partnered with someone who already had one, could just drop it or pass it off to another pair. Without even allowing the time for the Esme person to respond (not out of rudeness, but more total absentmindedness), Tobias directed his broom towards the ground, retrieved a Quaffle to himself, then flew right back up again. He hovered in midair, passing the Quaffle from hand to hand and looking around for a potential partner.

He was smiling too, because there was Quidditch in the air today. Uh... no pun intended.
