SPOILER!!: Dakest

This was nice, it really was. Toby often felt as though he didn't get enough time to appreciate nature in person and stuff these days, what with how stressful school had suddenly become again. He found himself relaxing as he gathered a few of the daisies, only as many as he needed, and watched as one of the butterflies fluttered into his range of sight and settled on his hand.

Toby paused, and started to raise his hand to eye-level, all the better to see the butterfly, but a voice suddenly caught him way off guard, making him jump and the butterfly fly away.

... How long had he been standing there? Toby hadn't heard him approach, which wasn't so strange, but he had been making the effort to... sort of avoid the professor. Though, as was the case with a lot of things, he would never admit it. Still... he found himself already closing off to him, while at the same time trying not to be impolite. It was a difficult balance to maintain.

"I..." The flowers, he was asking about the flowers, and not a word had been said about patronuses. Toby could handle that. He looked back down at the daisies that had sprouted from the ground around him, a couple still appearing and opening up. "It's an Orchideous spell. I cast it by accident once, before I knew what the spell was, and it's the only non-verbal spell I can do." This was probably a longer explanation than necessary, but Toby often found it a lot easier to ramble about things like this. "And then I found it in a book, and yeah." He took the harvested daisies and began making them into a chain. "Orchideous Evoco. Makes flowers grow from the ground." In case that, y'know, wasn't obvious.

It wasn't that he didn't like his office, or any of the other spaces where he could work. It was just that he liked the outdoors more. Unfortunately, the tree by the lake had proved quite a crowded place and the pumpkin patch just brought back all sorts of distracting memories. There were a few new additions to the grounds, so Sabel thought he'd check them out. Of note, was the butterfly garden which, while proving no less distracting to his thoughts, was a rather quiet place. A place Arya would have loved. He could almost imagine her there, back when they were still kids, dancing about and pointing at all the pretty winged creatures. She would have grabbed his arm and pointed at the kid sitting in the midst of the landscaping, creating daisies out of nothing. She would have asked the boy how he did it. Sabel wanted to ask how the boy managed to create such a beautiful thing, but a patronus scared him to death and back again. Letting out a slow breath, Sabel walked over to the kid, pausing a few feet away. He didn't want to interrupt his reverie, but after the last class he hadn't seen much of the boy. And well, things hadn't exactly ended on the smoothest note. But anything he thought to say seemed too harsh, too formal and Professor like. Granted, that was his job, but he didn't want to frighten the kid into silence. So, he settled for the question his memory-Arya was prodding him to ask. "I can't say that I've ever seen something like that before. What spell are you using?" It didn't sound the way it should have, but then Arya was always better with words than he was. But it was an effort. This was nice, it really was.
