Partly because he didn't know what to make of it, and that made him nervous, partly because it somehow reminded Toby of that last interaction in class, but also maybe 'cause it reminded him a little bit of Piers. And that was unacceptable right now.
So he kept his eyes off him again for the moment, but looking down at the grass and still twirling his wand every so quickly and smoothly through his fingers, his very favourite mode of fidgeting. Other than bouncing, of course, but he wasn't in a very bouncy mood. "Yeah," Toby replied. "... Maybe." He... wasn't so sure he was all that good at looking out for anyone anymore.
Then he'd spun his wand right into a proper spell-casting hold, and waved it at the ground again. A whole new crop of daisies and other flowers started to spring up amidst the others, more than before. Toby thought they were beautiful. "It's Orchideous Evoco," he said again, keeping his eyes on them. "I always picture the flowers I want, and they appear, or sometimes I like to cast it and see what shows up, and something always does. It's harder with things like roses and that, but not, like, impossible." Maybe. There was that wishy-washyness again. It almost had Sabel sighing, but such an action would undoubtedly be caught by the boy and would do nothing for his self-esteem.
That's what this learning this was about. Or rather, teaching.
Sabel twisted his wand about, watching Fuller-Thompson's hand motions and mouthing the mouthful of an incantation. So, it didn't matter that he wasn't particularly knoweldgable in flowers? Just cast and something would appear. Sounded simple enough.
He couldn't help the small smile that touched his lips at the last comment. "Like a patronus." Too soon? "Orchideous Evoco."
His smile broadened as three yellow flowers began slowly sprouting. It was only when they were halfway out that his smile wavered into a displeased frown. Plucking one of the dandelions, Sabel turned it about in his fingers. He'd always thought the weed was pretty, but that didn't change the fact it was a weed. "Don't think that's going to impress my daughter much."
