As they strode in a swift pace down the corridor, she opened her mouth to protest Dakest's apparent accusation, but she let Tobes talk instead - she looked over at him with worry creases in her forehead and sad eyes that seemed as though they'd start welling up with tears all over again at any moment.

Tobes' explanation was jumbled and she threw him a deeply sympathetic look - she knew his emotions and uncooperative brain functions were getting the best of him now - before launching into her own follow-up of what the Hufflepuff had said, "What Tobes means is Javy 'n Culloden were leading the Cartographer's Club meeting which s'where we map the grounds and stuff and when we were in the playpens with the hippogriffs mapping stuff there the hippogriffs got SUPER spooked by something and they got all scared and crazy on us and one escaped from the pen and Javy," she wasn't even realizing she was calling him by his first name, she was just speaking entirely too fast for her brain to process her words, "sent a patronus to the groundskeeper to catch the hippogriff before it GOT to the forest line because it was headed toward his hut and when we went after them to try to catch up we could hear the screams and shouts of the groundskeeper coming from the forest so we knew the groundskeeper wasn't able to catch the hippogriff in time and we tried to go IN after them to help but it wouldn't let us in, only Javy 'n Culloden. It was me 'n Tobes, and two other prefects. Wouldn't let any of us in even though we're of age, and they wanted us to come get you for back-up and Javy said there wasn't much time. Like, word-for-WORD that's what he said, like he thought something really bad was happening or going to happen or..."

She was calming down just a little now, her sentences less slurred and hurried, but she was still very visibly on high alert as they went along and she couldn't finish her sentence. Self-awareness that her voice was clearly giving away how fearful she was made her swallow her words, and awareness that Tobes' dad was in there made her realize her own showing of fear was only going to make the situation worse.

But... Dakest needed to know everything that had gone on, didn't he? He NEEDED to know how serious it was and that they really should've been running again. Could she quicken their pace and work them into a run? She was gonna try.

Thankfully, Brown was present to interpret for him. And her desire to run? It was granted by the time she got to 'wasn't much time', except that it was hardly full speed for him. With his height, and near a decade spent running, it wouldn't take him long to surpass the winded students. That, and if there was trouble, he needed a reserve of energy to deal with it and he needed to remind both himself, and the students, that there was a calm and logical way to approach danger, rather than rushing headfirst. How utterly un-Gryffindor of him.

"I take it the Headmistress has already been informed? If not, one of you best scramble up there and get her." And the one, being Brown. He didn't trust that Truebridge would have time or patience to try to decipher Fuller-Thompson's jumbled words. "Otherwise, take me to the exact spot you left them."

The forest, let alone the edge of the forest was a big place. Wouldn't do to go in at the wrong spot.

Okay, yes. So. Sophie had managed to go into a lot more detail than Toby had. And he totally WOULD have said all that, but in his mind, he'd already covered all the bases. For some reason he just assumed that... that Dakest would KNOW all the things once Toby had said his very edited version. In any case, he had simply stayed quiet while Soph spoke, running along with them, feeling a renewed surge of ~~anxiety~~ adrenaline as a result of seeing Dakest move along so urgently. Definitely time to panic.

"I think..." Toby had said, without slowing his pace, as the moved through the castle and closer to the Forbidden Forest. "I think the others went for her." He glanced across at Soph for confirmation, because he honestly didn't know, on account of how he'd simply run straight for Dakest's office. Still, he had no reason to believe they hadn't gone there, being Prefects and totally on their game.

Closer and closer they got, and Toby remained quiet for the rest of the journey there, just focused on getting back before he forgot any of the details. This section up ahead looked was it, was exactly where they'd left the professors. He could tell because of the footprints in the snow that led in there and back out, and, of course, the mysterious trails from the Creature Playpens that he was careful not to disturb more than they already had been.

"We went with them. To here," he suddenly picked up his explanation as though he'd never stopped now that they neared the boundary of the Forest. "And we tried to go in, but there was a barrier, and it wouldn't let us, and it stopped us, right-"

*SMACK*

Toby had been running full pelt, forgetting to slow down in his urgency to at least do this job right. As a result, he smacked straight into the barrier again and reeled off of it, staggering slightly and blinking, dazed. He'd forgotten just how close it was. But it was fine, he was fine.

"-here. Right here. The barrier." Toby blinked again and shook his head to clear it, before pointing into the trees, towards the tracks that Javy and Culloden were likely already following. "We heard screams when we were here, and they went in there, saying 'not much time', y'know?" Was he babbling? Definitely. Toby wrung his hands, thinking again of Henry and Maclaren, then looked back over his shoulder and across the grounds to see if the others had managed to get Truebridge and bring her out here, unless she was already in there. "I heard yelling when we were all the way over there." Toby nodded his head back towards the Creature Playpens they'd been mapping when the Hippogriffs had freaked out.

... Toby hoped Monty was okay. He felt terrible for leaving him, now.
