"You okay?" It had a deeper meaning than just 'did the transform hurt?' (because Cosgrach knew it wouldn't). He hoped the boy was.

Toby accepted the hand up, and stood for a moment, brushing at his uniform and straightening it out again. Thank Merlin it was a super easy transition between human and Werewolf Lite™, but it made Toby feel incredibly sorry for actual werewolves who had to transform without a Wolfsbane Potion. If the emotional switch and the guilt was bad like this, when he'd had his comparatively tame but still violent thoughts, thinking about what they went through hurt his heart.

"Thank you," Toby said, speaking up a little now but still overly focused and brushing away imaginary dust from his uniform, so he wouldn't have to look at Culloden. He sniffed. "I'm sorry, I..." He didn't mean it, was what he wanted to say. Didn't want to be a werewolf 'cause he didn't want to act like that. And then it occurred to him that real werewolves probably didn't want to act like that either, only for them it was SO MUCH WORSE. It made his heart hurt even more. "I'm sorry," Toby said again.

He quickly rubbed at his face before looking up, and replied automatically. "I'm fine. I-"

The rest of his sentence was cut off by a sudden loud howling nearby, causing him to whip his head around and look in the general direction of the noise. Toby wasn't aware of it, but he was hearing the WereDakest - the familiar-but-not-enough-to-recognise-it voice sent a chill through him whereas the other howls had bothered him a lot less. And then another surge of panic. He realised he was free from BEING a werewolf, but not free from getting turned back again. Toby looked back at Culloden, eyes wide, and took a few steps back. "I gotta go," he said, the words coming out in a rush. "Thank you... I mean, sorry... I mean... both. I..." Okay, no. He had to go. "Sorry, sir."

And Toby turned and ran, but only a couple of metres, until he found a suitable tree, probably still within Culloden's range of vision. Without further ado, he hauled himself up the first few branches before any werestudents could get to him, then scaled the tree, climbing up up up as far as he could go. All he could do was wait it out. He had no wand, practically no curing candies left (though he could try to drop them into the mouths of any werewolf that saw him), and he absolutely a thousand percent did not want to be a werewolf again. His head was still all jumbled from that last one.

So Toby sat there, alone but for his thoughts, and watched the action through the trees.
