Toby had actually been expecting way more than this. Like... he'd imagined great long soliloquies about having DISAPPOINTED AIREY IMMENSELY and BROUGHT SHAME ON HIS HOUSE and his FAMILY and his COW. BOTH of his cows. He'd been expecting to be issued a detention, at the very least, seeing as the professor had deducted points from from literally everyone freely during the lesson and clearly wouldn't have needed to wait 'til the end of the lesson to do the same for them, meaning it would have been something else.

But then... no? Only a promise of a detention, should it ever happen again (and Tobias was ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN IT NEVER EVER WOULD... the only reason he'd been stupid today was completely his own fault, trying to take control of things, and boy had he learned his lesson). It was weird... what Airey said made him feel relieved, and yet a whole lot worse at the same time. He didn't feel he really deserved to get let off so easily. Not at all. He still felt awful.

Though... he absolutely believed Airey's comment about tickling being a form of torture. ABSOLUTELY BELIEVED IT. Just... just saying.

A glance at Flamsteed's stony expression was enough to make Toby look straight back down again, back to chewing on his nails as he seemed to be doing constantly this at the moment. He couldn't believe he'd... he'd... betrayed him like that. Just thinking about it was enough to make him start getting upset again. Thankfully, Airey's final statement was enough to drag him out of that a little bit. He glanced up again.

"Yes, Professor. Thanks... and... and I'm really sorry, um... again." And probably would apologising until the end of forever at this rate, because he was... ridiculous. "... Sorry."

But okay. Yes. Wand. Toby turned away and looked to the floor again before he could get all visibly emotional; keeping feelings and stuff under the surface and in check was exhausting but necessary, until at least he found his wand and was free to go be on his own.

At one point, he considered summoning the thing but... yeah. Hard to do without actually having a wand to hand in the first place.
