SPOILER!!: Sabel ^^

Toby nodded in understanding. Not because he understood the whole 'not liking flying' thing, but more because he knew that some things weren't for everyone. It had taken him a long time to properly grasp the concept of another person not liking something that he, personally, found so much joy in, but he did understand such things these days. "I just love it. It's the only thing I could do straight away, without having to focus too much on being taught it by someone else. And I think it's super fun. And I love fun." Who didn't love fun, after all? That thought was inconceivable to Toby. "But I know it's not fun for everyone."

He leaned back once more, drumming the stable door with his thumbs but keeping his fingers hooked on, and then forward again. "Keeper. That's what I played for the Hufflepuff team, then for the Under Seventeens. I'm good as a Chaser too, and I've tried Seeker a few times and I was okay at it, but I like Keeping best. I'm a lot smaller than Keepers usually are and I can't really keep still, but when I was a first year my Ella said that 'cause I'm so fidgety and bouncy that I might be able to zoom and bounce between the hoops and defend them that way and she was right." Toby nodded once for emphasis, and smiled at the memory. He was absolutely positively 100% aware that he'd started rambling again, but didn't seem to mind. Quidditch and flying made him happier than almost anything; he'd talk about them all day if left unchecked.

The idea of a internship was pretty cool (he wondered if the Snidget sanctuary would let him intern there properly once he graduated), though something about thinking of proper adulting put Toby on edge, juuuust a little bit. He chewed on his lip for a moment before replying. "Yeah-huh. As long as I get to have fun and be happy, I don't mind what I do." Aaaaand seeing as Quidditch AND working with creatures would come under that category, that was a pretty decent plan. "I've not really thought that much about the future anyway. I usually just wait and see what happens." Toby watched as one of the abraxans looked over and huffed in their direction, and he smiled back at it. Hello, friend.

His brow twitched a little at the mention of Quidditch, though his expression remained rather unreadable. "Never liked flying myself. Scared the daylights out of me, and I was never any good at it." Surprise, surprise. Not being good at something one was afraid of. What a concept. "It's a decent career goal." Besides the fact injury was likely imminent. But it was better than the kid proclaiming he wanted to be an Auror. That would have made Sabel choke. \|"Which position?" But it was interesting, that the kid was here, and not out and about practicing Quidditch in one form or another, even if the pitch was closed. "And if you're not interested in university, you might be able to find an internship on the side." Toby nodded in understanding.
