joke. Toby totally knew that, suuuuure. He grinned and laughed along with the professor, then saluted her and finally took his seat. Because he was allowed to now. Yup.
Right down to it then, and if Toby noticed that Tanner was all choked up or anything, he pretended not to, because he always liked it when people didn't notice when
he was upset. So, y'know, just returning the favour.

"What goes around comes around. Being kind to people, all that stuff." Even though that wasn't actually a reason to BE kind, or anything. Karma was just a thing that some people thought happened. Toby had never really thought about it.
