Culloden was always super cool about things, and this was no exception. Toby smiled at his response, still flipping the pages of his textbook with the edge of his thumb.

"I mean... I think I'll... think about it, y'know?" he said, unable to keep himself from imagining an eventuality where he did go on to do healer studies at WU, and did well, and became a Healer AND a professional Quidditch player. Maybe it seemed like a lot for one person to do, maybe even it was impossible, but you weren't allowed to say that something was impossible without trying it first. Still, Toby knew for sure that he needed a good, long break from school things, at least for a little while. Get in the air. Clear his head. "Everyone's always telling me how much potential I have. I don't want to let anyone down by not using it, y'know what I mean?" Wanting to please everyone was very difficult now Toby was this age, about to leave school and do his own thing. Mainly he wanted to have fun, but every time someone suggested he do this or that, he felt guilty for not wanting it or going for it.

But. Yeah. THINGS. Things he wasn't going to dwell on.

"I guess I still got a bunch of time. I'll see how Quidditch goes first." Toby suddenly broke out into a super wide grin. "Hey, if I get onto a team, I'll send you tickets for a game, and tons of merch and stuff. When West... West Odessa... when he first started playing Pro Quidditch I got a bunch of merchandise from him, and some of my other friends, too. So I bet I can do that for other people." Was he getting ahead of himself here? Probably. But Toby was EXCITED. He wanted to send people all sorts of free stuff.

Cosgrach nodded reassuringly. Toby would think about it, got it. It wasn't an easy thing to decide your future at all, and everyone needed some time for it. And... oh... Cosgrach regretted mentioning the word 'potential'. "What's important is, what you think you're best at," he said, "don't worry about others, yeah?" Yeah. Cosgrach would love Toby the same if he became a Quidditch player too (actually more if - EHEHEHE, TICKETS to the games! Toby read his mind!).

"You..." he shook his index finger at the boy as if he'd caught him doing something he shouldn't be doing, but he was grinning from ear to ear. "You know how to speak Cosgrach." Free tickets and merchandise! Who wouldn't want it!? "Definitely try Quidditch first, then become a Healer. I need tickets now and a healer when I'm older." He laughed.

Not selfish at all. HEHE.
