[Toby's just heading back from getting the coffee she desperately needs before she can even think, let alone think about doing work in her yard. She hadn't even glanced at her phone when she got up--the whole cellphone thing is still weird to her, let alone the idea of checking something that might not always ring--so she didn't know about the job request.

She still stops, though, but that's more because of the sight of a child. A couple years ago she might not have recognized it as a child, but that was before she met April who, for all her talk of rebooting and servers and everything else Toby didn't understand, had still been a little girl who loved her mommy with everything she had. Now Toby sees a person, and her memories of Gillian as a toddler are still so fresh it's easy for her to see that this little being must be about the same age in one way or another. It causes her heart to catch in her throat for a second, but she swallows down the pain and her smile isn't nearly as forced as it is a lot of the time her past comes back to haunt her]


Ah, no, hadn't heard about it sorry. What do you need? Besides an extra pair of eyes to watch this little troublemaker that is. [that's said warmly, though. Some people who know Toby only as the woman who is covered in blood more often than not might be surprised by that]
