"Gifts are better than things taken or retrieved after a loved one's passing." That Toby can agree to readily. His favorite mementos are all gifts he was given by those he's loved over the years. True, he still has some that he's taken, but what else was he supposed to do in some cases? Some have left him rather suddenly or been forced out of his life for reasons beyond either party's control. He'll be damned again if anyone tries to take what few things he was able to take with him from Dorian.
He grins around a sip of his drink as Lucifer tells the story of Moonlight Sonata. That's a very thinly veiled story and exactly the kind of thing he loves to know. He's going to hold onto that tidbit now, thanks.
"He gave it to you as his penance?" That's surprising. Being given something like that is unusual even for those with extremely long lives. For an artist to give away something so precious requires a hell of a strong will, one that many don't have. Toby's eyebrows rise briefly as he refreshes his drink and then he tips his drink in Lucifer's direction. "It turned out beautifully. I've enjoyed it many times over the years, in person from time to time and everything. Didn't make it to its debut, though. Bit too far for me to travel back then."
