So...unless orbs knew how to bounce up stairs...
"Random things showing up unexpectedly?" she asked, looking up at Emrys. "All the time, but have to admit this is the first time I have had an orb roll into me." She turned her gaze back to the orb now and cocked her head to the side. She remembered Professor Vindictus mentioning losing an orb while she had been in the Great Hall delivering flowers, but hadn't really paid much attention to it at the time. Could this be the same one? That was a coincidence if it was. Not to mention rather frightening since it implied that perhaps the orb COULD bounce up stairs by its own accord. Was this thing living? Or was it even...just an orb? What if...it was...an egg..."I...don't know," she replied. "Professor Vindictus mentioned missing an orb a while ago...maybe this is the one he was talking about?"
Emrys narrowed his eyes, squinting at the orb as Kurumi turned it. He dropped his hand, though the urge to grab the orb and look at it closer was strong.
He looked up a little perplexed, however, when she mentioned Vindictus.
"What... would Vindictus need with an orb?" Emrys was, of course, being unkind in his assumptions about his head of house. His experience with athletes had been... unfortunate... and he still harbored some unfair stereotypes.
He looked down the corridor in the direction it had come from.
"They don't," he hesitated, scrunching up his face in thought.
"They don't usually move on their own, though, do they?"
He bit his lip nervously.
"Should we bring it to someone?"
