"Professor," he reluctantly returned the man's greeting with a nod. "Same to you and your..." Erik stared at the object in his hand, "..pup?"
He took a step closer to the man to study the odd-shaped object, only realising a moment too late that Flamsteed had noticed the tie. "Mhm, yes, it is. Is vhat a pup?" If it were, he felt sorry for the thing. It was rather unnatural-looking, like an ugly runt. Or a rock, really, if Flamsteed were the sort to glue puppet accessories to a bit of stone.
But no, surely it was a pup? So it WAS a Carolina blue silk tie. He knew it. If there was anything that he knew more about than astronomy it was probably ties. And muggle dry cleaners. "STELLAR choice. I used to have one of those as well until....well, until it went missing last term."
Pup? Oh sweet solstice no. There was no way that the astronomer would have any pet that had fur. Or really any creature for that matter. They were all rather messy. Messy and dirty and some had claws and just........no.
"You must mean Pebbles," he said while holding up the rock for closer inspection. "I bought her at a muggle hobby shop in London. Best pet I could ask for. Always listens and is quiet and requires minimal care." Pretty much just ensuring that she didn't get dropped on hard surfaces and the occasional polish.
