By his response so far, she was certain he was taking her words to heart. Stellar. Everything was stellar, wasn't it? Newton's First Law...? "An object at rest... will remain at rest unless it's acted on by an unbalanced force - I'm the unbalanced force?" she inquired with a grin. Is that all he was saying? That was why he had moved away a little with her nudge? Golly. Did he always have science on the brain?
Awwww. He wanted her to stay? "That's awfully nice of you." Howeeeever... she couldn't help but feel a little bit like she was making him undesirably squirmy and needed to give him a break. Naw, she wouldn't overstay her welcome. "Maaay I please take a rain check? Can I come back later? We can talk astronomy and you can tell me what a Tribble is." Because she was still puzzled about that. The astronomer cracked a smile. "Precisely, Miss Brown. Take 5 points for that connection." And two thumbs way way up from him as well.
"Certainly. Please feel free to stop by any time you like," he nodded. His office door was almost always open. "Better yet, I can show you what a Tribble is." Because surely her Ravenclaw curiosity and thirst for knowledge would allow her to sit through an entire episode of Star Trek. It really was the only way to fully appreciate Tribbles. Well, that and his slippers. "Thank you again, Miss Brown. For the note and the flowers." More ear blushing. "Have a fantastic rest of the day."
SPOILER!!: Gryffindor house elves plus a Dima XD Quote:

Lex managed to get the glitter that had been under the coffee table by the couch she was cleaning. Section by section it vanished until this part of the floor could actually be considered clean.
...
.....Then he was back...with lint rollers?? Well then...
Without questioning it to much--except for the doubtful looks--she took one of the lint rollers and went over the couch she'd just vacuum. Hang on, comfort cloud. Wow Airey, way to take a seat. Though this was like a treat for him and she hadn't wanted him to help anyway. Just...she wished he'd have shown up AFTER they were done as close as they were now. Just another wall to go and the glitter over there.
Oh, plus this de-linting apparently.
roll roll roll. Quote:

Just before he could say anything to the man, he had disappeared from sight. Oh. What was he going to get? OH well...
Back to work it was! And with that he turned his attention to a rather messy bit on the floor. "Vacavus!" Once that bit had been all cleared up again, Flailsteed was back and with... Lint rollers? Of course. Could not put that beyond him. So without a question, the Gryffindor walked up and grabbed a roller out of the box. "Hi, Professor," and now back to work!!
He followed Prefect Lex's!suit and walked over to one of the couches. Rooooollllll rooooolll rooooolll like it's his job. Good thing he polished this one too. It looked so purrrrdy. Quote:

It'd never been something she actively thought about because logically you weren't meant to be able to sit on clouds so he must have done something while casting. Conjuring took detail afterall, just like this de-linting once the glitter was gone.
By some stroke of luck she'd managed to get it off the chair fabric and she saw Zander, Penelope and Connor still at a few so those so.....the carpet by the coffee table. That was the last of it really, plus some along the floor near there.
Look at that. They were almost done already!! Team work, man she loved that stuff.
"Professor, I'll need one of those clouds to take back to my dorm." She idly commented after another bout of vacavus that finished off the last tip of the carpet. De-linting would happen here too. Never know how particular the Professor would get and if you were gonna do the job, might as well get it done right. Quote:

The kid moved on to the next wall on his side, white still filling his mind. "Colovaria!"
Paaause. "Can I have a cloud too, sir?" He had SO done as much work as Lex had. Quote:

Thank merlin it wasn't on the carpet or the lint roller would be needed again and that was tedious stuff man. "Dima, take care of that spot, will you?" The one closer to the corner. How had they missed that?
Anyway, they were done, pretty much. The others were probably finishing off stuff but yup, they were done now and the Professor could get her that cloud. That'd be nice.
"You can have this back now." She said, dumping the lint roller back into the box he'd brought them out in. Who knew those things would ever come in handy? Go figure. Quote:

...
But uh, to each their own right? So he just continued lint rolling. Because that's what you do when you're being watched by a very annal lint rolling type of guy. Or at least that's what you did when you're around Flailsteed.
Roooollll rooooollll rooooooolll. 'I love rock and roooollllllllll' except he wasn't singing out loud. Pft. Merely humming to the tune. Pft. Quote:

What if she stopped answering? Who would answer THEN?
Life was so stressful, man.
There was more glitter? But that wasn't even his JOB. Not that Dima would ever mind helping someone out with work that wasn't his, but he didn't actually know that spell. "Can you show me how?" To vacuum, that was. And now he wanted to KNOW. Your fault, Lex.
And in the meantime... last wall for him to do? Yep.
"Colovaria!" Ah. So much less pink. His father would be proud. Quote:

Looking around she was surprised that they were already pretty much done. She had removed enough glitter to supply a craft shop. AJ was proud. Spells were working for her and she was helping out her very own lion pack.
Lint rollers? She should have known. This man was slightly insane and he liked his stuff clean and lint free. The lion picked up one and rolled over the couch that she had just gotten glitter free. AJ rolled herself down for good measure.
"You both can have your own clouds...next term," he chuckled to Miss Cambridge and Mr. Toussaint. Although hadn't they done some cloud conjuration this term? He needed to speak with their Transfiguration professor about the logistics of her particular spell.
Wiggling back and forth on his bum as he sat on the cloud, he continued to observe what was going on around and below him. Yep, definitely liking what he was seeing. Both in terms of cleaning and team work. "This looks absolutely stellar. Way to whip your troops into shape, Commander Cambridge," he said with a salute as he used his wand to lower the cloud towards the floor so he could easily hop off it. "I'll see to it that you are all rewarded for your efforts."
