"Hello."

Yes. Perfect answer to a question.

"Sorry, ha, good! Uhm, great... actually." He looked down at the table expecting to see a shiny name tag with his new promotion written on it. Instead he noticed that the patch of water on his suit looked remarkably like sweat. Nice, let's fold our arms across that. "Remind me of your name again?" His eyes squinted. Because all he could think was catman. "Archie." He pointed to himself. Since he didn't expect anyone to remember his either.


He had to say, he was a little confused by the way the man looked over his shoulder. Must...have been one of those...that heard voices from time to time. His 3 year old said she did--but they all came from her stuffed rabbit so there was some hope? Maybe? Sort of? He really should owl his wife to get rid of that thing. In retrospect, it was creepy.

But back to this bloke, the one hearing voices without a stuffed rabbit.

Maddox raised an expectant brow while the man quieted his headspace with all the stutters and murmuring. It's okay. He could wait. Plenty of crazy to keep him occupied. "Maddox." He offered when the question was posed. "Maddox Quigley. Nice to meet you." Truly. Seriously. "I don't suppose this happens all the time?" It always seemed so organized from where he used to sit at the Gryffindor table. He would have never suspected.

Huh.

SPOILER!!: Cece

Okay, so that cat WAS a human, and not a very smart one at that. "Word of advice. Stay in human form when this one is around," she said pointing at the nutty divinatin professor. Unless of course he liked being manhandled and talked to like a baby.

"And you," she said directing her attention once more at Cassie, "you deserve every one of those scratches you now have." Too bad he didn't scratch her eyes out. "Maybe some day you'll learn not to pick up animals that don't belong to you."


For the record, he wasn't trying to scratch anyone's eyes out...not if they were gonna hold him accountable for it afterward. No. He was denying that straight up but this woman here had a point. When a cat started squirming and wiggling AND scratching, there was a good chance it didn't like you...or as the case was here, didn't like being held and smushed and cuddled.

Maddox glanced back to the blonde that was freaking out in her own seat now before nodding. "Duly noted. Never thought it'd have caused such a stir." Screaming, cuddling, cooing, someone nearly passing out. Was he honestly the only one who didn't think any of this was all that serious?

"You're the Healer, yeah? Healer Murdoch?" Last he remembered and with all the notices he'd gotten etc. "Reckon you might have something for a sudden headache?" Because this wasn't budging.

SPOILER!!: Not catman, gosh Airey!

"Good to see you haven't lost that stellar sense of humor," he said dryly as he proceeded to roll his lint roller all over the man's cheek, down his neck, and then his arm. Man had to be COVERED in that stuff after having just turned into one of....THEM. Airey eyed the man's cheek and chin again. "Hmmm...seemed to have missed some there," he mused, rolling it all over the man's cheek once more. Bloody fur wasn't coming off!


And no, they were FAR from even. In fact, if one were to compare, the distance between the Milky Way and z8_GND_5296 was closer. THINK ON THAT, MADDOX.

"Alphabetically challenged...right," he snorted with an amused smirk. "Helps if you sing it if you've forgotten." Assuming that song had gotten through his thick skull. "Would have thought you would have learned your ABC's by now."

Aaaaaaaaah pseudo-brotherly love. It was a marvelous thing, wasn't it?


It was the strangest thing, but even as he spoke to the Healer, he felt something sticky smack against his cheek. It drew his attention immediately back to Airey who'd only just complimented his sense of humour. Maddox side eyed the lint-roller as it made its way up and down before swatting at the man. "What...in Merlin's soggy beard...d'you think you're doing?" And a disturbed look to boot because this was getting all kinds of weird right about now and the man was inclined to believe that he was still in fact sleeping up in his office and this was all just a REALLY odd dream.

"Dammit Airey, cut it out." This time he tried slinking lower into his seat. Swatting was a lot more effort than he bargained for and he could hardly expect to keep it up. "It's not fur, I grew this myself and my wife won't appreciate you trying to get rid of it either." She happened to LOVE it so SHOO STAR MAN. The scruff stayed.

Hah. The song. That song. The reeeeally annoying one his 3 year old got the 2 year old twins singing horribly, loudly, off-key and incorrectly everyday. THAT song. "Can't say I've heard of it." With the most casual of shrugs. "You'll have to teach it to me sometime. We both knew you were the more diligent of the two of us with academics." Not true, in fact hardly even half believable but you know how these things went. There was a time when Maddox actually cared about it all.

And there it went, the rolling continued despite his fickle efforts at dissuading the man. "So help me Airey, if you don't knock it off I will show you what fur looks like." At the risk of being cuddled again though that seemed less likely now. Your choice, mate.

"HAHAHAHA!" Merlin's beard! This feast was crazy already!
He could actually hear the laughing all the way down the table from where he sat. Yet another to join Meredith. Sigh. Starting the year as a laughing stock wasn't exactly on his list of things to do but what was there to be done about it now. Eh. Eeehhh. It was what it was. He couldn't be bothered to try remedying anything.

Eh. No. Effort.

Besides, he found himself hiding a snicker as Airey took it upon himself to change the Healer's wardrobe. Far be it for him to interfere. He didn't understand the dynamics and it was a relief to know the attention had shifted from him.
