 be curious, not judgmental
...Merlin, Flammy was a jumpy one, wasn't he? Sophie tried her best to stifle giggles at his theatrics and seem unamused, but she was sure he wasn't fooled. Heheheheh. She did kneel down and start nicely shuffling his astray papers and folders for him, though. Super nice of her and all.
At the man's joke, Sophie started to humor him and laugh, but Dot's elbowing made her let out a soft "Oi!" instead. Did the girl know how pointy her elbow was? Kid was bony, man. But she covered up her alarm with a smile that she shared between the professor and Dot, and she nodded at Dot's questioning - once again trying not to laugh at her use of the term "astronuts."
"I thought it made sense, but I wasn't sure, so we came up here to better think like astronauts and figure it out ourselves, but since you're here... well, we're ready to learn. Teach us, Oh Great One," she teased, picking up the last of his papers and offering them to him with a big, goofy grin.
