The astronomer chuckled and folded his arms across his chest. "Sure, whatever launches your rockets," he mused as he watched the two get to work. Deciding to lean against the wall, Airey gave his leg a few pats to call Pebbles over, but of course she ignored his beckoning - like always. Obedience school had just not gone well for her...
What WAS it with students and wanting to label themselves as a favorite of a professor? It was...amusing to the man, if not a bit confusing. Back in his day in school it was astronomically uncool to be known as a favorite. Or professor's pet, as it were. Now, well, some seemed to take it up as a battleground of sorts. Of course, he was thinking of two former Hogwartians specifically, but kept such thoughts to himself.
"I have no favorites, Miss Brown," he winked. "Just respect and admiration for students and their academic achievements." Well, not purely academic as the man did like to encourage growth outside of the pages of a book. Anywhoo...
"You say that like being a nerd is a bad thing," he tisked at the prefect. Such a pity that the social constructs made that term such a....dirty word. If that was even the right way of explaining it. "When I refer to myself as a nerd, I do so in a word of acceptance." More people should embrace that side of themselves. Didn't everyone have that one thing they were passionate about? Something that they are willing to pour their passion into their entire life? He sure liked to think so.
