It tried maneuvering around to sit in a better spot, but...

The letter attached to it's foot made it difficult.
Sending off the last of his owls, the astronomer was just about to head back towards the castle when the appearance of a bat in his HAIR made his stop. Stop and flail about wildly with surprise was more accurate, at least in the initial moments until he was able to work out it was only Chu Chu. He had grown to tolerate the tiny creature, sort of, but when it did things like THIS...he was not particularly fond of it.

"Alright, out of my hair," he muttered, using his fingers to just barely touch the creature enough to pluck it from his head and set it on a windowpane. This could only mean a letter from Medea, which he had been expecting, but he was not expecting this news.

Reading the letter only it didn't take very long to read as it was quite short, and not very long was also approximately how long the body would survive out in outer space without the protection of a spacesuit. The pain a human body could feel in those moments of swelling, ebullism, and lack of oxygen was short - at most two minutes, and that was being generous - but this...this was something he would have to live with for a long long while.

And now he realized just how much he had been looking forward to this.

Now that it was gone.

Slowly, the professor leaned forward and caught himself at the last minute when his hand shot out to stop his forehead from smacking against the stone wall. And then he stood there for a few minutes, longer than two, while refusing to let the broken pieces in his chest come to the surface in the form of tears.
