Fine until X meant that said logic had been flawed. Airey was pleased they had cleared up that little disagreement. Pleasure doing business with you, Maddox.
Before Airey could counter with reminding Maddox that he was a wizard too, a thought crossed his mind instead. "Didn't know your eyesight was that bad," he mused. "Aren't those feline monstrosities supposed to be able to see in the dark and all that?" His wand out, Airey pointed it at the Charms professor rather than the game piece. "Oculus Focalis." There, no his eyesight should be astronomically better. Just be best for them to remove the charm after an hour or so or else risk the man a migraine.
He allowed Maddox to grab it without much fuss - see? The astronomer knew that his colleague would give into his Gryffindor curiosity - and eyed the cup. Rolling his eyes, he plucked it from the air and filled it with milk before attending to his own coffee. Turning with both cups in hand, he moved to put the one with milk on the floor only to stop midway with an amused smirk. Nah, he wouldn't ruffled Maddox's fur that much. Especially not when he had agreed to a bit of word play.
"You?" he repeated, setting both cups down on the table and sliding back into his own seat. That was awfully vague. "Numpty?" Heh. "OH NO WAIT! Liar?"
And speaking of lies...
Airey scoffed and leaned back in his chair. Mature men? Better than this? Please, save those lies for someone that may actually believe you, Maddox. Perhaps a first year that didn't know any better? Or the ever naive and easily flustered LeoBALD. But then Maddox put down his front and they were talking business.
"Well, you see...I reckon his office is full of all sorts of protective spells and whatnot," he said in a low whisper over the rim of his cup of coffee. Especially if Dakest was anything like Medea in that sense...or himself. Thieves everywhere in this castle stealing things. Things like his Carolina blue silk tie. "So we'll need to strike somewhere else. Somewhere familiar enough to him that he will feel confident walking around unassuming, but open enough for us to do whatever it is we need to." He took a long sip from his cup and set it down on the table. "Figure we might be able to get some students in on this took. Couple of innocent looking ones. Have this one who I swear worships the ground I walk on. I'm sure we could use him somehow."
Using a student as a distraction, perhaps? Get them to stop the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor in a corridor or somewhere to ask a question and then BAM!
Brilliance.
