 Flamsteed, Toddles and Tinka! <3 ~ Rise and Rise Again, Until Lambs become Lions ~
The way the Professor responded to his question had Sabel feeling a tinge of guilt. He recognized the tone, the look. It sounded very similar to regret. Regret of a personal nature or action against a loved one. But it didn't amount to murder. If anything ----
MERLIN'S GREAT BEARD!!
Sabel jumped as the Astronomy Professor's hand came crashing down on the table. It wasn't his nature to jump at much anymore, but he had hardly expected such an outburst after such quiet words. Eyeing the man skeptically, he carefully and as discretely as possible, removed any and all sharp objects from the bloke's vicinity. "No. I didn't expect you would...."
But as for Quigely's alluding to an unstable nature. Well that, he wasn't sure he could entirely discredit as fiction. And what with the way the man was staring at him....
The elves were another surprise, tearing his attention away and back to where they were. The great hall. The splattered cake. The eager elves. Merlin he hoped none of the seated students had overheard their conversation. It would make for some right terrible gossip. Worse than had already been started. But no, they were too far away. The hall was too big. And hopefully there was a healthy serving of respect.
His attention returned back to Tinka and Toddles, realizing on the reflection that they had asked if he wanted anything. The 'I'm fine thanks' came a might bit too late. There and gone again. Perhaps he'd stop by the kitchen to get help with the cake deal later.
Returning his gaze to Flamsteed, the man's silence got an arched eyebrow and a small smile. "Helpful lot."
