It wasn't taking a lot for Dalton to force himself to like Astronomy, because it was basically Physics, and - although he didn't like to admit it - it was more interesting. Space was pretty blimin' awesome. And he knew some stuff about it, so he lifted his head slightly, and dropped his hands from playing with the magically made wooden name plate to raise one into the air.

"Er - Asteroids are minor planets of the Inner Solar System, yeah? Which is the Terrestrial planets an' the asteroid belt, right? And the first was called Ceros - or something... an' it was found by some Italian guy in the early 1800s... Right?"

He was totally right... right? Ugh maybe he should have just kept quiet. He lowered his hand towards the end of his answer and began playing with the nameplate again, eyes fixed firmly on the desk.
