Having taken the paper back from Airey Flamsteed, Daxton busied himself with folding it up exactly so and slipping it back into his pocket while the Bubble Head Charm was removed. He knew it was not wise to look away while there was a wand pointed right at his face, but simply standing there waiting for the spell to be lifted felt just as wrong. By the time his hands were free to check his face again, the bubble had gone.

Which meant that there was no longer any reason for Daxton to stay. He had asked about the books, he had brought up another topic which had in turn set off an unanticipated and unwelcome spiral of thoughts, and now it was time to go.

He did not make any sort of goodbye gesture - though that was normal for Daxton - and besides heading directly for the door, he did not give any other indication that he was leaving. The way Daxton saw it, the physical act of leaving would be enough of a clue, and the issue of manners, of thank yous and goodbyes, did not even enter the equation. Even if they were something he usually paused to think about (and they were not), Daxton was far too busy focused on his own thoughts to grace the external world with what he would have considered pointless niceties.

Of course, the book he had taken from Airey Flamsteed's desk was still hidden up Daxton's shirt, and the act of walking towards the door had him distracted by thoughts of his earlier plan. He hesitated mid-step for only a fraction of a second, then simply continued making his way towards the exit of the room with even more purpose than before. He braced himself for any inevitable security measures that might strike once he passed the threshold, or potentially the professor himself mentioning the stolen text first, seeing as he already knew, and Daxton in turn knew that.

Although the man had thought that instead of a mere three words on the paper that diminished the purpose of the Ravenclaw's visit that he would instead read some kind of blunt reasoning about housemates being unsatisfactory or some other judgmental remark to make the switch desirable. Perhaps it was better that the man keep that assumption in his mind rather than know the truth? Only Mr. Prince would be able to know that answer. Assuming he knew what the professor was thinking. "If you're sure," he nodded, returning the paper to the young man and retrieving his wand to comply with the silent request. With a wave of his wand, the Bubble Head charm was removed and he returned his wand to his enchanted breast pocket. Did that mean they were finished here? Seemed incredibly abrupt, even for Mr. Prince.
