SPOILER!!:

Purposefully? Daxton? No. No. Not at all. Never.

He could see Airey Flamsteed out of the corner of his eye, but had decided to avoid looking at him now, particularly after ~~pushing~~ dropping the book onto the floor. Keeping his eyes fixed straight ahead, Daxton fiddled at his sleeve with his functional right hand and remained still.

It seemed that, even though the move with the book had been one borne of frustration rather than anything calculated, Daxton had inadvertently managed to coax something out of the professor. A reaction.

Finally.

Not until Airey Flamsteed spoke did Daxton look at him again, though he had been watching carefully in the edges of his vision. His eyes snapped automatically to the wand, and it took a moment for Daxton to process exactly what the Astronomer was saying to him. But process it he did, and the Ravenclaw responded with a nod of the head.

It had been an automatic response, but in actuality Daxton was not entirely sure of just what kind of an answer he might give, nor was he even all that sure of what the most honest answer was, though that part did not matter so much. He just needed to be convincing in whatever he said, not necessarily truthful.

Shuffling around on the sofa again, so he was back to sitting up, Daxton held out the flesh-coloured nub at his left wrist, where his hand used to be, so that it could be changed back with no further delay. He turned that piercing gaze of his onto Airey Flamsteed - though never directly into his eyes - his expression just shy of a characteristic scowl, and waited, though he half-expected it to be a trick, a joke to get his hopes up, a laugh at his expense. His eyes narrowed ever so slightly.

Until he heard the dull thud of the book being dropped to the floor. Purposefully, he was certain. Clearing his own throat, Airey placed his bookmark back inside the binding and casually closed the book. Upon leaning back to drop it on his desk, the professor leaned forward - elbows to knees - and observed the Mr. Prince and all his frustrations. The book, now discarded to the floor, elicited an subtly but amused smirk from the suited astronomer. Removing his wand from his pocket, he summoned the book back to his person and used it to salute to the Ravenclaw. Then it too was placed on his desk beside the other. Wand still out, he gave it a wiggle towards Mr. Prince but cast no spell just yet in the young man's direction. "Were I to remove the spell on your hand, Mr. Prince," he spoke, eyes on the fleshy knob. "Would you then use your renewed dexterity to explain to me why you so willingly attempted to steal from my office?" Especially considering how he knew that he knew that he knew that he....uh....however that whole bit worked out. Purposefully? Daxton? No. No. Not at all. Never.
