Unfortunately for Zeus, she cared little about his proximity to her work. She was focused, eyes fixed on her hands, fingers working nimbly to fold each piece of paper just so.

Having correctly signed his answer to the Ravenclaw knocker's riddle and been permitted entry, Daxton stepped into the Ravenclaw common room, tugging his earmuffs down off of his ears as he did so. Though the common room tended to be much louder than the corridors at times, that was not usually the case at this time of day. The room was reasonably calm, though Daxton had to take a moment or two to adjust to having his hearing unmuffled. During this time, he cast his eyes about the common room, habitually surveying the area and shifting his three library books under his arm as he did so.

One girl in particular caught his eye, Maddison Cooper, the girl with whom Daxton vividly recalled sharing a carriage to school with just over a year ago. Though, it was less the girl herself that had grabbed Daxton's attention, and more what she was doing. Folding paper, over and over again, into creatures. Origami. It seemed such a mundane, meaningless activity, yet mesmerising, geometrically intriguing, and Daxton could not look away.

Noting the creature that sat nearby, Daxton approached anyway, and sat himself on the floor just across from the Cooper girl, trying to keep his distance from the cat-... no... the kneazle. Already he felt his eyes stinging purely from sitting so close, and Daxton rubbed at one of them, casting a suspicious and distrusting look at the animal, before looking at the paper creations instead, and setting his books and the floor beside him. Soon he would need to brew some more allergy potions, but for now, he inspected the small horde of strange origami creatures.
