"I can only guess as to what has helped you," James deadpanned in reply. Was it too late to pick his things up and leave? Because he had already had quite enough. This is why he chose not to leave his office most days. Because a day cooped up was better than a day tarnished by the presence of Airey's kind.

Just as he began to straighten his stacks of papers and reach for the briefcase that had been tucked under his seat.... he could feel gross, warm breath run down his neck. Someone stop that man before James decided to strangle him. "Do tell," he managed through gritted teeth because despite not wanting anything to do with the astronomer, his curiosity had peaked quite a bit. But he kept his gaze straight forward, not wanting to turn and accidentally get even closer to the lunatic. Crazy was contagious around here and James Draper intended on staying sane.

If the astronut knew the man's thoughts, it is likely that he would still remained unfazed. The initial SWEET SOLSTICE THIS MAN MAKES ME WANT TO WET MY TROUSERS phase had passed and while the glare was reminiscent at times of a certain former Headmistress...James was lacking a certain X chromosome to be truly terrifying.

"Toss up between ethyl mercaptan and butyl seleno-mercaptan," he mused, tapping his chin with his index finger. "Playing with hydrogen sulphide will do it too..." The astronomer couldn't help but maturely laugh at butyl seleno-mercaptan - which surely James was familiar with to some degree given its association with creatures - and it was amusing to the man that....'but' was part of the molecule's name. Butt would have been BETTER...but you can't win them all.

Grinning at his own sense of humor, Airey returned his attention to James and got lost for a moment as to what they were talking about. But fear not, he remembered soon enough. Just a bit of a pregnant pause had. "Oh, yes..." he nodded at the man's invitation. "I need to step away from Hogwarts this weekend on a bit of a...personal errand," he continued. James did not need to know the details nor was the Astronomy professor willing to share them. No one need know the state of his medical - for lack of a better word - condition until he had more conclusive results. "And thus am in need of someone to keep an eye on Gryffindor while I am away. I leave early Saturday morning and will be back Sunday evening in time for dinner." Pause. His options were quite slim. It was either the Potions professor who had literally poisoned his entirely class due to neglect...or the man before him who was rather indifferent and had more self preservation instincts than a Slytherin.

But hey, at least James had never poisoned anyone? That counted for something.
