Hogwarts RPG Name: Addison Ayers First Year | Quote:
Originally Posted by Krel Ansell Cauldron washing was tedious and boring, but necessary and Adam had learned over the past year that sometimes his coworkers didn’t do a very thorough job at it. So, he’d taken it upon himself to do most of the equipment washing. This way, he knew there would be no chance of any cross-contaminates messing up his experiments and research. He hung the last of a gaggle of cauldrons up to dry and grabbed a towel to wipe his hands. Two minutes later he was heading back to his desk.
He resisted the urge to whistle, despite being rather jolly. It was hard to be irritable in a chamber that was dedicated to the study of love, and Adam knew that if he ever did seem a bit melancholy, he could just wander a bit closer to the fountain of Amorentia and that would perk him right up. As it was, just walking past it at a considerable distance, his sensitive sniffer picked up the faintest trace of mint, dirt, and broom polish. His eyes closed momentarily and he sighed. When he opened them, he was walking past a coworker’s station. “Hallo,” he said with a smile. “It is Sam, ya?” he asked in heavily accented English.
The door opened and Adam looked in the direction to see their Department Head walk in. Adam waved to her, wondering if she’d brought treats. It seemed that every interaction he’d ever had with the woman had included food and almost like a trained puppy, he had come to expect it hoped the trend would continue. Adam, after all, did love food even if his physique didn’t show it. He always had a bit of a sickly white pallor and looked like he hadn’t eaten in weeks. He tucked his hands into the pockets of his lab robes and rocked on his feet for a moment wondering briefly why Addison was in the room. Department Heads rarely visited the work areas and it made him speculate her reasons for visiting. Sam had started daydreaming while she worked to clean a cauldron and didn't even notice that someone else had entered. Surprising, since it was so quiet and empty most of the time. She finished and stretched her arms. As she did, she heard a voice and she looked up fairly surprised. "Oh, hello! Hi, yea, I'm Sam. Nice to meet you!" Sam put her arm out to the man for a handshake. "May I ask yours?" She had not met him before, she was pretty confident... She would feel terrible if she found out she had! She noticed his accent, and wondered if she wanted to learn more about this man. |
