"Mhmm!" Abey replied, mega ultra super chipper even after having to do the writing thingy. "Hope you're doing well too, Professor!" he added, because that was RESPECTFUL and respect was mega ultra super important. Ooooh, and he had an Emmeline sat with him too. She got a big smile and a wave. "Hi Emmeline!"

Abey was ready, SO READY. Mega ultra super chipper ready, even though he was actually actually ACTUALLY terrible at Astronomy. All the cool pictures of space stuff that they got to look at made up for it. Galaxies were so pretty, you see.

Hmmm, but maybe he'd magically improved since last time. Magically without having done any studying or reading or anything. Soooooo he listened, ready for the first question that was about to come at them, suddenly thinking that perhaps it would be something he'd know and then he'd be able to answer and AMAZE EVERYONE IN THE ROOM WITH HOW SMART HE WAS.

... Orrrrrrrrrrr not. Well, that was okay too. In fact, it was much more normal for Abey to have not a clue what was going on in Astronomy, sort of like right now. He didn't know the answer, but he made sure to do his best to try and sit still and listen and focus.

Except it was mega hard to remember the constellations people were saying, especially the ones he didn't recognise. In fact, the more people were saying, the less he could remember, but Abey knew that someone had said 'Aquarius', which he remembered because it was a star sign, and 'Pegasus', which he knew because it was a sort of horse, maybe. Sitting there quietly while everyone else answered, he tried to commit at least those two to memory. October constellations, yes.

Oh! But he had a question though!

"Professor, can everyone in the world see the same constellations in October?" he piped up. "Liiiiike... do people in Egypt see the same constellations in October as people here in Scotland? Or, what abooouuuuut... an Australian October? Do they still see Pegasus there? And Aquarium?"
