Could Aries just...get on the same page as him here without Atlas needing spell things out for him? Though he did find himself too emotionally spent in the moment to really get himself worked up enough to be annoyed. Seeing dad again had burned all his emotional fuel cells and he was still looking to replenish those. "That's not what I mean," he huffed while trying to fold his arms across his chest. Something that did not entirely work out since he still wasn't letting go of his brother's hand. "I mean that ---"
But his thought was interrupted by the arrival of dormmate Apollo and yet another someone else who did not grasp the concept he was trying to put out into the universe. "No food until the headmaster's speech. That's the ropes," he shrugged a bit and glanced up at the staff dais defeatedly. Though there was some comfort still in seeing Auntie June still here and Professor Williamson. "Empty stomachs are going to stick around for a bit longer."
Atlas himself was not too terribly hungry. All that, uh, conditioning he had put himself through to prevent accidents from happening had their consequences too.
His attention drawn to another voice, this one in Ravenclaw robes (Kaira). Well...if she was coming over here then really certain other Ravenclaws ought to come over here too. "Whatever 'okay' means," he shrugged back, his tone a little unintentionally cold. Because what DID okay even mean these days? "Ready for the pumpkin juice." Which was something he regretted saying because he really didn't even like pumpkin juice and it had just been the first drink to come to mind and therefore he was going to have to drink it when it appeared or else look like a liar.
Which then had him looking around the Great Hall again and vaguely hearing some mention about cuddle piles. Atlas would still be keeping his hugs and cuddles as exclusives, but there was that longing tugging at him like it had been when entering the Great Hall along with Aries. "Everyone could probably fit at the Hufflepuff table...or Ravenclaw..." Both were the centered tables with Gryffindor and Slytherin on opposite ends of the hall.
