You know what showed a lack of empathy, DANIEL YOON?! Laughing at someone in pain and thinking it was AMAZING.
Though Atlas could not hear the laughter over the music, so at least there was that.
He also really couldn't pay attention to much else once Quinn had his hand on the Gryffindor's cheek. Eyes watering and his right one just baaaaaaaarely able to squint open, Atlas was sure he was okay but also...not okay in that his vision was a little impaired presently. "Just...stings...a lot...is all." He wasn't surprised, but also was, that Quinn was then scolding the Hufflepuff tornado...though he didn't really think it was necessary. It had just been an accident and probably spared Atlas the embarrassment of stepping on someone's foot while trying to dance. Still squinting through that one eye and his eye watering like crazy, it was just the eye's defense mechanism to flush out containments, Atlas turned his attention towards Tadhg and nodded. "Yeah...I'm fine..." He also offered Dahlia and Apollo small smiles since they were close by proxy...and then that budding hormones induced drama.
Girls were dangerous, clearly.
Knocked entirely off whatever rhythm it was he had pretended to find just now, Atlas was relieved when Professor Gunter moved things along and didn't bring further attention to the fact that he had been smacked in the face by hair. Plopping himself down and stretching his legs out in front of him, they ached a little these days due to growing pains, Atlas glanced up at Quinn hoping he would just...plop himself down here as well, or else things would be really awkward.
His ears perked up a little as dance time turned into story time and the Gryffindor actually knew a couple of these names (namely Loki)...but soon Atlas was zoning out and looking around at all at all the lights. They were distracting and his mind found itself trying to make constellations out of the lights. Sleipnir was a horse...with entirely too many legs...maybe he could find that kind of shape in the lights...
Zoning out, and his eye still squinty squint, Atlas kind of lost himself in his scavenger hunt and starting picking his nose...and the majority of what the professor was saying zipped in one ear and right out the other. He came to around the time that some of his classmates were answering...whatever question, or questions, had been asked. That one older Ravenclaw, Misa...he thought he name might be, steered him close to the right course and suddenly his hand SHOT up.
"Ehwaz!" Runes were like constellations in a way, painting an abstract picture of something, and this one he remembered being two horses. Like twins. It was the rune for him and Aries, basically. "That's the...uh...rune she is thinking about."
And he pointed to the Ravenclaw just to make sure Professor Gunter knew what he meant. He probably should stop pointing at people.
Maybe tomorrow.
