It was funny how many witches and wizards would stick their noses up, in varying degrees, in the air about robotics and the Muggle approach to things. But the truth of the matter was that the same principals of Muggle metallurgy were relevant and applicable to metal charming...and you simply could not study one without the other. So, basically, it was pretty ignorant to think that one was above such studies - they were crucial to magic too.
Basically...it was a good thing Daniel had kept his thoughts to himself or else the tension in the practice room would have grown even more stank.
"Sure is," he nodded lightly. "Though mum and my unchiul never got into that business. Neither are all that fond of quidditch...though mum did play in a students versus professors match while she taught here." Dad too but, well, they weren't talking about dad.
Squinting without outright doing so, Atlas' gaze lingered on Daniel a bit more before he starting poking around the box again...and the Hufflepuff started kicking it unnecessarily. Not that THAT was irritating or anything (it was).
The blonde was unsure as to whether or not Daniel's comments were meant to rile him up, but they did not. If anything else they were solidifying some truths that Atlas had already subscribed to. One being that Daniel was possibly looking for a reason to 'best' him in something and Atlas had seen straight through the plan. The other being, and connected to the first, that it was a known fact that Atlas was not a very proficient dueler and therefore it would not be much of a challenge not particularly good practice. Unless maybe the Hufflepuff was blindfolded...but Atlas did have some integrity he would like to pretend was still in place. "Glad you see my reason," he replied with a slight shrug of the shoulders, completely unbothered and eyes quickly back to his collecting of miscellaneous objects.
