He was tempted to get his screwdriver out from his pocket and just disassemble the toy right here and now. It looked like what he wanted was here...but the size could be off just a bit and then he would be wasting a couple of sickles and knuts. Well, at least for this project. He supposed he could consider it an investment but...he was impatient to complete this particular project and was more about that instant gratification.
Left hand slipping into his pocket, Atlas began to feel around for the tool and pushed aside a couple of gears and the metallic sticks gifted to him by Nemesis several years ago now...only to nearly jump out of his skin when a voice spoke from behind him.

To his relief, however, once he turned around he found that it was just Emmerson standing behind him and not the shopkeeper. And, speaking of growing up and growing out of things, he realized just how much they had drifted apart from one another. They weren't those toddlers in Ministry daycare together anymore causing havoc and trying to plan their grand escape so they could explore the Ministry on their own terms - or go swimming in the Fountain of the Magical Brethren or go check and see if there were timeturners still locked away somewhere or go feed the blood hounds on level four. She didn't know how a naïve interest had grown into a full blown passion now - though maybe him explaining would at least ring some bells. At least he knew she still danced, he had observed her performing a few movements airily here and there in the corridor or a corner of the common room every now and than. Nice that some things did not change, you know?
Still, she was a friendly and familiar face despite the lateral growth and was able to offer a sheepish smile. "I don't actually want it for its intended purpose...I just want its parts so I can complete Thimble."
