"That was my NOSE you insufferable little.... just.... let me return the greeting..." She tried not to scream at the fact that a child had just germ-ified her sparkling hair and instead reached a pointy polished hand out toward the kid.
RuffleruffleTUGTUGyankruffle. There. Bunbury had sufficiently yanked out a few roots here and there in greeting Varius' head. "Had to make sure it was you," she told him sweetly, taking a step back from the Puff and smoothing out her jacket. At least he seemed to use conditioner.
"So what's the life-and-death matter we're here about, hmm?" Please, something not involving more hair-ruffling face-grabbing.
Varius didn't seem to take any notice of Bunbury's disapproval of his greeting and was more than happy to accept a retaliation head rub (because who wouldn't be, right?). However, it was not enjoyable at all! It was mean, hard, TUGGY. Was that air circling in his head?! Did he have a bald patch now? Had this woman bared his scalp?! His eyes watered slightly from the tug, but he tried to man it off - she couldn't see him in this darkness, right? And he couldn't go off on her for her harshness, not if he wanted her co-operation.
OH RIGHT! The reason why they were here in the first place.
He made way to go talk to her when he heard a rustling down the other end of the passage. He didn't dare share his plans when potential eavesdroppers were about. What on Earth were they doing out at Midnight? Maybe they knew what he was up to and was following him about. EEEEEKKK. GOAWAYCREEP!
"Professor," he whispered as quietly as he could, "I think we have company."
