What was once an abandoned room next to the arena down the corridor is now full of metal sculptures in the shapes of creatures. Labeled accordingly, most of them one could recognize as being more dark in nature, such as the hinkypunk and red cap. Others seem to be created due to sudden inspiration from the maker, such as the squirrel or swan. The door is usually unlocked, open to both student and staff. Don't panic if some of the sculptures seem more lifelike than you first thought. A twitch of a wing. Movement of a head. A chirp from a bird. Was that clabbert always hanging from there? Watch where you walk however. You may just run into a cobweb or two.

Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuh was right...

Planking had been momentarily expected to happen, but thank Merlin single words were spoken. Medea finally filled her lungs with much needed air, even if it were short. Him. Her. Twice. Twice? Good Merlin, twice. Twice was a lot. "I-I..." Was. Stuttering. Ahem.

She managed a twitch of an anxious smile and a slight shake of her head to kill a few seconds for proper thinking and composing herself. Apologizing was at the top of her mind. She...didn't ask permission after all. That was wrong. Though, she didn't want to apologize. Not...when...she wanted to do it. But, it wasn't up to her now.

"....Is that.......bad?"

For whatever reason, it made HIM feel a little better that she was stuttering, but it did very little to ease the tension and the tingly feeling that was picking at his limbs. Nothing he had read in any of his books about human interaction and relationships could have prepared him for this - VERY disappointing since he had spent muggle money on them in a muggle bookstore to get them. Muggle money was a fascinating keepsake, you see.

He actually choked on some air when she asked her question, making it difficult to keep the smile on his face, but he did somehow manage to keep something there that was between a grimace and a smirk. "B-b-b-bad?" he said as he continued to gag on air a bit more. "Far....far....farfromit."

Coughing and gagging and choking had stopped now, but the astronomer's face was hard to read - a reflection of his thoughts at that moment. HE had no clue what to think and therefore words were having a hard time forming. This, he and Medea, was not something straightforward like classifying the luminosity of a star. It was still something organic. Natural. Something that both came easily and not. It...it just was.

Was what exactly? That was the million galleon question.

And so it was that, in a moment of so-called Gryffindor bravery, that the lanky Astronomy professor just said the first thing that came to his mind while his complexion rose dramatically in color. "I-I-I think about that night in the Tower Patch all the time....and how I....s-s-s-somewhere in the back of my mind hoped it wouldn't be the last time."

Between what could have been an awful case of the stutters or something else entirely and her own fit of nerves, Medea slowly started to frown even more. Until she registered what was said. It wasn't bad. It was...far from bad. Far. From. Bad. Did he hear that!? No, wait, of course he did. He said it. He...said that.

In fact, more words were being said and the more that was said, the more those nerves intensified into uncomfortable little critters crawling under her skin until she felt like one giant buzzing bee with the inescapable rosy burn rising upon her cheeks. Frolicking fireflies, goodness. Few words, but a whoooooole lot of meaning and a whole lot to take in.

"...Really?" she whispered softly, before faintly clearing her throat. "I-I...I mean, you.....really?"

Really? What was that word supposed to mean in this context? Was that a really that meant 'you sure you feel that way, Airey Flamsteed?' or was it a really that meant 'I feel the same way about you, Airey Flamsteed!' or was it a really that was more 'ew, you do feel that way, Airey Flamsteed?' It was hard to translate the secret language of humanity.

Why couldn't she be speaking with gamma rays or something equally straight forward?

"Really," he squeaked back as he fiddled with his vest absently. "Is..........that bad?" he asked, echoing her same words from just moments ago.

Ooooh my, take a breath, that really couldn't have been any more clear. Could it? There wasn't much room for hidden meanings. At least, with...this. Right? Maybe? Goodness knows, she wanted to believe that it were true. A really to her really was...wow. A rather marvelous really.

"N...no, actually." Shy smile upon her face, her gaze glanced down with a short shake of her head. "Far from it."

While the man may have felt like that awkward boy at the Yule Ball moments ago, he was now transported to another plane of existence entirely. One that defied the laws of physics entirely and with such few words Medea made him feel like he would just float away if gravity were suddenly taken away.

Maybe even with it still acting on his person even. Logical thinking seemed irrelevant right now.

His hands were now back in his pants pockets and he had to force himself to look at her directly. Now WHAT was he supposed to do? This WAS the point where the man was supposed to make the official gesture, right? It was what his social interaction books had suggested at least. But to do that he needed words and those were hard to find right now.

"Does this mean that we are....a we?"

Roselyn · 11-28-2013, 08:14 AM

Fiddling with her fingers, wrists, and sleeves that were pushed up to her elbows, she unconsciously bit the side of her lip as silence took over for a moment. Perhaps three, five, or fifteen seconds passed. Maybe. It felt like an eternity. Though no time was wasted for her gaze to flicker back to Airey, fidgeting coming to a halt.

We. Were they a we? An us?

She smiled, before she could form the words. A simple three letter word was all that was needed. Starting with a Y and ending with an S. Say it. Saaaay it. Say it say it say it say it. "I think so..."

Close enough.

The astronomer found himself holding his breath while waiting for her to answer, which surprised him quite a bit. He had not taken himself to be the sort that would be so anxious and apprehensive over this sort of answer. It was a refreshing sensation.

Even if it was torture.

And – if he was being entirely honest – he didn’t even hear what she had to say because the smile that graced her features said it all. Hands came out of his pockets and formed fists so he could perform a subtle double fist pump like all mature adults should do under such circumstances. Who would have thought that a simple request to help him find a living pet would have resulted in not only that request being accepted, but another one as well? Not this man, that was for sure.

He then took a small step forward and, because he felt like his hands should be doing something more than just being held out there in the air, patted Medea’s shoulders with them while he grinned like an idiot. “You, so, um, you, yes, thank you for agreeing to, you know, help me with finding a pet and, um, I'm glad you liked the butterfly...and I promise I won't smash it like I did the spider.” Patting the shoulders some more. Pat pat pat pat. “I should, um, go and um, iron my hands…TIES…I meant iron my ties.” And then he leaned forward and kissed her cheek gently. “So…um…I’ll….be seeing you…” He took a step to the side to start making his way out of the room. “…around…” and then moved his index fingers in circular movements in the air for unneeded emphasis.

She couldn't have smiled more even if she tried. Actually, her cheeks were starting to hurt, but those were the best smiles to have. Right? It was SO nice to get this off her chest. It...whatever it was called. All this stuff. And to have it be returned?

Speaking of return, the defense professor didn't really know how to return the, shoulder patting. Nevertheless, in a split second, she hesitantly reached up and patted his...elbows. Was the first reaching distance she landed upon so, elbow patting, yes. "Right, right, yea. Of course." She nodded. A lot. Noddiiiiing to whatever Airey said, having unfortunately flew through one ear and right out the other. Her thoughts were in a frenzy. Too much to sort through in a... few seconds time... Oh my.

Medea held her breath. If there was ever a moment where time appeared to stop, it was now. Seemingly almost enchanting how a simple kiss on a cheek could cause such an experience.

"Right." she breathed out faintly, with a single final nod and lingering gentle smile. "I'll...see you around."
