Bunny comes into the room, glancing around before heading over to Dolores.

"Dolly. Fancy meeting you here. You wouldn't happen t'have anything that calms y'down would ya?"

He raises a curious eyebrow, and on the whole doesn't seem to need something to calm him down.

[wavesofjade]

"I do not know how you might expect to find me elsewhere," she chuckled, making a small gesture to indicate the room. She did work there, after all, and near tirelessly given her nature.

His question, and the raised eyebrow that followed, gained a slightly curious look. "Well, of course I do, is there something wrong, Aster?"

[inkedbunny]

He spreads his hands out in the form of a lazy shrug.

"Y'never know. y'coulda been makin' house calls."

Aster runs his hands over his very short hair with an easy look.

"No more different fer this tima year. S'not for me so much as m'googies. Some of them are more anxious than they needta be."

[wavesofjade]

She hesitated a moment at his dialect, but the context made it easy enough and she shook her head with a sympathetic expression.

"It is a stressful time for them all. I trust you have high hopes for your students?"

[inkedbunny]

Bunny grins at her asking about his students, his chest puffing out a little.

"They get brighta every year. So really, high hopes doesn't even begin, I mean they're shoe ins f'the high marks that's f'sure... Providin' most of them can keep their cool, which is why I'm here."

[wavesofjade]

"Ah-hah, I might have known that you would not want anything for yourself." She beckoned him over to where she had a few potions ready, at a strength she was happy to allow the professors to distribute.

"These should suffice, but if you have need of anything stronger, I must ask that you send the individuals in question to me."

[inkedbunny]

"I'm in m'prime. Fightin' fit, gotta be to make sure I can keep an eye on m'students after all."

He followed with a proud little grin, and easily takes the offered bottles into his large hands.

"Treasure! Don't'cha worry. They're all smart enough t'come t'you if they need it. This is just t'take the edge off the ones that are a little too edgey, if y'know what I mean."

He's grin becomes more of a lopsided smile.

"I mean, y'always get some who worry too much about grades. How y'goin' in here anyway. Nothin' too stressful, yeah?"

[wavesofjade]

"It is unfortunate that so much real importance is placed upon how much a fifteen year old can remember and put to parchment." They could make or break their futures in these exams, and they knew it. They were hardly allowed to forget it.

At his question she looked around, turning her hand palm-up as she shrugged. "Nothing too stressful at the moment. I do not think that anyone wishes to be hospitalised so close to the exams." Save for the number of panicking students, it was relatively quiet. "I will have some injuries to see to after the next quidditch match, I imagine."

[inkedbunny]

"Just a bit. At least I'm tryin' t'make sure most of what I teach is at least going to be useful when they're out in the real world. At least I hope I am."

He lets his face shrug at the thought. Because in all honesty he had no idea how many students will go on to use even half of what he teaches in their day to day, he just knows what he uses a lot and went from there.

"Well that's good at least. And I'm lookin' forward to the next house match. s'gonna be a ripper!"
