OCC: The next task is to RP taking out your characters telescope, and trying to find mercury in the sky. If your student didn’t bring a telescope then feel free to RP claiming one from the cupboard. Feel free to be as successful or not as you want with finding the planet. I don’t mind if you partner up either. Have fun with it! I will teach a spell to focus the telescope lens in my next post.
Yes, all those planets were correct, of course. Treyen had not been expecting someone to say others either.
And now they were off to fetch a telescope if they didn't have one, or get their own all set. Well, he was about to set his own and search for Mercury when...his eyes found someone that was either having trouble with their telescope or the activity in general. He walked her way, with his Astronomy notes at hand. Just in case.

She gently pulled it out of its case and headed toward the window.
She set it up and then peered through the lens in search of Mercury. She hadn't used her telescope in a while, so the zoom was off-focus and not clear at all. She frowned at her telescope but kept adjusting the zoom until it looked normal again. Hmm... So where was the planet anyway? She moved her telescope in the right direction and then in the left. She couldn't focus on anything at all, though. Kurumi Hollingberry and her know-it-all self was chatting away right next to her.
Blahhh.
Hopefully, Sierra wouldn't mind. Right?
"If you don't mind me...," he started to say, as he placed a hand on her telescope and leaned it a bit more to the horizon than it was before, just NOT on the actual horizon, of course,
"...it's either that one on the left, or the other one on the right," he said, after peering through it, eyes on her.
"What do you think?" he could point both directions to her, most certainly.
But the telescope did need a bit more focus, though, he just didn't want to adjust it without permission.
