Professor Dursley? Was a... fish? Had Adrienne missed something? Because as far as she could remember, he was a person, not a fish. The fact that Flamsteed was calling his fish Professor Dursley was really........ fishy. She couldn't help but crack a smile at the pun, though it didn't make things any less weird.

Yeah, okay, it was official, Adrienne was currently in the classroom of someone who was completely bonkers. Egg-tossing, fish-speaking-to, one hundred percent crazy. What could a broken egg have to do with, well, anything, let alone Astronomy? She could tell she wasn't going to be learning much of anything during this lesson, at least, which was disappointing, though it lined up pretty accurately with her previous Astronomy experiences. Silly, not very practical, and not actually learning much of anything interesting.

"A failed attempt to make an omelette?" she volunteered dryly, not even bothering to deign the question with a proper answer. If he wanted to explain something to them, he could easily do so without messy, slimy metaphors.
