"Lost something, sir?"
Botros didn't bother standing up, the boy had found him here behind his desk, and so he remained seated on the floor. "Marco! What a great timing. I seem to misplaced my spectacles, the ones I use for reading. Could you help me look?" His office was too big, with too many ornaments and artifact replicas to search on his own.

... "Oh did you want anything, my boy?" Ab quickly added, climbing on his desk to stand up.

Step two. Opening the door without fumbling too much with the handle of the door. Moderate failure there thanks to sweaty palms, but he eventually made his way inside only to find that the old man had probably just been taking a nap.

"Oh, I, er, didn't mean to disturb you," he stammered while tugging on his fingers. Should he come back later? "I, er, just wanted to ask you about something. I-I can keep it brief."
Okay, okay, he managed to untangle his feet from the blankets, Botros turned to see that his visitor was the Stars professor. How wonderful! He hadn't had a fella in his office all this year, only the two new squeaky pinky professor ladies. And that was slightly uncomfortable back then.

"Oh no, no, it is quite alright. Fire makes me sleepy." A hoarse chuckle followed by a small cough then the old man got up from his rocking chair, wrapping the blankets around him, and gestured for Flamsteed to join him. "What did you want to ask me, then? Would you like some tea?" Hmm? Botros made great tea. All students attested to do that. Yes? Ab was smiling happily at the obviously nervous colleague. It felt like being with another student, oddly enough.
