It was an authority thing. Archie didn't even realize he was doing it.

"Luckily, I'm hoping to be sticking around much longer than the last groundskeeper, and..." Awkward pause. "Any... groundskeepers before as well. Hopefully." Unless, of course, something took him away in the night down the Forbidden Forest. Archie let out a very short and nervous chuckle.

"Haven't you got, errrr, homework to be getting on with today, Miss Cooper?" That felt like a staffish to say.

Was he SCARED of her? Maddie was getting those vibes, yeah? She was mildly amused now too because she was twelve and he was-well-ANCIENT. He most definitely knew more spells than her so even if she WAS looking to bother the guy, he'd have the upper hand. Relaaaax, groundskeeper. We're here on a friendly visit. "Nice to meet you too, Mr.--" He hadn't said HIS name yet, right? Or had the headmistress mentioned it at the feast...she couldn't remember right now. "Sorry. I don't know what you're called." But he'd tell her, yes? Sharing is caring after all.

"I'm sure you will, Sir. If you're worried you could always hire a body guard." PAUSE. "Or get a large dog." Big and scary and mean. A disgruntled kneazle could work too, actually. "I have a Zeus that you could have for a price. He's not a dog but he's mean." Did he feel more at ease NOW? She was being so helpful here.

Homework? He was trying to get rid of her, yes? Sadly she wasn't ready to go, not yet. "No, Sir. Not yet anyway. I do have to stop by the library later to read up on flesh-eating plants but I figured we could have a chat first." She paused, giving him big innocent eyes. "That is if you're not too busy for me."
