So he gave the young man a small salute as they approached each other.

"Afternoon, Joshua." He greeted and glanced down at his right knee. "Nah, an old injury. Recently took a Bludger to it though so it's acting up again." Same old, same old. Still, not sure if he should have told him or not. The limp was something he usually covered up when any of the new professors were around. "How are you settling in?" He continued instead. "Are the kids being nice to you?" Merlin knew sometimes, they tended to push boundries with new professors just to know how much they could get away with.

At first Joshua wondered if Haraldur was going to return his greeting. He was still getting better acquainted with his colleagues and the groundskeeper was one of them. Even though they lived practically next to each other on the grounds they barely spoke or had their paths cross on a daily basis if you didn’t count meals so he was to be quite honest not sure about the older mans character or views.

Coming to a stop next to Haraldur his eyes dropped to the knee once more as the elder man explained the reason for the limping. Raising his gaze again Joshua offered quietly with a gesture to the knee again. "I can fix you up a healing ointment of herbs if you want for that? I know how old injuries can be right pains. I have a shoulder that tends to act up when it get’s too stiff. I got it smacked by an overly playful tentacula some years ago." Around all plants,but especially the more dangerous you needed to keep vigilant.

Giving off a little sigh as he brushed through his dark hair Joshua responded ponderingly. "The students have given me a nice welcome, but they weren’t slow to starting testing bounderies and my patience too that’s for sure, but that’s to be expected I guess. I’ve understood that my predeccessor professor Myers was well liked and respected so it will take some time for the kids to warm up to me. How long have you been teaching here? Did it take long for the kids to start respecting and liking you too?" The rules that kept getting added probably weren’t helping but Haraldur taught every kids favourite subject and Joshua knew not everyone said that about herbology.
