So polite, and he even took the tiniest sip, making sure he didn't ingest any wax. Was it just him or did the candle wax give the tea an odd taste? He set the tea and saucer down next to him.

Just... him, and with all that tea? Huh. "No, I'm not," he answered with a small slight shake of his head as he pulled a textbook to his lap. "I was just going to do some homework."
Finneas smiled awkwardly, his focus still on a spot just beyond the boy's ear as he bobbed his head for a moment. "Anytime!" He meant it too. Finneas was an introverted man, but drinking tea by himself was a lonely ordeal. Then he moved to sit back down. "Oolong!" he exclaimed as Gunnar set it down. He looked like he was trying to figure it out, might as well help. Finneas was so very helpful.

He blinked a few times, watching as the Prefect lifted a textbook to his lap. Was this meant to be a sign that Finneas ought to leave him be? If it were one of those, it went entirely over the Professor's head. He was no good at those thing, you know? Social cues. Straight over the head and into the cauldron shaped lake!

Ho, ho, ho!

"This is a very odd place to do homework, Mr. McCarthy." Candle wax could drip onto his textbook. That's why Finneas had an umbrella to cover his periodical. It would be a real shame to get candle drippings onto his paper. Just as he had the thought, some candle wax plopped into another one of the teacups, causing tea to plop out and fly through the air.

Finneas was blissfully unaware.
