Tongue sticking out to the side as he focused, Atlas did what he could to secure the other bits so nothing else would go popping off and with any luck that tiny screw she was retrieving would be the last piece to complete the wings...then it would be on to the fine detailing of the leg articulations...

"Hmmm?" he mumbled on instinct, barely hearing her due to his intense focus. The seventh year drew his attention away from his tinkering only once he was certain the wing would not pop off and looked up from the floor at Nora. He surely looked comical in the moment considering his monocle made one eye look at least four times the size thanks to its magnification, but he remedied that soon enough but pushing it up over his forehead until it was resting atop his head. Using it with both eyes open and not at something tiny tended to give him this weird feeling of vertigo. "Oh...they'll be a beetle once I find a couple more pieces and sort out a couple of design elements."

And he likely would not need to dismember anything else for said parts. He just had not gone through his box of spare bits and bobs he had acquired from over the summer.

Atlas probably was not the best person to seek out as a mentor and yet it seemed as though he was being unceremoniously thrust into the role. Sure. Whatever. "You'll at the very least get a detention, depending on the professor...or hooked up with another student, usually older, who will basically auror you so you get it done." Not that he was speaking from any experience - looking at you, Sadie Kareless. "Detention will really depend on the professor, so choose your battles carefully." Again, not that he was speaking from experience. "And then there is the remedial work that you may get assigned." And then...he really couldn't help himself. "Worst case they could send you to Azkaban...you know, wizarding prison...for failure to be a functioning and contributing member of society."
