astronomizzle ♧ gryffinDORK | & the rest is drag ♣ #badluckDerf If it made the young Mr. Paton feel any better, he was not the only soul to be on the unintended receiving end of one of the astronomer's spells. At least it was mostly harmless and nothing truly unfortunate had occurred. Well...outside of the reality that the artefact had now properly disappeared without a trace. The stairwell? Surely it had not evolved enough to open doors...
Swooping quickly to the side and punching a lengthy combination of numbers into the lift's control panel, Airey reached forward and gently tugged his former pupil out of the way of the lift's doors and conjured a sort of moderately translucent yellow shield to prevent anything from entering the lift.
"Walk and talk, Mr. Paton," he replied as he put a bit more urgency into his step and moved to patrol the corridor leading to the left of the lift. "I don't suppose you are familiar with something called a emersence trulc." It was an absolutely absurd word for an absurd object. Being? Airey had not spent enough time with the particular book this entity had supposedly popped out of and he could hardly blame (though he did privately) the Unspeakable team that had been cataloguing this morning to know something would pop out from the book to begin with.
