Cut off mid way through whatever it was he was about to say, which was most likely his agreement confirming their meeting place and time, Aurus just managed to step out of the path of this motley cavalcade, thankfully managing not to tread on any of them as they ran by. He did, at times, manage a sort of resemblance to a tree which made it easier to avoid getting too rustled.

Obviously he was a bit surprised, his eyebrows raised high as he watched Hank deal with the situation (mostly by getting someone else to deal with the situation). Head cocked to watch the cat, followed by the dog, in their scramble down the hall, he rather got the impression that this sort of thing might happen around here on at least a semi-regular basis. Was this what it was like being around children?

"Is Pebbles a student too?" he inquired mildly in answer to Hank's apology, clearly not actually bothered, and also not really trying to poke fun. (Names were, after all, the sort of thing that did vary quite a lot across cultures and Aurus wouldn't have been shocked to meet a person named Pebbles). "I assume this is all another ability, and not the result of the children drinking some sort of transformation potion, as it would be in my own world."
