This boy and his cactus greatly intrigued Derian, and not just from a scientific perspective either--after all, how often did one come across a person who owned magical cacti that they could also talk to. Enki shifted abit, making himself more comfortable on Derian's shoulder. The owl also had his head cocked, as it if, too, was listening to hear what this cactus could do.
"Yes, you may ask." Eino said and paused for several seconds before realizing the boy already had asked. This boy had too many questions, or one very long question composed of small questions, that all deserved the same answer. Eino shook his head once again. Eino was very curious to understand how the boy came to such questions. How would a cactus crawl if it didn't have arms and legs? Or better yet, disappear if it isn't a magical being. "It collects dew." Eino said plainly, "magical dew," He added. Among the multiple things Eino didn't understand, one of them was the boy's tendency to believe the cactus should let itself out of its pot and walk about the castle. "Actually," Eino began addressing the boy's last remark "no place has cacti like Faustus." He should know, he created it.

"Yes, it did react in the train, but not since." Or before for that matter. The first time Eino had seen Faustus do anything other than stand idly was on their way to Hogwarts. He couldn't understand why so many people asked him so many questions in regards to Faustus, it was just a cactus. Had they never seen one before, perhaps? "Forget things? I don't recall forgetting anything." Eino protested unable to remember the last time he had forgotten something.
