Okay... "You should ask Professor Zookara when we get back..." Because she wondered if all that made sense.
Selina nodded her head along with the Professor's explanation. She had no idea what any of that meant. All she could get from the explanation was that Muggles tried to re-create something that was once alive from whatever, she hesitated to use the word magic, they had. But here it was. Maybe the Muggles were better off without magical intervention. Look at all they had accomplished. Then again that debate had so many sides, no need to bring it up here.
"Um, okay, I'll be sure to do that. And thank you for the helpful explanation." She was still very confused.

Finally calming down a bit, Kurumi stepped out from behind the Groundskeeper and walked near the fence right in front of where the T-Rex was roaring. To the other students, it probably looked at though Kurumi was going to be eaten. "Professor, this model is not the size of a full grown Tyrannosaurus Rex, right?"
Looking back at the creature, Kurumi momentarily lost interest in the fact that she was looking at a dinosaur and began thinking more about the mechanical aspect of it. What all was it made of? How did they get it so move so smoothly?! Kurumi almost wanted to take it a part and find out...
Kurumi's thoughts of taking the dinosaur apart were interrupted by Selina's question.
Um...how did you explain the concept of a robot to someone who grew up having no idea what a robot was? "Selina, this Tyrannosaurus Rex is animatronic which means it is like a giant puppet," she explained pausing for a moment to see if that made sense. Probably not. "Um, think of it this way. Imagine you have a giant stuffed animal and you remove all the cotton from the inside and insert a whole bunch of metal and wires. Electricity makes it move..." Kurumi stopped herself there and looked at the red head's drawing. "Just because it isn't a real one doesn't mean you should stop drawing," she smiled.
Again someone tried to explain to her how the thing moved without magic. Selina tried to keep up with Kurumi's explanation of metal and wires and electricity! How outrageous a concept.
"Electricity?! Are we in danger? Should I get them to leave? I'm really good at getting attention! Give me the cue and I will vacate the premises."
