He smiled around at the group and tucked his hands into the pockets of his jeans. "Secondly, by contrast, you can answer this question for me: What makes a creature dangerous? What are some creatures you all have encountered that you would consider frightening or lethal?"
She shifted on her seat so that she could lean back and rest her hands on the edge of the bench, legs stretched out and feet crossed at the ankles. If she could slip off her shoes she would, the prefect was that relaxed, and at the same times exited.
One hand had to rise to answer his questions though, didn't it? It went up briefly.
"First. I liked caring for my foster pygmy, MO." It had her missing, smore, but not enough to take him back from her sister. As if such a thing would be possible now anyway.
"It was interesting to watch her eating habits now that I had a clearer idea of what they ate." And explained why so many of her snacks just up and disappeared.
"Second, what makes a creature dangerous to us is there method of defending themselves and attacking, and their eating habits. If a creature is herbivorous, and first natural instinct is to run from danger instead of taking the offense, then they're not that dangerous to us. But if they're like an acromantula who don't fear people or mind eating them, then they're pretty dangerous. They don't have to both prey on humans and be offensive in nature like the acromantula, but having one of those qualities is enough to make them dangerous." Her feet swayed happily as she paused to ponder her response.
"But even a creature who's first instinct is to run can become dangerous depending on the situation. So maybe, sometimes it just depends on the situation for some to be dangerous, and others are just that way naturally. I've met many of the former, and only a handful of the later. Acromantulas, dragons, a kappa, a sphinx..." She
could go on, but the prefect was getting tired of talking. Hehe.
