Ethan smiled at Minnie and shook his head a little. He thought it was already fun for the gnomes and didn't hurt them.. but if she felt better about it doing it her way, then all the better. Chuckling a bit, Ethan reached out an arm and held her steady as she grabbed for him. "Are you going to be alright?" he started, but she was moving again in search of another. Hopefully she would last till the end of class.

Chuckling some more as he watched her trying to coax a gnome out from hiding, Ethan went in search of his own gnome. He moved a little away from the large cluster of students, hoping to find one in a less active part of the garden. And there was a flash of blue.. He quickly crept up on the gnome as it popped its head out of the ground and his hand latched on top.
