Ethan crept along the perimeter of the garden, peering through a row of mundane lilies he had planted himself after several failed cross-breeding attempts. No sign of the vine here.. And he looked up as Lafay and Minerva posed several questions. Yes, it probably would be nice if they had some sort of plan as to what they would be doing once they found the plant.. and luring it out might be a good idea so they could get this over and done with.. preferably with no more casualties or kidnappings.

He cast a sidelong glance to Bentley as she spoke. Oh.. he was under the impression that she knew what sort of plant they were looking for.. though flesh-eater was most-likely a given. "Perhaps if we describe the plant to you, Professor Bentley.. That might help you identify it?" And maybe they'd be better prepared for what they were up against? "It was pretty dark when I saw it take Professor Burbage.. but I could see several green vines wrapped around her legs.. they were really long. The vines, I mean.. And it must have been pretty strong to pull her from the room like that.." Maybe that wasn't a whole lot to go on, but he wouldn't soon get that picture out of his head..

"Minerva's had contact with it a few times." And once in the literal sense. "She can probably describe it better than I can.." he added as his eyes swept the immediate vicinity for any sign of movement and he held his wand tightly. Yes, he knew a decent stunning spell.. but he would also keep Incendio in his back pocket as well.
