To answer Oichi's question if he had seen someone die before, he looked at the thestral who suddenly stretched it's wings and figured there was no point in trying to lie. "Yes..." he answered slowly, his facial features and voice looked and sounded gloomy. That was all he said though because he didn't really want to go in to detail about the who and how.

Luckily, Jory came in the form of an distraction and the Slytherin had a reason to change the subject. "Hey Jory, Lex" he greeted the two of them and then gave the other Gryffindor girl (Penelope) a nod as well.

Daichi looked at Lex when she spoke about finding the groundskeeper and nodded. "Sure, just come back quickly" he said to her. "For those who can't see the Thestral you can stand by my side" He didn't want a case of one of them accidentally bumping in to the creature and it would either flee off or hurt said student.
