Cris mouthed "okay" when Jasmine replied to his question and then his attention was drawn to Professor Bentley announcing that class had started. When she instructed them to put on their gloves, Cris reached into his jacket pocket and pulled out his dragon hide gloves, quickly slipping them on.

Then he checked his pockets to make sure that he had not left any nice tasting goodies in it...which he had a tendency to do. Ascertaining that all food bits had indeed been already eaten, Cris gave the okay sign and waited to be allowed into the greenhouse.

No foodstuffs unless they wanted to be eaten comment only peaked Cris' interest. Why did they need to worry about getting eaten...unless....they were going to be working with plants that exactly that!.

Heart pounding...not from fear, but the knowledge that he might be coming face to face with a flesh eating plant made him wary but excited at the same time.
