Even as the professor started to look towards him, Daxton quickly averted his gaze before they could make eye contact. He did not expect to be addressed at all, seeing as he had not offered up any answer, so when he heard his name spoken Daxton was initially a little surprised. Perhaps he had been spotted hiding from the initial hand-holding in the lesson.
Daxton glanced back at Myers. See him in his office? ... Well... alright. This would not be the first time he had been asked to see a teacher after class. In fact, this was the third time, by his count. He was quite used to the request, so gave a simple nod of his head, silently turning his pen between his fingers.
As for the question, the first answer that came to Daxton's mind was... well, dead things. Dead bodies. Carcasses. Granted, he was no expert in either compost or decomposing dead entities, but it sounded like a logical enough answer to him.
Not that he provided the answer at all. It was something he was not a hundred percent sure of, and even if he was the type to say an answer out loud, he would not have done so for that very reason. The possibility that he might be wrong was too high, so Daxton instead added the suggestion to his notes, followed by a question mark.
... And then suddenly sneezed again, managing to bring his arm up to his face just in time to muffle the already quiet sound. Ugh. Plants. Much more interesting when you looked at them in books. Awful when you got anywhere near them.
Just like the smell in here, by the way. Even though Daxton was sneezing a fair amount, that did not stop him from being able to smell the very obvious stench of manure in the room. It was vile. He pulled the neck of his school sweater up and over his nose and mouth, making a now-hidden disgusted face, and resumed his silence, though it was still punctuated by the odd unwelcome 'kitten sneeze'.
