Paul wanted to be.....VERY careful not to trod no pun intended?? on the centaur's.............dignity? Or something. He didn't want to unintentionally insult Thereos....

So he was very quiet right now, observing.

Funny beings, centaurs. Lots of that...Astrology stuff, right? The way the centaur spoke made Paul feel so peaceful, relaxed, and calm, much like the centaur's demeanor.

Until....the CENTAUR said...THAT.

Paul turned tomato red and cleared his throat. Merlin, Adi...what had he said? Paul hadn't even heard--but it surely didn't resonate well with Thereos. "I assure you, I do not condone such things in my classroom." Or...class...greenhouse thing. Paul just kept a straight face but MERLIN centaur bloke, WHY YA' GOTTA' CALL A MAN OUT LIKE THAT? And PAUL of all people...who was open minded he was almost SPLIT in half, Merlin!

And now Paul was feeling bitter towards this guy, and....was remaining silent. Because that was in character of a moody ex-Ravenclaw, apparently.
