Still keeping the door very much within his line of sight, Daxton stepped further into the room and had a quick but thorough look around, mentally taking stock of the place. It struck him, once again, how suspicious it was that detentions were held in the dungeons, of all places. It seemed more to him like a prison cell, and a sudden, unwelcome spike of anxiety told him that the door to the room was sure to slam closed behind him, locking itself tight and keeping him prisoner, possibly forever.
But it did not - at least, not right away - and so Daxton forced his attention onto the most significant point of interest in the room: the whiteboard. He made short work of reading the riddle, though the answer was not immediately obvious to him. Daxton was used to riddles, enjoyed them, heard one every time he entered the common room. He enjoyed logic and strategy, so this should have been easy for him, but he was also always on guard, suspicious, and ready to be tricked at any possible moment. He had little doubts that this situation was any exception.
Despite the presence of the marker and the written instruction, Daxton did not act straight away. He looked uncertainly at the board, cast his eyes around for the professors - perhaps they might instruct him what to do, so that he could do it and be on his way as soon as he could - one hand automatically going for the notebook he kept in his pocket.
