What..was going on inside his head? Daxton's head? Paul would have paid big money to know..he had the big money to spend on it, too, but...sigh. Unethical, wasn't it? He rather felt like using those 'mencies (legilimency and occlumency) could be a bit dicey.

But the boy DID look...uncomfortable. "Daxton. Communicate with me. Communicate," he said softly. "WHAT did you want to experiment for? Do you want me to set aside plants for you to experiment ON with...proper experimentations?" he asked, knowing he would full regret that later on if Daxton obliged.

Oh, and, "You have detention with me every Saturday for the next month." Thought he should add that in there. "Because it is wrong to kill defenseless plants for the sake of experimentation. There's a thing call ETHICS...look it up." Unless he knew the way ethics worked in a field of study already.
