 And Derf! <3 curly haired prefect - "sometimes I get angry!" - 30/90 - *chicken emoji* - probably @ Disney - I speak dog
Alright, now time to poke around the root! He took his scalpel and poked around - ewww, it was squishy, like a sponge! This was soooo cool man. He eventually just pushed everything out of the way with his scalpel until he found the lungs. They looked sort of like human lungs...but made of plant matter, of course. WEIRDDD! This was so cool!
He looked up at Myers' and his example and continued his incision. Two more flaps, this time, triangle shaped...he was getting better at anticipating how much pressure he needed to cut through the skin now. He made his margins a bit bigger than needed, since he learned that the skin was kind of tough on this guy. Then, once he had access to the throat, he went back to the lungs and followed the thorax up, which would lead him RIGHT to the larynx. Which it did! Cooooool! He moved things around, looking at the voice box, the epiglottis, and all the fun stuff up there.
He raised his hand to answer Myers' question about their screams, which he didn't really know the answer to but he wanted to guess anyways. "Well, I'm guessing there's some sort of...magic involved? I mean, their screams ARE magical. They make you pass out or even die, depending on how mature the mandrake is. So I'm guessing they are just magically able to produce the noise without the same biological makeup as humans?" he guessed. It was his best answer, really.
Kane was trying hard to concentrate on his mandrake, but it was hard with Derf crying and screaming over there. Kane stopped and blinked a few times, not exactly sure WHAT was going on that had caused such a meltdown of epic proportions. Was he upset about the mandrake? He was all in to magical creatures and all that, the whole SCHOOL knew that by now, but mandrakes weren't creatures. They were plants! Still, Kane felt bad that he was so upset about...something, and since he was just a few feet away from him at his station, he stopped for a second and went over to the younger boy.
"Deep breaths, Derf! Everyone's fine," he told him. Well, he had no idea where any of those people were that Derf had mentioned - but they weren't trapped in another dimension with a monster, that was for sure. "It's ok, man. You're ok," he added, trying to comfort him somehow. That Kenning girl was holding on to him too, and he gave her a look and a shrug that said 'IDK man but I'm trying to help'.
Um...Myers? Help please!
