”Well.. silence helps one to observe.. doesn’t it? To observe people.. be it their attitude or habits or their reactions..one can gauge people by being silent.” Did that make sense? Lenora wasn’t sure but she gave it a try anyway.
Austin nodded in agreement. He wad going to like this lesson very much if he didn't have to talk.

And then class started. Well, she could think of a few things that quiet could help. You know, aside from the obvious ones that people were now saying. "Some of you could stand to be a little quieter when you're making out, just saying....." Made rounds a little harder when she had to stop every few minutes to pull people out of broom closets. Not to mention more awkward. Not that she was trying to shame anyone, just giving a blanket heads-up.
Austin snorted at this question. She had a point. As for his answer? Everyone else seamed to be saying more or less the same thing. Reading people was a good one. As was sneaking...Austin did say he'd try to speak. And he had an idea too that he wanted to share. So he put his hand up.
"...You need to be silent so you don't wake a sleeping creature that could hurt you." His voice was just loud enough to hear.
