.....what was this torture? Honestly.
His expression turned sour when the professor decided that now he wanted to hear what the fourth year had to say...and Nina earned herself another jab with his elbow into her side. He had his own dirt on you, Nina, that was slowly accumulating over each Creatures lesson so be careful what you were giggling at.
And he wanted to be snarky, ask if he wanted an answer based on a proper acromantula or simply a 'giant spider', but he held his tongue.
"You seemed satisfied by the answer Nina gave which included acromantulas. Would hate to repeat answers again," he offered coolly in reply instead. Though he did offer something regardless. "...human, acromantula." Very inspiring. Much wow.
And then the next question popped up and Eiji was more than fully content to just keep his mouth shut for this one too. Though it also seemed like Professor Cornish would now take great pleasure in calling him out and demanding answers. Stay quiet and Eiji lost. Speak up and he still lost. And Eiji Rasting hated losing...almost as much as he as beginning to hate this class.
Though something did pop up in discussion, this inferi attack, that half sparked his interest. He had spent all of it in the common room with Eloise watching the bodies walk towards the shore through the windows in the common room. Was also where he had finally sorted the name for his hairless rat after owning it for a year.
"Considering how that treasure in the lake had been there for centuries...Viking in origin or something like that if I recall correctly, the inferi too had been hidden in the depths of the lake for centuries as well, right? So were they not, over time, assimilated into the ecosystem of the lake? Perhaps the flesh on the bodies provided nourishment for carnivorous creatures who happened upon them and such. So their eventual permanent removal by the Ministry, likewise, was a disturbance to the lake's established ecosystem."
And look. Someone else was calling them giant spiders. Eiji held his tongue once again.
