Intricate, detailed, stressful, takes a lot of work. None of those things troubled Nem in the slightest... when it was to do with something he actually liked. Plants? Were not on that (very short) list. So, hearing they would be doing their own herbological crossbreeding experiments later was not something that inspired a whole lot of enthusiasm.

... Nor was the creative-sounding activity. For a split second, Nem's face was like thunder and his entire demeanour darkened, but in the next moment he had sat up in his seat again, chipper once more. And look, a readymade partner in Castillo. How lucky. "I've got one I think you'll like." He said to her, nudging her with that elbow again. "A Snargaluff-slash-Whomping-Willow-slash-Bubotuber toadstool. Looks like a regular old amanita muscaria, but if you get too close to it, thorny vines come out and punch you up, maybe strangle you a bit, and douse you with Bubotuber-ish pus on contact." Did she love it? Of course she did. "Nothing says 'stay off my land' quite like a full fungi assault, don't you think?"

"Ow!" The seventh year whipped her head over to give nemesis a(n unironic) pointed look in response to the assault from their pointy elbow. Nemesis was doing this on pURPOSE!!! If she didn't think she would draw too much attention to herself, Nina would have moved right then and there. She should have moved to a different workstation immediately after Nemesis took their seat next to her. This was all so unfortunately timed. Especially because the younger Slytherin was distracting her from getting any of her work done.

Currently, she was diligently working on plans for her own "imaginary" cross-hybrid. Not that she was at all interested in the activity, but she didn't want to get into any trouble. Obviously. She could overhear some of the ideas being shared around her and they all sounded as useless and ridiculous as the next. Her immediate thought had gone to strengthening the original toadstool. Perhaps by isolating traits from another plant to make it more extreme-weather resistant or something? She jotted the idea down right before she was yet again prodded by Nemesis' elbow.

Honestly, had they ever heard of personal space? How about social distancing?

"..............." It was what was shared that made Nina's eyes grow big though (she already had really big pretty eyes, Calyx told her so all the time but they grew even BIGGER in shock, to clarify). Strangle?? Full fungi assault???? "Professor Rainwater will think you're a psychopath." And honestly? Maybe he'd be right. Nina was most definitely scooting herself a little further away from them. "Why go through all of that trouble AND potential maim someone??? when you could just invest in an alarm system!?" This wasn't a question, actually. It was most definitely a statement. Any normal!!! person would agree with her. This was a test.
