SPOILER!!: so hurtful

That was roughly the reaction Nem had been expecting, and more or less confirmation of a good idea. But just one moment; please hold.

"Careful, Nee-naw, don't hurt my feelings." Did she see this? The slight pout? The look of hurt? All very genuine. All very suited to that angelic face of his. "But I don't mind if he thinks that, it won't make it true. And anyway, Rainwater's the one who wants us to hypothetically go through the trouble, I just figure it may as well be for something useful." She was getting a little hung up on the maiming thing too, and the scooting away was entirely unnecessary. Fleeing was awfully rude. "Alarm systems are dull and predictable. Easily disabled. Better something totally unexpected." This was all hypothetical of course; Nem really could think of dozens of better security measures, but that wasn't really in the spirit of the activity. If he was seriously thinking about making these toadstools to use them for this purpose, he'd hardly broadcast his ideas. The debate was just a way to pass the time; it was a useful skill, knowing how to argue a point you didn't necessarily agree with.

Nem looked thoughtfully at Castillo for a moment, head tilted. "Maybe I'll switch out 'Whomping Willow' for 'Devil's Snare'. That's a little less violent." Overtly, sure. "I suppose your ideas are all prim and proper?" The 'boring' was implied.

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.
