Did he care to translate? Not in particular and it seemed as though Professor Williamson had forgotten his question as he went on to explain instead. Saved the Slytherin any additional effort and he felt as though he were going to need that energy to keep himself in some state of check seeing what they were working with today as well as what possible activities they may be having a go with.
Still didn't know what shamrocks had to do with anything, however.
At least there was someone who looked more miserable than himself. Looking at you, Nina.
Eiji found himself distracted by the jarveys, remarkably, and something that one Hufflepuff girl had said. He only knew of her due to her being one of Rebecca's dormmates and he mostly found her irritating, so there was some agitation that it was her words that caught his attention the most. He knew from the history books that that the incident had been threatened human life ...so it made him curious as to just how a single rodent creature like the ones in that cage could cause SUCH a fuss and disaster. Looking at them you would not think of them as a dangerous creature and yet....
Wait. What had the question been?
He caught sort of the tail end of some other answers and it gave him some framework that, remarkably, also had him thinking a bit within historical contexts somewhat. Namely what had happened last term and the portraits. Portraits that were only capable of regurgitating back what they had been told about themselves. Rather convenient that jarveys were only native to countries with English as their native languages...though he wondered whether or not they were also capable of speaking in Irish...hmmm.
And what if one were to take a jarvey and plop it in another country? Would it be able to insult through the process of immersion?
Ugh he forgot that he did not raise his hand and answered in classes save for once (or he had forgotten that he had already spoken, take your pick) and his hand was raised again. "With jarveys capable of replicating human speech, does this mean that they must hear each word and insult before they speak it?" Like a parrot or portrait. "And would a jarvey be able to learn another language were it to be plucked from its English speaking environment and placed in one with another spoken language?"
He would ask why jarveys only spoke in insult but, well, he understood exactly why someone would speak that way. Just saying.
