As the answers came in, they were about as oblivious to the few eyes that darted their way as they were bothered about the fact. Nem was more interested in watching for reactions to the board and answers in general, scrutinising each unhappy expression, bowed head, slumped set of shoulders, and everything else there was to see, filing it away to be picked apart later.
Nem had an inkling that this lesson was about to start moving into the realm of muggles, and they were soon proved right. That was when Schmoe lost them. Nem didn't care, they didn't care about muggles, never had, never would. No big deal; it was hardly as though that consideration was directed anywhere else, and it was not their disregard for muggles that had drawn them into the Neo-Alliance, though having an outlook that coincided with their tenets had only helped in earning Rosier's favour.
Fact of the matter was, Nem made the effort to learn about muggles for the very same reason they studied people in general. To play the game better than anyone, it was necessary to know what and who they were dealing with. They knew it was still a good idea to pay attention to this new question and the answers provided, but redoubled apathy hit them all at once like a curse to the face, and Nem drifted. They glanced down at Cambridge, then the unlit fire, before settling on fixing an empty stare somewhere off on the horizon.
