Cambridge had not exactly been on the same page as Nem with that line of thought, but that was fine, and not an uncommon occurrence. They were content to let her run with that assumption, and simply listened to her own ideas, which... Nem supposed that might work, though they could see flaws in that plan. They also could not entirely relate to wanting to make it so clear what they may or may not want, but absolutely did not say so.
Moving on. Thriving in darkness. Night vision charm. Visionem Nocte. Nem twirled their wand around their fingers while the lights went back down, then pointed it first at their right eye, and circled, and then repeated it on the left. Visionem Nocte. Visionem Nocte.
The room bloomed back into sight again, sort of, in a kind of sickly green glow.
Like Cambridge, Nem didn't intend to take part. That was a clever trick of Peralta's though - or perhaps not a trick but an accidental benefit, which were apparently common around here - even those who didn't want to do the activity would need to practice the spell itself, unless they wanted to end up sitting in the dark while most people around them, including the professor, could see, and see them specifically. Nem wasn't worried about practicing the spell in any case, that part was fine; it was doing much of anything around Peralta, whom they now had reason to distrust, that Nem was trying to avoid.
They did at least do her the courtesy of not being completely obvious. Backing away into a corner of the room, they cast a quick Disillusionment Charm on themselves around the time Peralta seemed preoccupied with Cambridge, then looked at their hand, to see how well it held up under night vision. Huh.
Whether or not it would stop the fake mice seeking them out, they didn't know, but it didn't matter. If nothing else, a spell or a stomp would deal with those. As for Peralta, the same was true they'd burn that bridge when they got to it. In the meantime, Nem watched the students, watched the professor, watched everything, in total silence.
