Nem's strained smile was cause for some concern. Kinz wanted to check in with him and see if he was sad, but before she had the chance, class had already begun and Nem had pulled out a book. Maybe she'd ask later. But she diiiiiiiid lean over just a tiny bit to see if she could catch what he was reading about (spoiler alert: she could not).
Nem wasn't the only one to be proper upset with the lesson though. Because after that one first year (Victoria) countered Kizzy's question so unkindly, Kinsay James began to frown. "Tentacles," she corrected the younger girl quietly, not wanting to be incessant and interrupt class. This was also, coincidentally, the reason why she didn't immediately counter V's explanation. Kinsay didn't think Squids wore watches! She never said that!! And now EVERYONE thought that's what she meant!
Which made her feel silly. And feeling silly was not a thing that Kinsay liked very much at all.
So when Atlas spoke up to explain more about squids and time, Kinsay was already very much disengaged. She was also disengaged when Professor Flamsteed added to the conversation too. In fact, the only thing that somewhat reeled her back into the lesson was when Mamie mentioned ducks. But only somewhat.
So when the next question was posed to the class, Kinsay didn't feel super up to answering it. Not until the same first year spoke again and Kinsay suddenly felt the need to stand up for herself. Sort of. "You don't need a face or ears to be an animal," she pointed out very politely with her hand still extended in the air. "Corals can't make their own food, so they can't be plants." Actually, this could very well be wrong. Kinsay wasn't entirely sure what corals could or couldn't do, but plants did photosynthesis and if Professor Flamsteed said that corals weren't plants then there was a high likelihood that Kinz was right. Maybe.
Also, now that her hand was up and she felt better about class again, Kinsay had a question about gillyweed gills. "Professor Flamsteed? Will gillyweed give us shark gills? Or fish gills?" Because there was a difference. Shark gills were way cooler because they didn't have something covering them up and there were LOTS of them. Bony fish only had one on each side and they had these weird flaps so you couldn't even see them! Kinsay knew because she used to have a fish before she killed it it died.
