"I'll take care of the branches." he said nodding more confidently than he felt. Then he saw the maw of the snargaluff as one student seized for the pod. "Unless of course you'd much rather not stick your arm in that." then they can switch.


He really was nervous. Stella hadn't really thought it was an act for Professor Bentley's benefit, but she also hadn't really thought one could be that nervous about Herbology. Granted, she was nervous herself, but that was just because of some of the other things that had happened to her last term in this class. She was determined to prove she could manage the snargaluff, to the professor and more accurately herself. She was still worried about getting injured, but so far things didn't look that bad. Scrapes, scratches... nothing that much different from the pixies, and as far as she could tell the snargaluff wasn't about to try and tangle her hair up. That gave it points in her eyes. Not many, but at least it made her feel better about the activity.

And she nodded as Vickers spoke again, offering to wrestle with the vines if she was alright with retrieving the pod. She smiled as he tentatively gave her the opening to get out of it, though. "Honestly? I'd rather not do either, but I think I can handle the pod better than the vines," she replied, glancing at the students who were currently struggling with said branches after speaking. She was strong, but that looked like a bit more than she wanted to deal with. Ducking and reaching seemed the better option, and besides, she'd have her gloves on.
