For a moment Lex just sat and stared up at the man. Staring was all she would permit herself to do until she could find words nice enough to keep her out of detention. A night in the dungeons with this one...? Eh, she'd pass on that one. Better things to do and less annoying people to see. Stare. Any minute now, she'd find some nice word. It...would just take some time and a lot of self control. Who was he to come and tell her her privileges were revoked? She hoped he got eaten like Runes Guy had back in her first year.

"How?" Oh look, a nice word. Keep 'em coming Lex and this wouldn't be so bad. "How will I, and anyone else who wants to see the fleshies, prove ourselves if we won't be allowed near them until after we've been proven? Will re-potting a mundane lily show you I can hold my own against a dragon tree?" Curiosity, she couldn't be faulted for that, could she?

Stare.
He felt exhausted because of all the social interaction with a young person. He wasn't that used to that. Although he's been or was a tutor for a long time that didn't require that kind of arguing about rules and all. This was going to be tiring job, he thought. He walked around the desk and sank into his chair.

Did she just question his entire years of education as well as his ability as a herbologist to recognize people with enough credentials. He tried to convince himself that that wasn't what she meant, she probably was a curious mind who was interested in that process. Although, she didn't look the type. But for his own sake he was going to assume this. Because then he would find himself packing up and leaving because Walton had very little patience for this.

"I do not think I need to explain myself and my policy to you, miss Cambridge," he told her calmly. "I only ask of you that you trust that the years I spent studying and preparing to be a Herbologist as well as the years that followed in which I devoted myself to my career are more than enough for me to recognize skills and credibility when I see it," If she didn't trust him then that would be a totally different issue that she would have to talk about with the Headmistress who was a Herbologist and would understand that sort of thing. He sighed then added, "If you think you have what it takes you needn't worry at all," But he wasn't going to change his policy. He was very aware of the school's history and all the things he didn't fancy adding anything morbid to it. That would only smear his name and reputation.
