Was it not still slightly early for 'bonsoir'? Filed under: things Kaiser thought but did not say. Even if he had been up for making conversation, he wasn't about to question people on their word choices. He was very much living in a glass house, in that regard.

For the remainder of the time before the lesson started, Kaiser had taken to messing with his own school tie, perhaps subconsciously mirroring Kodee. He wasn't trying to retie it or anything though, just fiddling with the ends of it. When Nostredame spoke to address the entire class, Kaiser dragged his gaze that way.

... So. Care of Magical Creatures could sometimes be a bit tricky for Kaiser, on account of how he had spent a long time keeping his distance from even mundane animals. Not that he didn't like them - he'd wanted a dog for the longest time, for all kinds of reasons - but, even as a child, had been so scared of getting attached and then losing his animal companion in some way or another that he had avoided any such attachment in the first place. Not to mention... certain practical obstacles. The point was... he was woefully lacking in general creature knowledge, and only had what he knew from classes and homework.

In the end, he decided to go for a general answer, rather than identify a specific creature. Eyeing the bird in Nostredame's hands, he let go of his tie with one hand and half raised it. "Most-" All? He didn't know. "-creatures have a lot less energy when they grow old. They might become tired, or weak."
