Did that girl just ... throw all the snakes onto the ground??? As Irithel had been standing close to the crate, she screamed a little and ran in the opposite direction. This was her worst nightmare - being surrounded by a few hundred serpents. Thankfully, Professor Kitridge quickly got the situation under control again. But this time another kid was trying to seek attention. She frowned, more confused than annoyed, when she heard Emmerson's words. They sounded familiar ... but she had no idea what treasure or destruction she was talking about. It was none of her business, anyway. Class was moving on.
The tall brunette took a poster from the ground and read the guidelines. She could understand the logic behind them, but was slightly concerned about "serpent eats another animal". The only animals available to eat here were humans, other serpents, and animals deep in the lake. She hoped no one would get eaten in this lesson, even for divination purposes. She crouched near the snake she was sharing with Ashley and observed it. GASP. It "hissed and went the opposite way" from her roommate, just like how the poster said snakes would behave near a potentially suspicious person ... HAHA, that is hilarious, her friend is not suspicious at all. This snake must be too little to know what it's doing.
"Have you done anything questionable, Ash?" she winked as she jotted down her observation. The next moment, the snake began to slither towards her. "Oooh, looks like I have a warmth around me. Well, I am dressed warmly today." More note taking and a gentle pat for the snakey.
